Ove er 59 år. Han kjører Saab. Til tross for at han ble sparket som styreleder i borettslaget for flere år siden (i det som Ove selv bare omtaler som «statskuppet»), klarer han ikke å la være å blande seg inn. Han sjekker at alt er på stell, og at ingen bryter reglene. Men når de nyinnflyttede naboene i rekkehuset midt imot er så uheldige å ødelegge Oves postkasse, blir det opptakten til en humoristisk og hjertevarm historie om rufsete katter, uventet vennskap – og kunsten å rygge med tilhenger. Det som skjer, kommer til å forandre en mann og et borettslag for alltid. En roman om kjærlighet, skikkelig verktøy og betydningen av alltid å kjøre Saab.

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, and gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - Mitch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final 'class': lessons in how to live.

Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s. Robin Buss’s lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas’s original. This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.
