<b>Few expected Donald Trump to return to the White House stronger than before. </b>The indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and four years of political exile made him not weaker but more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President that came before him.<br/><br/><i>Regime Change </i>is the definitive account of the first year of Donald Trump's second presidency, based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration's most closely guarded rooms. Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trump's second term, which has been liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him 'no' are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles.<br/><br/>Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the President's enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.<br/><br/><i>Regime Change </i>shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed.<b> A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.</b>

The Life, Death and Legacy of Jon Nödtveidt and Dissection. (S. Monle&#243;n). Denna biografi skildrar Jon Nödtveidt, ledare för Dissection, vars två arv formade extremmetal och ockult filosofi.

Andligt levde han efter sina esoteriska övertygelser med fullständig äkthet, och lämnade ett bestående avtryck både i musiken och den mörka filosofi han omfamnade. 240 sidor, Inbunden bok.

<b>A bestseller in France, this is the first English translation of Albert Camus and Maria Casares' fascinating, impassioned letters - a record of one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century</b><br/><br/><i>You and I met and fell in love passionately, impatiently, dangerously. I regret nothing and I feel that these last days I've lived are enough to justify a life.</i> - Albert Camus to Maria Casares, 1^st July 1944<br/><br/>Their affair began in wartime Paris. Maria Casares, a young Spanish actress, was starring in a production of the great writer's play <i>The Misunderstanding</i>, and at an after-party hosted by Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, they embarked on a brief but passionate relationship. Separated by the end of the Occupation and the return of Camus's wife to Paris, the couple were reunited by chance one day on the boulevard Saint-Germain, and from that day forward - until the fatal car crash that took Camus's life in 1960 - they were inseparable.<br/><br/>Their correspondence, uninterrupted for over a decade, is testimony to the depth of their connection while also offering a vivid portrait of artistic life in post-war Europe. Camus and Casares debate books and politics; describe encounters with Colette, Cocteau, Gide and Picasso; discuss stardom and everyday life, their love of the sea and nature, their doubts and dreams. Above all, they describe a relationship that feels like an impossible gift. <br/><br/>Translated into English for the first time by Sandra Smith and Cory Stockwell, these 865 letters reveal the intimate personal lives of two extraordinary artists, and record one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century.
