Jacob & Esau
Jacob and Esau is a profound new account of two millennia of Jewish European history that, for the first time, integrates the cosmopolitan narrative of the Jewish diaspora with that of traditional Jews and Jewish culture. Malachi Haim Hacohen uses the biblical story of the rival twins, Jacob and Esau, and its subsequent retelling by Christians and Jews throughout the ages as a lens through which to illuminate changing Jewish-Christian relations and the opening and closing of opportunities for Jewish life in Europe. Jacob and Esau tells a new history of a people accustomed for over two-and-a-half millennia to forming relationships, real and imagined, with successive empires but eagerly adapting, in modernity, to the nation-state, and experimenting with both assimilation and Jewish nationalism. In rewriting this history via Jacob and Esau, the book charts two divergent but intersecting Jewish histories that together represent the plurality of Jewish European cultures.

Captain William Kidd and Others of The Buccaneers, Ljudbok
In this biography, John S. C. Abbott focuses on the infamous Scottish sailor turned pirate Captain William Kid. The book is completed by other buccaneer stories, buccaneers being a term designating privateers or sailors for hire, peculiar to the Caribbean Sea. Pirate life in the 18th century is little like it is commonly represented in movies and novels, and Abbott here helps the reader understand what it was really like, what it meant, and what repercussions the choice of a pirate life could have. John Stevens Cabot Abbott (1805-1877) was an American writer, pastor and historian from Maine. He was the brother of children’s book author Jacob Abbott. He wrote fiction and biographies, often with a strong focus on Christian ethics. He gained fame for his "The Mother at Home" and "History of Napoleon Bonaparte".

Jacobs Rum
Jacobs rum (1922) är Virginia Woolfs genombrottsroman. Med sin djärvt okonventionella berättarteknik bryter hon här med den engelska romantraditionen. Det är berättelsen om den unge Jacob Flanders utveckling från barn till ung man. »Jacob är alla och ingen. Han speglar världen omkring sig. (...) Själv blir han oftast en skugga, någon som skymtar förbi med långa kliv och fladdrande slips, med eller utan brev till mamma eller en oöppnad epistel från henne i kavajfickan, slarvigt hopknycklad.» Ur Heidi von Borns förord. »Jacobs rum är en häpnadsväckande läsning som lämnar mig hänförd.»LitteraturMagazinet »Jacobs rum är svår att gömma efter läsningen.(...) idén att skriva en roman vars huvudperson blir synlig endast via andras beskurna, hastiga och skeva glimtar av honom, är genial och än i dag verkningsfull.»Göteborgs-Posten
