Berenice, E-bok
First published in 1907, ‘Berenice’ by E. Phillips Oppenheim tells the tale of the lonely gentleman Matravers. A man of high tastes with very definite views, he writes reviews for the London papers. After a particularly savage review of a new play, he realises that the lead is played by a beautiful young woman named Berenice – the same woman with whom he has been exchanging looks in the park. The pair become close, but will Berenice’s secretive past catch up with the couple?E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946) was a hugely prolific and highly popular British author of novels and short stories. Born in Tottenham, London, Oppenheim left school as a teenager and worked for his leather-merchant father for 20 years prior to launching his literary career. Oppenheim published five novels under the pseudonym ‘Anthony Partridge’ before establishing his reputation as a writer under his own name. An internationally successful author, Oppenheim’s stories revolved mainly around glamourous characters, luxurious settings, and themes of espionage, suspense, and crime. He is widely regarded as one of the earliest pioneers of the thriller and spy-fiction genre as it is recognised today. Oppenheim’s incredible literary success meant that his own life soon began to mirror that of his opulent characters. He held lavish, Gatsby-style parties at his French Villa and was rumoured to have had frequent love affairs aboard his luxury yacht. Oppenheim’s success earned him the cover of Time magazine in 1927. Some of his most well-known novels include ‘The Great Impersonation’, ‘The Long Arm of Mannister’ and ‘The Moving Finger’.

Romanen Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr från 1838 mötte ingen större uppskattning; det var i novellerna som hans sällsamma senromantiska stil verkligen kom till sin rätt. Han avled i Baltimore år 1849.
Berenice, E-bok
Time and again called one of Poe’s most brutal horror short stories, “Berenice” employs themes similar to Poe’s previous works: death of a beautiful woman, premature burial, and mental disorder. Though some autobiographical elements can be felt, the story still remains one of horror and obsession. The dark and brooding atmosphere, together with the almost-maniacal obsession of the main character with his cousin, creates a story that is definitely not for the faint-hearted!Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include “The Raven” (1945), "The Black Cat” (1943), and “The Gold-Bug” (1843).

Freiheit
For decades, the climber and extreme mountaineer Thomas Huber has been teetering on the edge, always at the limit. He recorded great success in first ascents and spectacular climbing tours that no one had dared to do before. He has suffered defeats and has survived serious accidents and a kidney tumor -- but through every challenge and failure, he has had the strength to always get back up. In his autobiography, Huber talks about his childhood at the foot of the Alps, about the power of the first step, about passion, courage, and doubt. This book is both the story of one of the most famous mountaineers of our time and a hymn to freedom.
