From the bestselling novel series by Steig Larson come these English translations of the phenomenal French comics adaptations!
Facing prison time for slander, discredited journalist Mikel Blompkvist is hired by a reclusive industrialist to investigate a unresolved family disappearance. Aided by the mysterious computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, the two soon discover a brutal trail of murder, deception and dark secrets leading right up to the present day.
Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge--against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.
Anderkant omdraai is 'n versameling van Jan van Tonder se rubrieke
wat in Rapport Tydskrif verskyn het. Kort-kortverhale, essays,
sketse en anekdotes wissel mekaar af en bied 'n vermaaklike
leeservaring. Die leser van die rubrieke kan verwag om te lag en om
geroer te word. Van Tonder skryf oortuigend oor die nostalgie van
vroeer, en jukstaponeer dit met aktuele sake van vandag. Van Tonder
slaag weereens daarin om lewenswaarhede op 'n ongeforseerde en
verrassende vars manier oor te dra.
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND THE PULITZER PRIZE.
The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner of Irish descent, sixteen-year-old Scarlett O’Hara soon realizes that young men can’t resist her charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother’s ladylike ways. Her romantic intrigues lead her to an early marriage, but when the war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young widow, Scarlett’s life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled, together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival.
Both a coming-of-age tale and a historical epic, Gone with the Wind is regarded as one of the great American novels, and is perhaps one of the most popular stories in the Western canon. Famously inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and Clark Gable as the rakish but cynical Rhett Butler, it is Margaret Mitchell’s only published novel, and a living testament to the irrepressible resilience of the American spirit.
Part of Alma Classics Evergreens Series.
