Or will she simply sit back and watch as her husband's ruthless legal team continues to take everything from her?

Irländaren WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS (1865–1939) är en av förra seklets mest betydande poeter. Han mottog Nobelpriset i litteratur 1923, men det är egentligen inte förrän på senare år som ett större urval av hans poesi tolkats till svenska. Här presenteras han för första gången i helfigur i en mycket egensinnig och djupt personlig bok om hans originalitet, hans liv och hans dikt.Carl-Johan Malmberg har läst och satt värde på Yeats verk under hela sitt vuxna liv. På liknande sätt som i Stjärnan i foten, Malmbergs stora bok om William Blake, skildras här de många olika perioderna och facetterna av författarens liv: symbolisten, dekadenten, nationalisten, modernisten, den ockulta systemskaparen, självbekännaren, provokatören, den politiskt inkorrekte – liksom den Yeats som förhåller sig till en egen kanon av historiens och sagans betydelsefulla gestalter, texter och bilder. Ett särskilt kapitel ägnas åt Stockholmsbesöket 1923, året han fick Nobelpriset och en brytpunkt både i livet och författarskapet.Som en röd tråd hos Yeats finns hans livslånga kärlek till den nationalistiska frihetskämpen Maud Gonne. Det är också en röd tråd i den här boken.Yeats inspirerades av storheter som Blake, Oscar Wilde och Ezra Pound, samtidigt som han hade ett antagonistiskt förhållande till dessa. Boken består av en serie ingående läsningar av viktiga nyckeltexter i Yeats poesi, dramatik och prosa. Utifrån dem skildrar Malmberg hans liv och tid, vilket gör framställningen till en utmärkt introduktion såväl till honom som till hans engelska och irländska kontexter, parallellt med att den utgör en fördjupad diskussion av de enskilda verken.Boken är rikt illustrerad i färg.
William traces the ordeal of an American army veteran whose unusual abilities have attracted the interest of military authorities. We follow William as he flees a covert US Army experimental facility and, in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, is hunted by shadowy operatives. Along the way, as he fights off his pursuers and his own demons, he seeks solace in his martial arts practice, particularly Aikido, and falls into a reluctant friendship with a young woman.
Psychological horror meets cyber noir in this delicious one-sitting read--a haunted house story in which the haunting is by AI. Henry is a brilliant engineer who, after untold hours spent in his home lab, has achieved the breakthrough of his career--he's created an artificially intelligent consciousness.

When Lily's coworkers show up, wanting to finally meet Henry and see the new house--the smartest of smart homes--Henry decides to introduce them to William, and things go from strange to much worse. Soon Henry and Lily discover the security upgrades intended to keep danger out of the house are even better at locking it in.

A 1919 novel about the harowing effect of the First World War on William, a socialist clerk, and Griselda, a suffragette.
1066 is the most famous date in English history. On 14 October, on Senlac Hill near Hastings, a battle was fought that would change the face of England forever. Over the next twenty years, Norman culture was imposed on England, and English politics and society were radically reshaped. But how much is really known about William 'the Conqueror', the Norman duke who led his men to victory on that autumn Saturday in what was to be the last successful invasion of England? Mark Hagger here takes a fresh look at William - his life and leadership. As king, he spent much of his reign threatened by rebellion and invasion. In response, he ordered castles and strongholds to be built across the land - a symbol of the force with which he defended his realm and which, along with Domesday Book, England's first public record, attest to a powerful legacy. This book provides a rounded portrait of one of England's greatest rulers.
