Описание:
An intricately plotted and brilliantly conceived stand-alone sequel to the international bestseller The Swimmer that turns the hottest political topics of our times into a complex, resonant thriller in the vein of John LeCarre.
Yasmine Ajam has fled her past in the rough Stockholm borough Bergort, reinventing herself as a trendspotter in New York City. One day she receives a startling message: there are riots erupting on the streets of Stockholm and they appear to be connected with the disappearance of her brother, Fadi.
Following rumors that Fadi was radicalized and died fighting for ISIS in Syria, Yasmine returns to Stockholm to discover what really happened to her brother. There she becomes entangled in a dangerous web of allegiances and violence that stretches far beyond the gangs on her childhood streets.
Meanwhile, in London, Klara Walldeen has landed a job at a human rights research institute working on a report to predict the effects of privatizing police forces. When Klara travels to Stockholm to present her findings to European Union policymakers, her laptop is stolen and one of her colleagues is pushed in front of an oncoming subway train. As her path collides with Yasmine's, Klara begins to realize that she may unwittingly be contributing to the sinister agendas of powerful interests who will stop at nothing to attain their goals.
With The Believer, Joakim Zander delivers another "page-turning" (Entertainment Weekly) novel of suspense that is as sophisticated and timely as it is compelling.

Even though much of Europe eventually succumbed to the Nazis during World War II, many Europeans defiantly resisted occupation in every way possible. This captivating book provides a survey of these resistance movements during the period of Axis occupation and recounts the ways in which unarmed citizens undermined Nazi efforts at domination. A thorough description of the Axis conquest of Europe, the formation of the Special Operations Executive in Britain, and the Office of Strategic Services in the United States provides a backdrop for this turbulent time in history.
Chapters cover the resistance organizations, their leaders, and other key individuals behind their operations. The book details the movement's furtive tactics that included spreading information, providing the Allies with key intelligence, conducting industrial sabotage, destroying bridges and factories, and fighting behind the lines. Case studies of resistance operations in France, Norway, Holland, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, the Balkans, Greece, Italy, and within Nazi Germany itself show the scope and breadth of the resistance movement throughout the world.

Описание: Henrik Ibsen (1828-1905), Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) and August Strindberg (1849-1912), leaders and innovators of modern drama, create characters that cling pathologically to a single objective that blinds them to better options for health and happiness. Ibsen leads the way with A Doll House, Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder, in which the protagonists impose their will upon the world in order to make it conform to their personal visions. Invariably they fail at this endeavor and discover a new reality beyond their control. Almost in opposition to Ibsen, Chekhovian characters refuse to do anything, but instead dramatize their lives as if they were actors in a play (which they are!). In The Seagull, for example, Masha wears all black and declares, theatrically, in the opening scene, that she is in mourning—for her life! Strindberg, finally, synthesizes the intractable squabbles between men and women in plays such as The Dance of Death and The Ghost Sonata, and suggests that humanity can only transcend the brutality of existence in life beyond death. Together, the trajectories of dramatic characters in Ibsen, Chekhov and Strindberg provide readers with perspectives with which to direct their own actions in the real world of today.
