The Man Who Watched the Trains Go By - Georges Simenon - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A brilliant new translation of one of Simenon''s best loved masterpieces. ''A certain furtive, almost shameful emotion ... disturbed him whenever he saw a train go by, a night train especially, its blinds drawn down on the mystery of its passengers'' Kees Popinga is a respectable Dutch citizen and family man. Then he discovers that his boss has bankrupted the shipping firm he works for - and something snaps. Kees used to watch the trains go by to exciting destinations. Now, on some dark impulse, he boards one at random, and begins a new life of recklessness and violence. This chilling portrayal of a man who breaks from society and goes on the run asks who we are, and what we are capable of. ''Classic Simenon ... extraordinary in its evocative power'' Independent ''What emerges is the bare human animal'' John Gray''Read him at your peril, avoid him at your loss'' Sunday Times

The Painter of Shanghai - Jennifer Cody Epstein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1913 an orphan girl boards a steamship bound for Wuhu in South East China. Left in the hands of her soft-hearted but opium-addicted uncle she is delivered to The Hall of Eternal Splendour which, with its painted faces and troubling cries in the night, seems destined to break her spirit. And yet the girl survives and one day hope appears in the unlikely form of a customs inspector, a modest man resistant to the charms of the corrupt world that surrounds him but not to the innocent girl who stands before him. From the crowded rooms of a small-town brothel, heavy with the smoke of opium pipes and the breath of drunken merchants, to the Bohemian hedonism of Paris and the 1930s studios of Shanghai, Jennifer Epstein’s first novel, based on a true story, is an exquisite evocation of a fascinating time and place, with a breathtaking heroine at its heart.

The Untouchables - Nick Webb - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A devastating new exposé from the bestselling authors of The Bankers and Wasters . In March 2011, the Irish people elected a new government. But how much had really changed? In The Untouchables , Shane Ross and Nick Webb shine a light into dark corners of official Ireland to show that the blame for running the country into the ground goes well beyond Fianna Fáil, and that a dismaying number of the people who should share the blame are still in situ: in the civil service, on the boards of the leading companies, and in the banks, law firms, and consultancies that carry so much influence in deciding who wins and who loses. They name names, trace connections, and show how the untouchables managed to do so much damage, how they got away with it, and how so many of them are still in positions of power and influence in Ireland.''Fascinating ... required reading for anyone interested in how crony capitalism and power work in practice in Ireland'' Irish Times '' The Untouchables is hard to put down. Read it and seethe.'' Irish Independent Shane Ross is an independent TD for Dublin South, and columnist in the Sunday Independent . Nick Webb is business editor of the Sunday Independent .

Fear of Description - Daniel Poppick - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Told in woozy, narrative prose poems, the award-winning chronicle of a group of friends stumbling their way into 21st-century adulthood ''Genius . . . Keatsian in density and bloom'' Brenda Shaughnessy ''Poppick represents a slice of his generation . . . he lets himself delight in verbal unpredictability, when figures of speech jump out, or sparkle and shine'' The New York Times Book Review These poems tell the story of a generation in crisis: at odds with its own ideals, precariously (or just un-) employed, and absolutely terrified of seeing itself in the planet''s future. Is our contemporary moment pure tragedy, or a dark joke? Can it be both? Ranging between elegiac lyrics and autobiographical accounts of a group of poets moving from Iowa to Brooklyn in the years before and after the 2016 election, Fear of Description reinvigorates the prose poem, exploring the slippery terrain between grief and friendship, artifice and technology, writing and ritual, hauntings and obsessions - searching for joy in art but instead finding it in pitch darkness. As the narrative cuts back and forth in time and circles around itself, the stories which begin to emerge in this remarkable book - of precarious employment, dead dogs speaking through Ouija boards and youthful brilliance cut short - explore at once the struggle to find one''s place in the world, and the fear of being trapped once there. ''Through Poppick''s memories we relive that brief window of youth when friendship is the magic audience that grounds us'' Jennifer Moxley

The Growth Map - Jim O'neill - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jim O''Neill, one of the most influential economists today, shares his insights on how and why he developed one of the most compelling economic concepts of our time in The Growth Map . ''O''Neill has redefined how investors and Western business leaders see the world. This book tells the unlikely story of how O''Neill developed this path-breaking idea . . . lively, powerful and highly accessible'' Gillian Tett, Financial Times Ten years ago, Jim O''Neill predicted that globalization would help Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRICs) - busy, ambitious countries full of raw materials - overtake the largest Western economies. With all four BRIC nations set to do just that, no other idea has proved as significant for the new century. But these changes have provoked business and political uncertainty and in The Growth Map O''Neill examines what is coming next. Can the BRICs sustain their exceptional growth? Which nations will come next? And what, for all of us, does the future hold? ''Goldman Sachs'' rock star'' Business Week ''Sharp, shrewd. Tells the big story of our time. The fundamental shift of economic power from the West'' Niall Ferguson ''O''Neill has changed how the world thinks about economic growth - and how the BRICs think about themselves'' Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman And Ceo, Goldman Sachs ''One of the most sought-after economic commentators on the planet'' Daily Telegraph Jim O''Neill is Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
