Vi, de druknede
Marstal, en flække på en ø i Østersøen, et fjernt sted i en lille nation. I 1800-tallet bliver Marstal hjemsted for nye generationer af mænd, der drevet af udlængsel sætter sig for at krydse verdenshavene. Det er mænd, der lever i et evigt opgør: med havet, med hinanden og med de kvinder, de elsker, men først og fremmest med deres egne mørke sider. Havet kræver sin pris af mænd som den fandenivoldske Laurids, der efter et tabt søslag aldrig bliver den samme igen. Og sønnen Albert, der på Stillehavet leder efter sin forsvundne far, men i stedet kommer hjem med et skrumpehoved. Og Knud Erik, som med hovedet fuldt af Alberts skrøner bliver stillet over for et moralsk umuligt valg i Anden Verdenskrig. Også familierne bliver havets ofre; de fædreløse børn, de druknedes enker - og Klara, Marstals dødsengel. Fra Newfoundlands klippekyster til Samoas plantager, fra Tasmaniens lyssky barer til det nordlige Ruslands ødemark er Vi, de druknede en episk beretning om fire generationer af mænd
We, The Drowned
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. We, The Drowned is an epic novel about generations of men who go to sea and the women and children they leave behind. Filled with adventure, cannibals, shrunken heads, prophetic dreams, forbidden passions, cowards, heroes, tragedies, love, and survival, this book takes its place among the greatest seafaring literature. We, the Drowned is the story of the port town of Marstal, Denmark, whose inhabitants sailed the world from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the Second World War. The novel tells of ships wrecked and blown up in wars, of places of terror and violence that continue to lure each generation. The result is a brilliant seafaring novel, a gripping saga encompassing industrial growth, the years of expansion and exploration, the crucible of the first half of the twentieth century, and most of all, the sea. 'We, the Drowned sets sail beyond the narrow channels of the seafaring genre and approaches Tolstoy in its evocation of war's confusion, its

Berättelsen Om Hilma - Och Hennes Släktingar På Österlen
En av de första dagarna i april år 1900 väntar föräldralösa Hilma, nyss fyllda sju, med en klump i magen. Hon står i gruset på Gärsnäs järnvägsstation på Österlen. Först tvingades hon lämna Gårdlösa och Tjustorp och sen Östra Herrestad. Nu kramar hon handtaget på sin lilla väska och väntar tillsammans med morbror Nils på att tåget ska komma. De ska åka till hennes nya fosterföräldrar på Brantevik. "Berättelsen om Hilma" är en personlig skildring av en hårt arbetande kvinna och en älskad mormor skriven av ett barnbarn. 25 korta avsnitt med många bilder berättar om Hilmas liv i både glädje och sorg: Ömma kärleksbrev och dansglädje, en make som piskar barnen med livrem och tio månader i fängelse för aborthjälp till döttrarna. Boken är också en berättelse om Österlen och Malmö i en annan tid. För att sätta in Hilmas liv i ett sammanhang skildrar några avsnitt hennes äldre släktingar. Andra avsnitt berättar om allmogens vardagsliv och seder på Österlen, det uppslitande skiftet av jorden som inleddes av friherre Rutger Macklean, upproren i Skåne under 1800-talet och fattigdomen i Malmö.

Pusher Street
Solen er netop stået op, da en gruppe kvinder en fredag i maj 1989 smider pusherne væk fra Prærien og lukker Christianias hovedindgang. Hashhandlerne bliver forvist til en strækning i Sydområdet afgrænset af to gule streger. Aktionen og stregerne forvandler de 100 meter brosten til Pusher Street – landets mest berygtede adresse. En lovløs gade med åbenlys hashhandel midt i København. Et uregerligt stykke danmarkshistorie i skarp kontrast til det omgivende, gennemregulerede velfærdssamfund. Pusher Street – en fortælling er den dokumentariske beretning om den verdensberømte hashgade. Fra 1970'ernes sociale eksperiment til forråelsen med rockernes indtog i 1980'erne over de kriminelle grupperingers professionalisering og frem til i dag, hvor en epoke ser ud til at være slut. For første gang fortælles historien gennem de mennesker, der befolker, arbejder og opererer i og omkring gaden. Hippier, hashhandlere, klippere, løbere, smuglere, grossister, politibetjente, turister, unge, gamle,
