Endgame

'The Noughts & Crosses series are still my favourite books of all time and showed me just how amazing story-telling could be' STORMZY 'Malorie's Noughts & Crosses series is the first time I saw myself in a book . . . they were pacey, exciting, rich. What Malorie Blackman has always done so brilliantly is put the minority front and centre, both in society and politics.' CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS 'The most original book I've ever read' BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH 'Malorie Blackman is absolutely amazing ... [ Noughts & Crosses ] really spoke to me, especially as a woman of dual heritage.' ZAWE ASHTON _____ A message from someone on behalf of Dan Jeavons . . . There was just one problem with that – Dan was dead. He’d been murdered and I was on the hook for it. The first Nought Prime Minister, Tobey Durbridge, is about to go on trial for the murder of notorious ganglord, Dan Jeavons. Tobey insists he is being framed. There were ten seats at Dan's dinner party the night he was killed and each guest had their own reasons for wishing him dead. Sephy Hadley was one of the guests that night. Haunted by the idea that she didn't do enough to stop the death of her first love, Callum McGregor, Sephy will not sit quietly and wait for accusations to fall on her now. She has her children to protect. It's time that the truth is uncovered. Time for the endgame. The searing conclusion to Malorie Blackman's Noughts & Crosses series: one of the nation's best-loved series; a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.

"Endgame" er Samuel Becketts kendte modernistiske mesterværk, der sammen med "Waiting for Godot" traditionelt anses for at være en af hans største og mest skelsættede teaterstykker. En-akts stykket foregår i et rum, der er afskåret fra hvad der synes at være en apokalyptisk og affolket omverden. I en ramponeret lænestol i midten af rummet sidder Hamm - en blind mand, der er ude af stand til at stå op. Sammen med Hamm bor hans tjener, Clov, der selv er ude af stand til at sætte sig ned. Til venstre for Hamms lænestol står to affaldsspande fyldt med savsmuld, som indeholder Hamms benløse forældre. Britiske Samuel Becketts "Endgame" blev originalt skrevet på fransk, men denne engelske udgave af teaterstykket blev opført første gang i London i 1957.

Globalization as we know it is over. Industrial policies dismissed as obsolete for decades have been embraced by governments worldwide, geopolitical tensions are reminiscent of those at the height of the Cold War, and a resurgent far-right challenges the very foundations of contemporary democracy. In this book Jamie Merchant examines the roots of this significant shift in the global landscape, reaching further back than the commonly blamed failures post-Cold War. Instead, reviewing the global economy over the entire previous century, he shows that the great political and economic changes of the last decade are due not to a failed ideology of globalization, but to the long-term decay of the modern, market-based economic order. Endgame offers a historical perspective on the period of globalization, illuminating the future path of the global economy and world politics.

When I married my enemy's daughter, I didn't do it out of love. I did it so I could hurt her. Her father destroyed my family. Aurora Clarke was the key to destroying his. I watched the reckless heiress from afar, a predator hunting his prey. Saw her get arrested, then locked up. Strike one. Strike two. When the inevitable third came, I made sure I was the judge assigned to her case. Behind closed doors, I gave her two choices. Either years in prison...or marrying me. She was wrong to choose me. And me, I was dead wrong about her. Now that she's mine, I see it all. Her pain. The damage that was done to her. The scars no one ever bothered to look for. The people responsible will pay for it.

"Powerful... definitive... Rohde tells the Srebrenica story with all the shades of gray the truth demanded." -- The Washington Post In 1996, at the height of the Bosnian wars, a correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor named David Rohde uncovered a horrifying story that became an enduring symbol of the genocidal nature of that conflict, earning him his first Pulitzer Prize. Endgame is the full-length narrative of the nightmare he stumbled upon in the town of Srebrenica, where a massacre of historic proportions has been allowed to happen due to the negligence of the United States, NATO, and the United Nations. Told through the eyes of the soldiers, peacekeepers, and civilians who were there, this is a vital, unforgettable work of history about an atrocity that could have been prevented.
