F står for familie. F står for snyd. F står for fusk. F står for fiktion."Mange år senere, og alle voksne mennesker indfanget i hver deres ulykke, kunne ingen af Arthur Friedlands sønner huske, hvis ide det havde været at aflægge hypnotisøren et besøg den eftermiddag.?Dette er den første sætning i Daniel Kehlmanns roman om tre brødre, der - hver på deres måde - er sølet ind i hykleri, fusk og falskneri. De har truffet deres livsvalg og tilværelse, da en afgrund åbner sig og truer med at sluge dem. Et enkelt fejltrin, en tilsyneladende meningsløs tilfældighed, et eneste forkert skridt og noget, der ligner et uklart, spøgelsesagtigt mareridt bliver virkelighed.Det er sommeren inden, finanskrisen bryder ud. Martin, en overvægtigt katolsk præst, der har mistet troen og en umættelig appetit, møder sin halvbror Eric. Dybt forgældet og med den ene fod i en fængselscelle allerede, har Erik haft uhellige syner, men har ikke fortalt det til nogen. Spøgelsesagtige figurer, nogle gange i skikkelse af børn, advarer ham om en nært forestående dommedag. Advarslerne er dog ikke til ham, men til hans tvillingebror Ivan; de er identiske tvillinger. En tragedie udfolder sig.Kehlmanns roman om sandhed, familie og fiktionens forfærdelige kraft er et uovertruffent værk, med mange lag, mystisk og skarpt.
Arthur Friedland är en misslyckad författare som aldrig riktigt haft någon ordning på sitt liv. Allt förändras den dag han tar med sig sina tre söner till en eftermiddagsföreställning med en berömd hypnotisör. Arthur skryter med att vara immun mot hypnos, men hypnotisören bevisar motsatsen: Arthur får befallningen att förverkliga sina drömmar. Den natten tömmer han familjens bankkonto, tar sitt pass och försvinner, för att bli en framgångsrik författare.Efter sig lämnar Arthur de tre sönerna, vars öde blir att fuska sig fram i livet. Martin Friedland är en blyg, överviktig katolsk präst som saknar Gudstro. Hans halvbror Eric är finansrådgivare, men har trasslat in sig i illegala affärer och har skulder upp över öronen. Erics tvillingbror Iwan började som konstnär, men tappade tron på konsten och är nu förfalskare.Daniel Kehlmann har skrivit en berättelse full av svart humor om dessa tre bröder, som alla på sitt sätt är bedragare, hycklare, förfalskare. De har byggt upp bräckliga liv, som rasar omkring dem när katastrofen slår till. Det behövs bara ett ögonblicks ouppmärksamhet, en slump, ett felsteg, för att mardrömmen ska bli sann.Det kan inte vara lätt att skriva en humoristisk roman om Guds död. Ändå verkar den tyske författaren Daniel Kehlmann ha lyckats med just det. – The Guardian

The renowned designer's views on dressing and behaving well: Ivy League meets street, sartorial rules are made and broken in this must-have style guide for traditionalists and hipsters alike, filled with Mark McNairy's humorous, sometimes snarky, spot-on observations. With a Foreword by Nick Wooster. Supported by a powerful cult following of dedicated, fashion-forward men around the globe, designer Mark McNairy has risen from an under-the-radar favorite to a driving force in contemporary style. His collection of menswear and footwear, Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, is defined by a strong sense of sartorial history with an eye fixed on the future; a unique style that reflects the designer's vast knowledge of American and English tailoring tradition and complete dedication to craftsmanship and his insistence upon messing it up a bit. With McNairy, irreverence rules, and in this definitive book, his fresh take on traditional menswear is displayed in full force. At once a style guide that provides invaluable tips for today's men, it is also, like his clothing and accessories, a witty riff on the Ivy League look. Showcasing a mix of vintage fashion and film images that reference traditional menswear and style icons like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood; examples of streetwear and McNairy's clothing; and advertising and pop culture references, F--k Ivy and Everything Else is a visual treat from spread to spread, packed with solid sartorial advice and cheeky humor.
F*cked: Being Sexually Explorative and Self-Confident in a World That's Screwed

