Konstnärens förhållande till det borgerliga livet är ett tema som Thomas Mann arbetade med under hela sitt långa författarskap, även i de fyra långa noveller som nu kommer i ny svensk översättning. "Tonio Kröger" om en ung författare vars far var köpman i en nordtysk stad är den tydligast självbiografiska av de fyra. Den lätt burleska "Tristan" om skönhet, kärlek och död utspelas på ett sanatorium; novellen förebådar romanen "Bergtagen". I "Döden i Venedig" attraheras en framgångsrik äldre författare av en ung pojke samtidigt som staden drabbas av kolera. Novellen "Mario och trollkarlen" från 1930 förebådar fascismen i Italien. Samtidigt är alla berättelserna psykologiskt realistiska skildringar av människorna och tiden, skrivna av en mästare.

"Dazzling. . . . An imaginative documentation of nature's sway over man." --New York Times Book ReviewFrom the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, an important and passionate novel set in Peru, that explores man's struggle with both nature and civilization Vargas Llosa's classic early novel takes place in Puira, a Peruvian town situated between desert and jungle, and which is torn by boredom and lust. Don Anselmo, a stranger in a black coat, builds a brothel on the outskirts of the town while he charms its innocent people, thus setting of a chain-reaction with extraordinary consequences. This brothel, called the Green House, brings together the innocent and the corrupt: Bonificia, a young Indian girl saved by the nuns only to become a prostitute: Father Garcia, struggling for the church; and four best friends drawn to both excitement and escape. The conflicting forces that haunt the Green House evoke a world balanced between savagery and civilization--and one which is cursed by not being able to discern between the two.
"Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the master storytellers of our time." -- Chicago TribuneFrom the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature comes a haunting novel about power, corruption, and the complex search for identity.Conversation in The Cathedral takes place in 1950s Peru during the dictatorship of Manuel A. Odr a. Over beers and a sea of freely spoken words, the conversation flows between two individuals, Santiago and Ambrosia, who talk of their tormented lives and of the overall degradation and frustration that has slowly taken over their town.Through a complicated web of secrets and historical references, Mario Vargas Llosa analyzes the mental and moral mechanisms that govern power and the people behind it. More than a historic analysis, Conversation in The Cathedral is a groundbreaking novel that tackles identity as well as the role of a citizen and how a lack of personal freedom can forever scar a people and a nation.
A collection of accessible Italian recipes, many culled from the author's popular Molto Mario cooking show, instructs home chefs on how to simplify and understand everything from purchasing ingredients to mastering elaborate preparation procedures, in a volume featuring historical and cultural information as well as tips for special occasions. 150,000 first printing.
A humorous thriller follows the exploits and adventures of ex-soldier-turned-vampire Felix Gomez, who confronts shadowy government agents, Eastern European vampire hunters, and lustful women when he investigates an outbreak of nymphomania at a secret government facility in Rocky Flats. Original. 45,000 first printing.
A tongue-in-cheek follow-up to The Nymphos of Rocky Flats finds newly made vampire Felix Gomez facing his toughest investigation yet when he is hired to infiltrate the corrupt world of Los Angeles politics and investigate the murder of a surgeon-turned-porn star. Original.
Felix Gomez, Latino vampire detective extraordinaire, returns in this third entry in the rollickingly fun and bitingly satiric series. . . . "Raymond Chandler could never have imagined an L.A. like this, where hard-boiled, private-eye vampires fight crime, as well as commit a few during lunch breaks."-- BooklistFelix Gomez, veteran and vampire detective extraordinaire, has survived aliens, nymphomaniacs, and x-rated bloodsuckers. But now the aliens are back in a fiendish conspiracy to kidnap earth women. Only Felix stands between the aliens and their hapless prey. But when an Army hit man attacks Felix and fellow vampire (and sexpert) Carmen, only the astonishing erotic powers of the undead Kama Sutra may be able to save them.
" Acevedo] manages to update vampire lore in clever and imaginative ways."--El Paso Times If you haven't yet encountered Gulf War veteran-turned-vampire private eye Felix Gomez, then now is the time Jailbait Zombie--the fourth in author Mario Acevedo's outrageously original dark fantasy p.i. series--pits the undead against the living dead, as vampires meet zombies for a no-holds-barred beatdown. As dark, sexy, funny, and endearingly strange as Acevedo's previous vampiric excursions--Nymphos of Rocky Flats, X-Rated Bloodsuckers, and Undead Kama Sutra--Jailhouse Zombie is more of the top-shelf bloody madness that inspired Tim "Nuclear Jellyfish" Dorsey to comment that Mario Acevedo "is a very disturbed man--and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term."
