Effi Briest - Theodor Fontane - Bog - Pushkin Press - Plusbog.dk

'Stunningly moving, beautiful, witty and urbane' Kate SaundersEffi Briest is only seventeen when she is married off to Baron von Instetten, travelling to live with him in a provincial town on the remote Baltic coast of Prussia. He is twenty years her senior, an ambitious bureaucrat who is uninterested in his young wife, and lively Effi becomes increasingly isolated, bored and anxious in her stifling surroundings. A half-hearted affair with Major Crampas - a manipulative married man with a reputation for womanising - temporarily distracts Effi from her loneliness. But years later, this brief liaison will return to Effi with devastating consequences. In this witty masterpiece of poetic realism, Fontane portrays a woman torn between her own desires and her roles as wife and mother, between her heart and the obligations of social circumstance. Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe. Translated by Hugh Rorrison and Helen Chambers. Theodor Fontane (1819-98) was a German novelist and political reporter. He began writing novels - now his best-known works - at the age of 57. Fontane once said that 'women's stories are generally far more interesting', and the story of Effi Briest (1895), is considered his masterpiece. Hugh Rorrison and Helen Chambers have translated multiple works by Theodor Fontane together. Separately, they have translated and authored works by and about Bertolt Brecht, Joseph Roth and other giants of German literature.

A beautifully produced new edition of Blackwood’s weirdest supernatural stories, including “The Willows,” highlighted by H.P. Lovecraft as "the single finest weird tale in literature” Lauded as one of our greatest storytellers, and inspiring generations of writers from H.P. Lovecraft to Tolkien to Stephen King, Algernon Blackwood left a legacy as one of Britain''s greatest conjurors of weird and supernatural stories.

Soon it transpires his room’s previous occupant is watching him from beyond the grave, and is envious of the very flesh on his bones. The Sea Fit -- an old retired ship’s captain’s ravings build to a terrifying climax, as he offers himself up as a sacrifice to the cruel gods of the sea . The Willows -- two friends on a canoeing trip spend a terrifying night on a lonely willow-covered island, haunted by the strange trees and sinister shapes in the water.

The Decagon House Murders - Yukito Ayatsuji - Bog - Pushkin Press - Plusbog.dk

The Decagon House Murders - Yukito Ayatsuji - Bog - Pushkin Press - Plusbog.dk

"Ayatsuji''s brilliant and richly atmospheric puzzle will appeal to fans of golden age whodunits... Every word counts, leading up to a jaw-dropping but logical reveal " — Publishers Weekly A hugely enjoyable, page-turning murder mystery sure to appeal to fans of Elly Griffiths, Anthony Horowitz, and Agatha Christie, with one of the best and most-satisfying conclusions you''ll ever read. A classic in Japan, available in English for the first time. From The New York Times Book Review : "Read Yukito Ayatsuji’s landmark mystery, The Decagon House Murders , and discover a real depth of feeling beneath the fiendish foul play. Taking its cues from Agatha Christie’s locked-room classic And Then There Were None, the setup is this: The members of a university detective-fiction club, each nicknamed for a favorite crime writer (Poe, Carr, Orczy, Van Queen, Leroux and — yes — Christie), spend a week on remote Tsunojima Island, attracted to the place, and its eerie 10-sided house, because of a spate of murders that transpired the year before. That collective curiosity will, of course, be their undoing. As the students approach Tsunojima in a hired fishing boat, ''the sunlight shining down turned the rippling waves to silver. The island lay ahead of them, wrapped in a misty veil of dust,'' its sheer, dark cliffs rising straight out of the sea, accessible by one small inlet. There is no electricity on the island, and no telephones, either. A fresh round of violent deaths begins, and Ayatsuji’s skillful, furious pacing propels the narrative. As the students are picked off one by one, he weaves in the story of the mainland investigation of the earlier murders. This is a homage to Golden Age detective fiction, but it’s also unabashed entertainment."
