292 sider. .Orig. paperback. Scherfigs klassiske kriminalroman, hvor der langes ud efter overtro og mysticisme. Med sin brede personkreds og vekslende handlingscentre giver den et bidsk og satirisk billede af datidens Danmark. ## Bogen er trods de 56 år i bagagen let læst og har satiren i behold, men har måske ikke en indlysende appel til nutidens læsere udover den kontekstuelle læsning, der kan ligge ved at læse romanen ind i den samtid og den kulturradikale ånd den er skrevet i, fx i gymnasiets periodelæsning. Genudgivelse af Scherfigs kendte roman fra 1944. Bogen blev først nægtet udgivet under den tyske besættelse. Så derfor blev den udgivet i 1944 i Sverige. Oprindeligt skulle romanen være udgivet i Danmark, men udenrigsministeriet i samlingsregeringen forbød udgivelsen i 1942. Bogen blev efter befrielsen i 1945 udgivet i Danmark. Det er en samtidssatirisk historie baseret på en spinkel krimiskabelon, hvor en rig godsejer Skjern-Svendsen myrdes og leder til begivenhederne i lighed med Det forsømte forår og Frydenholm. Romanen fik en blandet modtagelse ved udgivelsen med anerkendelse af sin semidokumentariske satire, men også lidt retningsløse stød mod tidens "idealister": spiritistbevægelsen, seksualpædagoger, mystikere, nazister og jazzelskere, mens det var sværere at se, hvor forfatterens dybere ærinde ligger. Styrken ligger læst i dag stadig mere i det sære og underholdende persongalleri end i romanen som helhed. Meget pænt eksemplar. Som ny.

A father and his son walk alone through burned America, heading through the ravaged landscape to the coast. This is the profoundly moving story of their journey. The Road boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which two people, ‘each the other’s world entire’, are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. ‘The first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation. Here is an American classic which, at a stroke, makes McCarthy a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature . . . An absolutely wonderful book that people will be reading for generations’ Andrew O’Hagan ‘A work of such terrible beauty that you will struggle to look away’ Tom Gatti, The Times ‘So good that it will devour you, in parts. It is incandescent’ Niall Griffiths, Daily Telegraph ‘You will read on, absolutely convinced, thrilled, mesmerised. All the modern novel can do is done here’ Alan Warner, Guardian

Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be priest. He thought he was there for a simple little religious ceremony. Now he’s caught up in a war between vampires and witches, and he’s not sure there is a right side. There’s the witches — Agnes, Magrat, Nanny Ogg, and the formidable Granny Weatherwax… And the vampires: the stakes are high but they’re intelligent — not easily got rid of with a garlic enema or going to the window and saying “I don’t know about you, but isn’t it a bit stuffy in here?” They’ve got style and fancy waistcoats. They’re out of the casket and want a bite of the future.

Third book of the original and best CITY WATCH series, now reinterpreted in BBC's The Watch 'The work of a prolific humorist at his best' Observer The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . ____________________ 'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.' For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times. Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.
