Mikä erottaa nerouden hulluudesta, pelastuksen tuhosta, kauheuden kauneudesta? Häikäisevä romaani lipuu ennakkoluulottomasti faktan ja fiktion välillä valottaen 1900-luvun tieteentekijöiden monisyisiä suhteita niin toisiinsa kuin heitä ympäröivään maailmaan. "Benjamín Labatut nousee maailmankirjallisuuden kärkijoukkoon." -KALEVA "Benjamín Labatutin romaani käsittelee aivot nyrjäyttäviä asioita, mutta ei vaadi lukijalta teoreettisen fysiikan tietoja." -KALEVA PREMIUM "Se on järkyttävä kirja. Se on hämmentävä kirja. Hienosti, hienosti kirjoitettu kokoelma tarinoita joissa sekoittuu fakta ja fiktio niin, että lukijan on vaikea tietää mikä täsmälleen on totta ja mikä ei." -KRISTA KOSONEN "Benjamín Labatutin romaani jää kutittelemaan mieleen, sen synkkiin sopukoihin. Se on monitulkintainen teos, joka on taiten faktojensa ympärille kasattu kaunokirjallinen esitys tieteestä ja sen tekemisestä – aiheesta, joka ei hevin tyhjene. Kannattaa lukea!" -KIRJAVINKIT ”Synkän häikäisevä.” -THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Erwin Schrödinger, Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein... Booker-ehdokkaaksi noussut teksti käy poikkeuksellisella tavallaan läpi merkittäviä tiedemiehiä, joiden läpimurrot ovat ruokkineet heidän tiedonjanoaan entisestään – ja aiheuttaneet niin piinallisia moraalisia kysymyksiä kuin suunnatonta inhimillistä kärsimystä. Maailman kauhea vihreys on fiktiivinen tutkielma ihmisyyden perustavanlaatuisimmista kysymyksistä W. G. Sebaldin hengessä: Missä menevät tietomme rajat? Mikä erottaa nerouden hulluudesta, pelastuksen tuhosta, kauheuden kauneudesta? Benjamín Labatut syntyi 1980 Rotterdamissa, varttui Haagissa, Buenos Airesissa ja Limassa ja asuu nykyään Santiagossa Chilessä. 25-vuotiaana hän ei ollut kirjoittanut vielä sanaakaan proosaa ja arveli olevansa jo liian vanha kirjailijaksi, kunnes tapasi vanhan chileläisen runoilijan. Sen jälkeen hän on kirjoittanut useita kiitettyjä teoksia, joista Maailman kauhea vihreys on hänen kolmas romaaninsa. Se oli ehdolla esimerkiksi vuoden 2021 kansainvälisen Booker-palkinnon saajaksi.

Nerokkaan trilogian kylmäävä päätösosa. Kristófin poikkeuksellisen voimakkaan romaanikokonaisuuden päätösosa tutkii minuuden rajoja ja ideologioiden tuhoisaa vaikutusta. Rajat ovat romahtaneet ja totalitarismin aika on päättynyt. Eri puolilla rajaa eläneet kaksoset kohtaavat jälleen toisensa ja muistonsa. Valheet ja todellisuus osoittautuvat häilyviksi, sillä kaksoset sekä salailivat että liioittelivat kertoessaan lapsuutensa tapahtumista. Vuosikymmenien ajan selviytyminen on edellyttänyt valehtelua, mutta uudelleen löydetty vapaus ei merkitse totuuden löytymistä. Entä jos heidän koko olemassaolonsa onkin valhetta? ”Tinkimätön ja mieleenpainuva” THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE ”Oudon kiehtovaa luettavaa” THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Ágota Kristóf (1935–2011) syntyi Unkarissa ja pakeni kansannousun aikaan 1956 Sveitsiin. Siellä hän työskenteli tehtaassa ja oppi vähitellen uuden kotimaansa kielen. Hänen ensimmäinen romaaninsa Iso vihko (suom. 1988) sai kansainvälistä tunnustusta, ja se käännettiin yli 30 kielelle. Hän kirjoitti myös näytelmiä ja muita romaaneja.

