Stieg Larsson My Friend by Kurdo Baksi Pdf

Stieg Larsson is best known—all over the world now—as the author of the Millennium trilogy, but during his career as a journalist he was a critical protagonist in the battle against racism and for democracy in Sweden and Europe, and one of the founders of the anti-fascist magazine Expo. Kurdo Baksi first met Larsson in 1992; it was the beginning of an intense friendship, and a fruitful but challenging work relationship. Now, six years after Larsson's death, Baksi has written about his close friend. This is a candid and rounded memoir in which Baksi answers the questions a multitude of Larsson's readers and admirers have already asked: about his upbringing; the recurring death threats from neo-Nazi groups; his insomnia; his prodigious capacity for work on causes about which he was passionate; his feminism—so evident in his novels—and his dogmatism. But Baksi also reveals concern about Stieg's well-being, and his uncompromising side, which sometimes got him into trouble. What was he like as a colleague? Who provided the inspiration for his now-immortal characters (Baksi is one of the few who appears as himself)? Who was Lisbeth Salander? Stieg Larsson, My Friendis an eloquent and troubling insight into the life of a man who has rapidly become one of the world's bestselling authors.

The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Robin S. Rosenberg,Shannon O'Neill Pdf

Lisbeth Salander, heroine of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, is one of the most compelling, complex characters of our time. Is she an avenging angel? A dangerous outlaw? What makes Salander tick, and why is our response to her—and to Larsson's Millennium trilogy—so strong? In The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 19 psychologists and psychiatrists attempt to do what even expert investigator Mikael Blomkvist could not: understand Lisbeth Salander. • What does Lisbeth's infamous dragon tattoo really say about her? • Why is Lisbeth so drawn to Mikael, and what would they both need to do to make a relationship work? • How do we explain men like Martin Vanger, Nils Bjurman, and Alexander Zalachenko? Is Lisbeth just as sexist and as psychopathic as they are? • What is it about Lisbeth that allows her to survive, even thrive, under extraordinary conditions? • How is Lisbeth like a Goth-punk Rorschach test? And what do we learn about ourselves from what we see in her?

The Expo Files by Stieg Larsson Pdf

Now almost exclusively known as the author of the bestselling Millennium Trilogy, as a professional journalist Stieg Larsson was an untiring crusader for democracy and equality. As a reporter and editor-in-chief on the journal Expo he researched the extreme right both in Sweden and at an international level. Collected here for the first time are essays and articles on right-wing extremism and racism, on violence against women and women’s rights, on homophobia and honour killings. His most important writings - perceptive, learned and committed texts - illustrate the breadth of his journalistic and political activities in connection with matters that were closest to his heart, and to which he devoted his life. Despite death threats and financial difficulties, Larsson never ceased to fight for and write about his most firmly held principles; it was his commitment to these which gave his bestselling novels their explosive force.

Shyness and Dignity by Dag Solstad Pdf

Nothing in Elias' measured life, in his whole career as a teacher of literature, in his marriage to the 'indescribably beautiful' Eva, foreshadowed the events of that apparently ordinary day. He makes sure he has his headache pills and leaves for work as he has done every morning for the past twenty-five years. He is only too familiar with his pupils' hostile attitude both to his lectures and to himself, but today he feels their impatience, their oafishness, more painfully than ever before and, after their ritually dismissive and bored response to his passionate lecture on Ibsen's The Wild Duck, he reaches a point of crisis. Elegant, pocket-sized paperbacks, VINTAGE Editions celebrate the audacity and ambition of the written word, transporting readers to wherever in the world literary innovation may be found.

The Simpsons and Philosophy by William Irwin,Mark T. Conard Pdf

This unconventional and lighthearted introduction to the ideas of the major Western philosophers examines The Simpsons — TV’s favorite animated family. The authors look beyond the jokes, the crudeness, the attacks on society — and see a clever display of irony, social criticism, and philosophical thought. The writers begin with an examination of the characters. Does Homer actually display Aristotle’s virtues of character? In what way does Bart exemplify American pragmatism? The book also examines the ethics and themes of the show, and concludes with discussions of how the series reflects the work of Aristotle, Marx, Camus, Sartre, and other thinkers.