Are You a Dirty, Nasty Slut? Or a Sexually Repressed Nightmare?Regardless of your background or bedroom resume, someone or something has probably made you feel that way at some point. This was what Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson discovered when they created the wildly popular Guys We Fucked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast. What started as an outlet to interview--You guessed it --guys they'd fucked, quickly evolved into an enormous community of Fuckers around the world, and a place to share stories of kinks gone wild, trauma, assault, and the overall confusion among people who don't know what the fuck they are doing (in other words, everyone). F*CKED brings these raw, ridiculous, and serious conversations from the podcast to the page. It is a guide to love and sex for anyone -- female, male, trans, or undecided--who is fed up with double standards and the stigma surrounding sexual beings. It is for anyone who has ever felt afraid to be their authentic self. Corinne and Krystyna won't talk down to you or coddle you because you're better than that. They won't explain why he's just not that into you, because it doesn't fucking matter. This book will teach you how to deal with shit, brush your shoulder off, and move on. You'll also learn about: Why shame is completely made up and how we can stop giving into itSexual exploration and how it sometimes ends in a trip to the ERStuff we should stop doing: Snooping, nitpicking our bodies, and faking orgasmsAsking your sexual partner uncomfortable questionsMasturbation, threesomes, porn, sex toys, butt stuff, and much, much moreDespite what Rom-Coms and magazines tell you, you can handle sexual exploration without the assistance of a man, a glass of rose, and a Xanax. More importantly, you're fine all by yourself. This is the book Bridget Jones should've read instead of writing that shitty diary in the first place.
Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared.Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy.In this clear-eyed and unsparing book, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity. He has violated the Constitution in plain sight, assaulted democratic institutions, overwhelmed the country with disinformation, erected around himself a cult of personality, and governed according to his narcissism more than any discernable political philosophy.Though Walsh agrees with Trump that the Washington elite has hung working-class America out to dry, traveling down the road to despotism is no response. And now a person who places himself above the rule of law and accountability sits in the Oval Office—all that’s missing is a big, beautiful throne behind the Resolute Desk. In F*ck Silence, Walsh challenges his countrymen, especially his fellow conservatives, to acknowledge and oppose this unpatriotic and un-American behavior before we give away what made America great in the first place: our democracy.

F. D. Maurice (1805-72) was one of Victorian Britain's most controversial thinkers. Although he came from a Unitarian family and counted leading Unitarians as his friends, their influence on his work has never been seriously examined. The purpose of this new book is to look at his life and teaching in the light of Unitarianism. Maurice's faith had a distinctly Christological emphasis, but he continued to value his Unitarian heritage. His concern with the Fatherhood of God and the dignity of the human race owes much to his family background. Dr Young's study opens with a compact history of Unitarianism during the lives of F. D. Maurice and his father, a Unitarian minister. A series of biographical sketches draws on hitherto unpublished material to set Maurice's work in its historical context. The final chapters compare the central themes of his theology with the teaching of his Unitarian contemporaries.
F. Y. Edgeworth's 'Mathematical Psychics' and Further Papers on Political Economy
Oxford University Press
2003
sidottu
Francis Ysidro Edgeworth (1845-1926), scion of a leading Anglo-Irish family, was a classical scholar and mathematician who became the Drummond Professor of Political Economy at Oxford. He was the leading mathematical economist of his day and made major contributions to utilitarian ethics, probability theory, and statistics. Though little understood at that time, Edgeworth's work on contract theory has increasingly been recognized as vital to recent advances in game theory and the optimizing properties of markets under varying conditions. As editor of the Economic Journal, as a major contributor to Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy, and as an inveterate reviewer of books on all subjects and in five European languages, Edgeworth's range of expertise was extraordinary by modern standards. Three volumes of Papers Relating to Political Economy were published during Edgeworth's lifetime. This volume completes the project by including three important monographs -- Mathematical Psychics, New and Old Methods in Ethics, and On the Relation of Political Economy to War -- alongside all the articles and reviews that were not included in the first three volumes. In addition to a selection of Edgeworth's contributions to the Palgrave Dictionary, this volume also contains a complete bibliography of Edgeworth's writings compiled by Alberto Baccini. It is prefaced by assessments of Edgeworth's life and works written by the editor, Peter Newman, the leading authority on the subject.
