    av Ross Gay

    A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAs Heard on NPR's This American Life'The delights he extols here (music, laughter, generosity, poetry, lots of nature) are bulwarks against casual cruelties . . . contagious in their joy' New York TimesThe winner of the NBCC Award for Poetry offers up a spirited collection of short lyric essays, written daily over a tumultuous year, reminding us of the purpose and pleasure of praising, extolling, and celebrating ordinary wonders.Among Gay's funny, poetic, philosophical delights: a friend's unabashed use of air quotes, cradling a tomato seedling aboard an aeroplane, the silent nod of acknowledgement between the only two black people in a room. But Gay never dismisses the complexities, even the terrors, of living in America as a black man or the ecological and psychic violence of our consumer culture or the loss of those he loves. More than anything other subject, though, Gay celebrates the beauty of the natural world - his garden, the flowers peeking out of the sidewalk, the hypnotic movements of a praying mantis.The Book of Delights is about our shared bonds, and the rewards that come from a life closely observed. These remarkable pieces serve as a powerful and necessary reminder that we can, and should, stake out a space in our lives for delight.***'These charming, digressive "e;essayettes"e; surprise and challenge more than a reader might expect . . . experiences of "e;delight,"e; recorded daily for a year, vary widely but yield revealing patterns through insights about everything from nature and the body to race and masculinity.' New Yorker'Pure balm for your soul. Savor one at a time every morning, this summer, or wolf them all down en masse on a gorgeous sunny day.' Celeste Ng'A reminder of what the personal essay is best at: finding the profound in the mundane . . . His delight is infectious. It's hard to read Gay and not to be won over.' Seattle Times

  • - A Wargame of Napoleonic Gothic Horror
    av Joseph A. (Author) McCullough
    351

    As the wars of Napoleon ravage Europe, chaos and fear reign and the darkness that once clung to the shadows has been emboldened. Supernatural creatures - vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and worse take advantage of the havoc, striking out at isolated farms, villages, and even military units. Whether they are pursuing some master plan or simply revelling in their newfound freedom is unknown. Most people dismiss reports of these slaughters as the rantings of madmen or the lies of deserters, but a few know better. The Silver Bayonet is a skirmish wargame of gothic horror set during the Napoleonic Wars. Each player forms an elite band of monster hunters drawn from the ranks of one of the great powers. Riflemen, swordsmen, and engineers fight side-by-side with mystics, occultists, and even those few supernatural creatures that can be controlled or reasoned with enough to make common cause. The game can be played solo, co-operatively, or competitively, with players progressing through a series of interlinked adventures with their soldiers gaining experience and suffering grievous wounds, and their units triumphing. or falling in the face of the shadows. It is a game of action and adventure, where musket and sabre meet tooth and claw.

  • - Hvordan EU ødelægger frihed, folk og folkestyre —og hvad vi kan gøre ved det
    av Morten Messerschmidt
    377

    Folkestyret er under pres – både i Danmark og Europa. Men truslen kommer ikke fra populisme eller antiliberalisme, som mange siger. Truslen kommer fra dem, der hævder at være de sande demokrater, vogterne af den gode tone, konventionerne og ”den europæiske livsform” – nemlig fra de ”liberaldemokratiske” ideologer, som hverken er særlig demokratiske eller særlig liberale. Liberaldemokraterne frygter folkestyret. De vil binde den politiske magt gennem konventioner og jura. De vil lægge bånd på vælgerne og overlade magten til dommere, embedsmænd og eksperter. De siger på papiret ja til folkestyret - men helst uden folk. Derfor bygger liberaldemokratiet på glødende EU-begejstring og had til den nationalstat, som er rammen om al ægte demokrati. Farvel til folkestyret er Morten Messerschmidts analyse af folkestyrets udfordringer og et bud på en løsning, der tager magten tilbage til folket

We are the wolves, fighting for a better tomorrow for ourselves, our pack, and all the future wolves who will come after us.

Böcker om samhället

Ett samhälle är en gemenskap av individer och det förändras mycket genom historien. Samhället vi har levt i har haft många olika faser, vilket har gjort att vårt stora urval har varit en nödvändighet då vi vill ge alla en bok de tycker är spännande. Om du är intresserad av de konkreta samhällen som har funnits genom tiderna kan du hitta böcker om allt från det traditionella, det moderna och det senmoderna samhället till det humanistiska samhället.
Här kan du till exempel läsa om de sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella relationerna mellan befolkningen, eftersom det har varit stora fluktuationer över tiden. Om du till exempel är intresserad av Kväkarna, kan en bok som ”Kväkarnas människosyn” av Henning E. Sandström vara en spännande bok att läsa. En fascinerande berättelse om kväkarna i det förflutna, nuet och framtiden. Annars kanske du tycker att boken ”Society without God” av Phil Zuckerman är intressant? Boken behandlar många frågor om hur vårt samhälle kan fungera när Sverige tror mycket mindre på Gud än resten av världen. Vi har en bok för alla.

På Tales.se hittar du därför ett stort urval av svenska och utländska böcker, som ger en inblick i hur historien har påverkat vår värld. Vi har också böcker om den värld vi lever i idag och vilka svåra samhällen människor har varit med om tidigare och naturligtvis vilket inflytande det har haft på oss idag. Så skynda dig att utforska vårt historiska universum och lär dig mer om världens historia.