" Acevedo] is a very disturbed man--and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term."--Tim Dorsey, author of Nuclear Jellyfish Felix Gomez, Latino vampire detective extraordinaire, tackles a sexy werewolf cabal in Werewolf Smackdown, the fifth installment in Mario Acevedo's satirical supernatural series. The author's wonderfully twisted blend of comedy, horror, and detective noir--expertly flourished in such books as The Nymphos of Rocky Flat and Jailbait Zombie--places him in the august company of Eric "Anonymous Rex" Garcia and Christopher "Bloodsucking Fiends" Moore, while earning him raves from coast to coast. The Baltimore Sun calls Acevedo's novels, "decidedly good, unclean, unwholesome fun," while author and fan J.A. Konrath calls them, "a smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry."
Drawing on his own research along with others' work in neuroscience as well as some provocative new research in NDE (near-death experiences), Beauregard proves that genuine spiritual experiences can be documented and they generally have life-changing effects. "The Spiritual Brain" explains how such experiences work and the difference they make in the lives of the individual, powerfully arguing for what many in science are loathe to consider - that it is God that creates religious experiences, not the brain. Most neuroscientists are committed to the view that mystical experiences are simply the result of random neurons firing, or as one scientist puts it, they are merely 'delusions created by the brain.' But Beauregard uses the most sophisticated technology to peer inside the brains of Carmelite nuns as they recall their most profound spiritual experience which they call unio mystico, the experience of oneness with God.
In Brain Wars, acclaimed neuroscientist Mario Beauregard reveals compelling new evidence set to provoke a major shift in our understanding of the mind-body debate: research showing that the mind and consciousness are transmitted and filtered through the brain--but are not generated by it.Following his boundary-breaking neuroscience book The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul, coauthored with Denyse O'Leary, Brain Wars makes a powerful and provocative case against the widely held view equating human beings to complex biological computers.Like Jeffrey M. Schwartz, Beauregard believes that consciousness is more than simply a physical process that takes place in the brain. And here, he presents the evidence to prove it. Brain Wars will revolutionize the way we think about thinking forever.
"Dazzling, passionate, a masterwork that ranks with Puzo's best." --Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguys"One of his most satisfying works....A thoroughly entertaining posthumous present from one of the masters of popular fiction." --BooklistMario Puzo's final masterwork. A sweeping epic saga of corruption, greed, treachery, and sin, The Family is the ultimate crowning achievement of the #1 New York Times bestselling novelist who gave the world The Godfather, arguably the greatest Mafia crime novel ever written. In The Family, Puzo--whom the Washington Post calls, "A serious American talent"--plunges reader into the colorful tumult of the Italian Renaissance, immersing them in the roiling intrigues and deadly affairs of the remarkable family whose name has always been synonymous with power, corruption, poison, and murder: the infamous Borgias.
"A taut, fraught, look at tragedy, its aftermath, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. With suspense, dread, and always the possibility for redemption, we watch as Zambrano flips the cards of chance and fate." -- Justin Torres, author of We The AnimalsIn Loter a, the spellbinding literary debut by Mario Alberto Zambrano, a young girl tells the story of her family's tragic demise using a deck of cards of the eponymous Latin American game of chance.

In Mario Alberto Zambrano's acclaimed literary debut, "a Mexican-American girl uses the game of Loter a to reveal her memories, which add up to a heart-wrenching tale of violence, love and a broken family" (Los Angeles Times)--now available as a limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial. With her older sister, Estrella in the ICU and her father in jail, eleven-year-old Luz Castillo has been taken into the custody of the state. Alone in her room, the young girl retreats behind a wall of silence, writing in her journal and shuffling through a deck of loter a cards--a Mexican version of bingo featuring bright, colorful images.Neither the social worker assigned to her case nor her Aunt Tencha, who desperately pleads for her niece's release, can cajole Luz to speak. The young girl's only confidant is her journal. Within its pages, Luz addresses an invisible higher power, sharing her secrets and the story of her family's tragic demise--and the terrifying night that ripped them apart forever. Using the loter a cards as her muse, Luz picks one card from the deck with each shuffle. Each of the cards' colorful images-- mermaids, bottles, spiders, death, and stars--sparks a random memory. Pieced together, these snapshots bring into focus the joy and pain of the young girl's life, including the violence inflicted against her sister, the disappearance of her mother, her father's arrest. But just as the story becomes clear, a breathtaking twist changes everything.A surprising, spellbinding tale richly imaginative and atmospheric, Loteria is an exquisite debut novel from an outstanding new voice in fiction.
