In this powerful anthology, Sebastian Faulks, author of the international bestseller Birdsong, and Jörg Hensgen have put together some of the finest fictional writing about war in the 20th century. Whether reporting with sober clarity or raw despair, the assembled novelists each found a way to transcend the facts of death and metal, tanks and blood.Many of the writers are concerned with battle, but others dwell on moments of calm, love, and friendship. From revolutionary Russia to Republican Spain; from the trenches of the Western Front to the skies over Korea and the jungles of Vietnam, this is a book filled with heroism and horror, savagery and compassion, and lightning-flashes of anarchic humor. Included in this collection of war fiction, from the First World War to the Gulf War, are stories by Erich Maria Remarque, Pat Barker, Isaac Babel, Ernest Hemingway, Heinrich Böll, Norman Mail

Demolished, Destroyed, Imagined, Reborn Have you ever wished that you could have seen King Solomon's mighty Temple in Jerusalem or climbed to the top of the legendary Tower of Babel? What must it have been like to have paraded up and down the great glass galleries of the Crystal Palace in London in 1851? Why is the Euston Arch, demolished in 1961, still missed? What would buildings described in much loved books have been like if these had existed outside their author's imaginations? Imagine walking through the labyrinthine corridors of Mervyn Peake's mythical Gothic fortress Gormenghast, or visiting Toad Hall. And what of the current trend for reconstructing buildings which were destroyed in wartime or for political reasons?"Lost Buildings" is an invitation to visit buildings long vanished or those demolished within living history, some by dim politicians, others by war or "acts of God",
Babel
Blandt de ikke helt få sovjetforfattere, som har fået mulighed for at genindtræde i sovjetlitteraturen under det politiske tøbrud efter Stalins død i 1953, er Isaak Babel en af de betydeligste. Han døde i en straffearbejdslejr i 1941, kun 47 år gammel. Han var ikke særlig produktiv, og det lidt han skrev, omarbejdede han adskillige gange. Men det han har publiceret er – sammen med en del manuskripter, som er fundet efter hans død – nok til, at han i løbet af de seneste årtier har vundet ry som en af dette århundredes store prosaister. Hans hovedværk Rytterarmeen og en række store fortællinger fra Odessa er oversat til adskillige sprog. Type: Paperback
En ung kvinde har været forsvundet i over fire år. Hendes forældre har intet hørt fra hende i denne periode. De frygter derfor, at hun har været udsat for en forbrydelse. Men politiet tager ikke deres bekymring alvorligt. Derfor hyrer de en privatdetektiv til at finde ud af, hvad der er sket med deres datter. Det er Thomas Babels første job som privatdetektiv. Spørgsmålet er, om han er i stand til at løse sagen? Der er ikke mange spor at gå efter. Og han befinder sig stadig i en tilstand af dyb sorg efter den tragedie, som han oplevede tre år tidligere. Dette er en kriminalroman, som ikke kun har til formål at underholde dig. Bogen sætter også fokus på livets store spørgsmål: Hvad er meningen med livet? Er alt meningsløst? Eller findes der lys og håb? Type: Paperback
