Nobelprisvinderen Gabriel García Márquez hylder fortællingen om den store og altfortærende kærlighed, men fremviser stadig den trussel, som tiden og hverdagen udgør mod den. Kærlighed i koleraens tid (1985) er historien om en kærlighed, der kunne vente 53 år, 7 måneder og 11 dage. Så langt tilbage ligger koleraens tid, hvor Florentino begyndte at elske Fermina, der dog giftede sig med en anden. Men han dør ... endelig. Da doktor Juvenal Urbino pinsedag falder død ned af en stige, under et forsøg på at fange sin undslupne papegøje, står en anden mand parat til at dele bord og seng med enken, Fermina Daza. Florentino Ariza har elsket hende lidenskabeligt – om end langt fra trofast – gennem hele livet. I deres ungdom forsmåede hun ham til fordel for doktoren. Det var på den tid, da koleraen hærgede. Og symptomerne på kærlighed og kolera er i alt væsentligt de samme. Bogen udkommer som en del af Rosinantes klassikerserie. »En fabelagtig fejring af de mange former for kærlighed, der eksisterer mellem mænd og kvinder.« – The Times »Genistreg af en bog« – Information

Kvinders onani har i mange år været underbelyst, men nu indtager den scenen med oprejst pande og spredte ben: I Håndbogen fortæller 18 kvinder åbent og detaljeret om, hvordan de har sex med sig selv.  Kvinderne er mellem 18 og 83 år, nogle onanerer flere gange om ugen, andre blot en sjælden gang imellem, mange bruger onani som et dejligt afbræk fra hverdagen, og en onanerede sig til en orgasme, mens hun fødte. Fælles for dem er, at de ærligt og undersøgende deler ud af de vildeste oplevelser, de store ekstaser samt en lang række konkrete tips og tricks til at opnå endnu mere nydelse.  Håndbogen er en samling rørende og sjove portrætter, der indgående beskriver, hvordan hver kvinde har sin helt egen metode og sit helt eget forhold til onani. Den inspirerer samtidig til at gå på opdagelse i kroppens muligheder ved at guide til, hvordan du for eksempel kan bruge dit åndedræt, vælge den rigtige glidecreme og udforske dine egne orgasmer.

A riveting account of how a popularly elected leader has steered the world's largest democracy toward authoritarianism and intoleranceOver the past two decades, thanks to Narendra Modi, Hindu nationalism has been coupled with a form of national-populism that has ensured its success at the polls, first in Gujarat and then in India at large. Modi managed to seduce a substantial number of citizens by promising them development and polarizing the electorate along ethno-religious lines. Both facets of this national-populism found expression in a highly personalized political style as Modi related directly to the voters through all kinds of channels of communication in order to saturate the public space.Drawing on original interviews conducted across India, Christophe Jaffrelot shows how Modi's government has moved India toward a new form of democracy, an ethnic democracy that equates the majoritarian community with the nation and relegates Muslims and Christians to second-class citizens who are harassed by vigilante groups. He discusses how the promotion of Hindu nationalism has resulted in attacks against secularists, intellectuals, universities, and NGOs. Jaffrelot explains how the political system of India has acquired authoritarian features for other reasons, too. Eager to govern not only in New Delhi, but also in the states, the government has centralized power at the expense of federalism and undermined institutions that were part of the checks and balances, including India's Supreme Court.Modi's India is a sobering account of how a once-vibrant democracy can go wrong when a government backed by popular consent suppresses dissent while growing increasingly intolerant of ethnic and religious minorities.

Som et ellers moderne, kritisk tænkende og oplyst menneske i velfærdsdanmark tvang sønnens død Esben Kjær til at fjerne sig fra forestillingen om at være “Gud i eget liv” og overgive sig til, at det er Gud, der er Gud. Fjerne sig fra troen som en intellektuel øvelse og overgive sig til en tro, der kan bære og støtte – og til en gud, der er stærk nok til jobbet. Flytte troen ud af hovedet og ned i hjertet. Men hvad kan man tro på oven på en så stor tragedie?Tvivlen er en konstant følgesvend, og det er et stadigt arbejde at styrke og udforske troen. For hvad er en tro værd, hvis den ikke kan holde gennem livets ulykker, mørke og nedture?Hvor meget er Gud værd, hvis man alligevel selv sidder alene tilbage med Sorteper?Med blik for tilværelsens mysterium og guddommelighed var Esben Kjær gennem ungdommen interesseret i forskellige spirituelle forståelser af verden – men de pegede alle på mennesket som verdens centrum. Senere i livet nærmede han sig kristendommen, og han blev optaget af Gud og af troens væsen og af sin egen utilstrækkelighed.Esben Kjær, forfatter og journalist m.v., var i mange år en kendt radiostemme i Bagklog på P1 og har været en markant stemme i sorgdebatten, siden han mistede sin syvårige søn Sebastian.
