Story
In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her 60s, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she’s unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation.

Story
Flights, a novel about travel in the 21st century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion and migration. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

Story
In Colm Tóibín's masterful new novel, we are reunited with Eilis Lacey, the heroine of Brooklyn, twenty years on, in the 1970s, living with her husband, Tony Fiorello, and her children in a house in Long Island, rather too close to her Fiorello in-laws. A shocking piece of news propels Eilis back to Ireland, to a world she thought she had long left behind and to ways of living, and loving, she thought she had lost.

Story
1913, Niederschlesien. Am Fuße der Berge steht ein Sanatorium für Lungenkrankheiten. Mieczysław, Student aus Lemberg, hofft, dass eine neuartige Behandlung seine Schwindsucht heilen wird. Wie auf Thomas Manns »Zauberberg« sprechen die versammelten Kranken aus ganz Europa unermüdlich miteinander – mit Vorliebe bei einem Gläschen Likör. Ob es Krieg geben werde in Europa, welche Staatsform die beste sei? Und darüber, dass die Frau des Pensionswirts gerade Selbstmord begangen hat.

Story
Una novela única, ligera y honda a la vez, que indaga en las posibilidades del género para hablar sobre el cuerpo, el mundo y las estrategias siempre insuficientes con que intentamos cartografiarlos. Al principio de Los errantes, la narradora esboza un autorretrato que es también una poética: "A todas luces yo carecía de ese gen que hace que en cuanto se detiene uno en un lugar por un tiempo más o menos largo, enseguida eche raíces. (...) Mi energía es generada por el movimiento.

Story
It's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro 'Prieto' Acevedo, are bold-faced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying, Latinx neighbourhood in Brooklyn, while Olga is the tony wedding planner for Manhattan's power brokers. Despite their alluring public lives, behind closed doors things are far less rosy. Sure, Olga can orchestrate the love stories of the one per cent, but she can't seem to find her own...until she meets Matteo, who forces her to confront the effects of long-held family secrets.

Story
You do not know me yet. My son Thomas, who is publishing this book, tells me, it is customary at this place in a novel to give the reader a little taste of the story that is held within these pages. As your storyteller, I am to convey that this tale is set in Jamaica during the last turbulent years of slavery and the early years of freedom that followed. July is a slave girl who lives upon a sugar plantation named Amity and it is her life that is the subject of this tale.

Bound together by a single ancient text, the unforgettable characters of Cloud Cuckoo Land are dreamers and outsiders figuring out the world around them: 13-year-old Anna and Omeir, an orphaned seamstress and a cursed boy, on opposite sides of the formidable city walls during the 1453 siege of Constantinople; teenage idealist Seymour and octogenarian Zeno in an attack on a public library in present-day Idaho; and Konstance, decades from now, who turns to the oldest stories to guide her community in peril.

I en afsides del af Polen nær den tjekkiske grænse lever Janina en tidligere lærerinde og ingeniør. Hun har påtaget sig den opgave at holde opsyn med de lokale sommerhusejeres vintertomme huse. Men mest er hun optaget af at lægge horoskoper oversætte Blake og at holde skarpt øje med den vilde omgivende naturs dyreliv.

Im Sommer tummeln sich wohlhabende Städter auf dem Hochplateau an der polnisch-tschechischen Grenze. Im Winter hütet die ehemalige Englischlehrerin Janina Duszejko deren Häuser und widmet sich der Astrologie und der Lyrik von William Blake. Man hält die ältere Dame für verschroben, wenn nicht gar für verrückt, auch weil sie die Gesellschaft von Tieren der von Menschen vorzieht. Dann gibt es einen Toten. Und es bleibt nicht bei einer Leiche .Janina ermittelt auf eigene Faust und scheint der Polizei immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein.

Story
"Rejsende" er en mosaik af fortællinger fra nær og fjern, nutid og fortid. En roman om at flytte sig og skifte opholdssted eller søge nye veje. Om at emigrere over de syv have, lægge sprog og religion bag sig eller bare forsvinde. En rejse rundt i verden og samtidig en rejse ind i kroppen. Romanens mange små historier griber på uforudsigelig vis ind i hinanden og lader hele tiden læseren møde nye, fascinerende sammenhænge - og en mangfoldighed af mennesker.

Story
Dagens hus nattens hus er en mangetydig og farverig roman om mennesker og menneskeskæbner i grænselandet mellem Polen og Tjekkiet. En magisk fortalt lag-på-lag fortælling hvor personer og historier ligesom lægges oven over hinanden. Med jævne mellemrum møder man f.eks. en middelalderlig kvindelig helgen ved navn Kummernis der som ung fik Kristus ansigt for at undslippe et uønsket ægteskab. En anden genkommende figur er den transseksuelle munk Paschalis som er den der skriver Kummernis historie.

Story
"Bizarre fortællinger" er ti uforudsigelige historier, som kombinerer urovækkende surrealisme med poetisk skønhed. En stavefejl på et henkogningsglas for fatale konsekvenser, i 1600-tallets Polen vækker fundet af mosdækkede plantefolk afsky og fascination, og blandt kinesiske bjergtempler søger en europæisk mand sandheden om sit transplanterede hjerte. Hver af historierne er som et kikhul ind til en virkelighed lige bag vores, hvad enten de foregår i genkendelige rammer eller på steder, som ikke figurer på noget landkort.
