''Mesmerising... the work of a writer possessed of a rare power and vision'' Daily Telegraph One evening, Gillis - a young Scottish minister who technically doesn''t believe in god - falls into a hole left by a recently dug up elm tree and discovers an ancient disembodied hand in the soil. He''s about to rebury it when the hand... beckons to him. He spirits it back to his manse and gives it pen and paper, whereupon it begins to doodle scratchy and anarchic visions. Somewhere, in the hand''s deep history, there lies a story of the Scottish reformation, of art and violence, and of its owner long since dead. But for Gillis, there lies only opportunity: to reinvent himself as a prophet, proclaim the hand a miracle and use it for reasons both sacred and profane... to impress his ex-girlfriend, and to lead himself and his country out of inertia and into a dynamic, glorious future.

How to Be Normal - Guy Browning - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Normal people are extremely unusual. Think of all the people you know and ask yourself how many are normal. None of them! In fact you''re probably the most normal of the lot and, let''s face it, even you''re not that normal.

Happily, this brilliantly funny book shows everyone exactly how to be uniquely normally normal. Is it normal to: ... hold the banister with both hands? ... find the green man at crossings mildly attractive? ... drive a shopping trolley on the right? ... be afraid of aggressive hand dryers? ... wonder what coconut milk is actually for? Find out the answers to these and a million other perfectly normal questions in another beautifully funny, surprisingly wise and consistently heart-warming book from the best-selling Guy Browning.

Competition between the great powers is back on the agenda and governments around the world are turning to secret statecraft and the hidden hand to navigate these uncertain waters. From poisonings to electoral interference, subversion to cyber sabotage, states increasingly operate in the shadows, while social media has created new avenues for disinformation on a mass scale.This is covert action: perhaps the most sensitive - and controversial - of all state activity.

Beneath the World, a Sea - Chris (author) Beckett - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''A disturbing descent into a surreal world, written with a deft hand.'' Adrian Tchaikovsky, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2016 Deep in an unnamed, unknown rainforest, Ben Ronson, a British police officer, investigates a spate of killings of a local, vaguely humanoid species. With long limbs and black button eyes, the Duendes are strange and silent creatures that have a deep psychic effect on people, unleashing the subconscious and exposing their innermost thoughts and fears. Ben rapidly becomes fascinated by the Duendes, but as his inquiry unfolds so too does he. Beneath the World, A Sea is a tour de force of modern fiction - a deeply searching and unsettling novel about the human subconscious, and all that lies beneath. ''Beckett is superb at undercutting reader assumptions with a casual line of dialogue or acute psychological observation: the book reads like Conrad''s Heart of Darkness reimagined by JG Ballard.''
