It’s been two years since Rose—a first-generation Middle Eastern American, functional trainwreck, and reporter for online journal The Shred—wrote the investigative article that exposed Poppy as a socialite grifter. Normally, one of her articles going viral would be cause for celebration, but the highly publicized trial that followed turned Poppy into the internet’s favorite celebrity. And Rose has been reeling from the aftermath ever since. Although Poppy served her time for defrauding some of the richest, most powerful men in the world, Rose knows this is only the tip of the iceberg for Poppy’s crimes. She just can’t prove it yet… At least not without the help of a devilishly handsome FBI agent gone rogue. As Poppy’s star rises as an influencer and pop-culture icon, Rose quickly descends

Iran
Both revolutionary and reactionary, the Islamic Republic of Iran has long been a conundrum for Western observers. A theocracy that aspires to a popular mandate; an anti-colonial state with imperial pretensions of its own: modern Iran is in many ways a reflection of its struggle to reconcile its traditions with the challenges of modernity. In this book, Ali Ansari takes readers on a journey through Iran’s turbulent history. Beginning with the country’s fall from grace as a Great Power in the nineteenth century, he explores its repeated attempts to modernize in a series of revolutionary movements from the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 to the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the civil unrest that is breaking out today. In so doing, he reveals how the experience of history and Iran’s encounter with ‘modernity’ have come to define it – and set it on an authoritarian path in confrontation with the West and, often, its own people.

Ivan
Kristian og Ivan møder hinanden i Sandholmlejren en decemberdag i 2015. Ivan er flygtet fra sit hjemland på grund af sin deltagelse i Majdanrevolutionen. Kristian befinder sig i lejren under dække af at være en iransk forfatter på flugt. Det bliver starten på et stærkt, men umage venskab. Ivan er Mixed Martial Arts-kæmper, finansanalytiker og revolutionær, og efter en lang og udmattende kamp mod det danske og grønlandske asylsystem, som udløser en diplomatisk krise imellem de to lande, bliver han den første asylmodtager i Grønland. Undervejs hører vi om Ivans opvækst i Kyiv i årene efter Sovjetunionens sammenbrud, frihedskampen på Majdan og flugten til Grønland, inden han til sidst drager hjem for at kæmpe imod den russiske invasion af Ukraine i 2022. Ivan er en hyldest til et menneskes kompromisløse kamp for frihed. Det er fortællingen om det ultimative offer midt i en af de vigtigste perioder i Europas nyere historie, men også historien om som ven at skrive sig ud af