Quicklet on Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Estelle Wagner Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK A journalist and investigator into right-wing Nazi organizations in Sweden, Steig Larsson had a stressful and dangerous career. To help him unwind after long days at the office, he wrote the Millennium Trilogy for fun in the evenings, cathartically turning events and facts from his life and work into a story of empowerment. Before his death, he stated that all of the details of the harrowing murders and situations in his books were facts from cases he had seen throughout the course of his work. He cut and pasted these facts and cases together to create Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist's story. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the first book of the Millennium Trilogy, for which worldwide sales are approaching 60 million, spent 128 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and 711 days on the Amazon top 100. Stieg Larsson was the first translated author in two decades to have a book reach number one on the New York Times Bestseller list. It has been translated into 37 languages. MEET THE AUTHOR Estelle Wagner grew up in Napa, California. She attended Sarah Lawrence College in New York where she graduated with concentrations in Latin American Political Studies and Dance. She currently lives with her husband in Buenos Aires, Argentina and enjoys traveling, dancing, and reading. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Harriet's disappearance in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo juxtaposes two eras of criminal investigation. In the first, Henrik Vanger's enormous library of files, photographs, interview statements, and police reports. In the second, Lisbeth Salander's slim laptop, the internet, and Milton Securities high-tech devices. Vanger hires Blomkvist to look at his dusty old files and photographs with fresh eyes and a new perspective, which is what Blomkvist intends to do. But he and Salander are only able to solve the crime using new technologies not available in the past, and ones that would never have occurred to Henrik Vanger or his fellow octogenarian, the police investigator. Working with the previous era's evidence is frustrating for Blomkvist. The photos show an incomplete story of the day, so he dives into the newspaper's photographic archives to examine every potentially helpful picture from the day Harriet disappeared. His best clue, the couple behind Harriet, has to be tracked down over hundreds of kilometers and days of investigation. In the end, the photo he finds is grainy and blurred, useless except for the color of the man's sweater. If Harriet had disappeared in present day times, all the stores would have had security cameras. The accident on the bridge would have been filmed by dozens of cellphone cameras. The visual evidence would have been overwhelming.

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield Pdf

A #1 New York Times bestseller, The Thirteenth Tale is part contemporary, part historical with mysterious threads about family secrets and the magic of books and storytelling weaving the two together. All children mythologize their birth . . . So begins the prologue of reclusive author Vida Winter's collection of stories, which are as famous for the mystery of the missing thirteenth tale as they are for the delight and enchantment of the twelve that do exist. The enigmatic Winter has spent six decades creating various outlandish histories for herself. Now old and ailing, she at last wants to tell the truth about her extraordinary past. She summons biographer Margaret Lea, a young woman who is struck by a very curious parallel between Winter's life and her own. As Vida exposes the history she meant to bury for good, Margaret is mesmerized. It is a tale of gothic strangeness, of a remote estate, feral children, a governess, a ghost, and a devastating fire. In this love letter to reading, Diane Setterfield will keep you guessing, make you wonder, move you to tears and laughter and, in the end, deposit you breathless yet satisfied back upon the shore of your everyday world.

Fall of Man in Wilmslow by David Lagercrantz Pdf

From the author of the #1 bestseller The Girl in the Spider's Web, an electrifying thriller that begins with Alan Turing's suicide and then opens out to take in a young detective's awakening to painful secrets about his own life--and the life of his country. It's 1954. Several English nationals have defected to the USSR, while a witch hunt for homosexuals rages across Britain. In these circumstances, no one is surprised when a mathematician by the name of Alan Turing is found dead in his home: it is widely assumed that he committed suicide, unable to cope with the humiliation of a criminal conviction for homosexuality. But young Detective Sergeant Leonard Corell, who had always dreamt of a career in higher mathematics, suspects greater forces are involved. In the face of opposition from his superiors, he begins to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that lead him to one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war: the Bletchley Park operation to crack the Nazis' Enigma code. But he is also about to be rocked by two startling developments in his own life, one of which will find him being pursued as a threat to national security...