Ágota Kristófin mestarillisen trilogian toinen osa kyseenalaistaa muistin ja inhimillisyyden rajat. Modernin klassikon aseman saavuttanut romaanikokonaisuus tutkii armottomalla tarkkuudella muistin valheellisuutta sodan ja ideologioiden jakamassa rikkinäisessä maailmassa. Toinen kaksosista on ylittänyt sodan piirtämän rajan, toinen jäänyt aloilleen. Totalitaarisessa maassa asuva Lucas yrittää elää kuin hyvä ihminen, mutta todellisuus vääristyy ympärillä. Oliko heitä joskus kaksi, oliko Lucasin lisäksi Claus, vai oliko kaikki valhetta? Todiste saa lukijan kyseenalaistamaan kaiken, minkä kaksoset ovat elämästään kertoneet. ”On romaaneja, jotka muuttavat tapaa katsoa maailmaa, jotka iskevät poikkeuksellisella voimalla. Ágota Kristófin kirjat ovat sellaisia, täynnä täysin omanlaistaan raakaa lumousta.” Expressen Ágota Kristóf (1935–2011) syntyi Unkarissa ja pakeni kansannousun aikaan 1956 Sveitsiin. Siellä hän työskenteli tehtaassa ja oppi vähitellen uuden kotimaansa kielen.

In 1963 Stephen Hawking was given two years to live. Defying all the odds, he died in March 2018 at age seventy-six as the most celebrated scientist in the world. This carefully researched and updated biography and tribute gives a rich picture of Hawking's remarkable life - his childhood, the heart-rending beginning of his struggle with motor neurone disease, his ever-increasing international fame, and his long personal battle for survival in pursuit of a scientific understanding of the universe. From more recent years, Kitty Ferguson describes his inspiring leadership at the London Paralympic Games, the release of the film The Theory of Everything, his continuing work on black holes and the origin of the universe, the discovery of 'supertranslations', and the astounding 'Starshot' program. Here also are his intense concern for the future of the Earth and his use of his celebrity to fight for environmental and humanitarian causes, and, finally, a ground-breaking paper he was working on at the time of his death, in which he took issue with some of his own earlier theories. Throughout, Ferguson summarizes and explains the cutting-edge science in which Hawking was engaged and offers vivid first-hand descriptions of his funeral in Cambridge and the interment of his ashes in Westminster Abbey. This is an amazing and revealing tribute, assessing Hawking's legacy in and out of science.

The two of them have no relationship outside the office, where everything runs smoothly and uneventfully. Until one day, that is, when a young German woman called Agatha arrives and demands to see the doctor and he soon realizes that underneath her fragile exterior is a strong and fascinating woman. The doctor and Agatha embark upon a course of therapy together, a process that forces the doctor to confront his fear of true intimacy outside the clinic. But is it too late to reconsider your existence as a 71-year-old? 'A shrewd, skilful tale of loneliness, the search for meaning and a place in the world, and the problems of truly relating to another human being.' Independent

We've all heard of the Big Bang, and yet few of us truly know what it is. Renowned for making difficult ideas much less difficult than they might first appear, Simon Singh is our perfect guide to explaining why cosmologists believe that the Big Bang is an accurate description of the origin and evolution of the universe. This highly readable and entertaining book tells the story of the many brilliant, often eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eternal and unchanging cosmos. From such early Greek cosmologists as Anaximander to recent satellite measurements taken deep in space, Big Bang is a narrative full of anecdotes and personal histories. With characteristic clarity, Simon Singh tells the centuries-long story of mankind's attempt to understand how the universe came to be, a story which itself begins some 14 billion years ago (give or take a billion years). Simon Singh shows us that it is within the capability of all of us -- in his expert hands -- to understand the Big Bang: the fundamental theory in all of science, and a high point -- perhaps the high point -- of human achievement.
