Lilja Kristjánsdóttir, blaðamaður á Dagblaðinu, starfar með fólki sem er svo ungt að það heldur að Helmut Kohl sé nýjasti rakspírinn frá Prada og Nirvana sé hugarástand sem fólk öðlast eftir jóga tíma yfir súrdeigsbrauði með avocado.
Þegar Lilja fær veður af því að hún sé líklegt fórnarlamb niðurskurðar tekur við upplausn í lífi hennar. Hver er hún ef hún er ekki Lilja Kristjánsdóttir, blaðamaður hjá Dagblaðinu?

A State of Siege
4.390 kr.In A State of Siege, Janet Frame brings her signature playfulness to paint a thrilling psychological portrait. After the death of her invalid mother, Malfred Signal, a retired New Zealand art teacher, leaves her birthplace in the south for a beach cottage on a sub-tropical island in the north. Freed from endless lessons on still life and the dominating presence of her family, she hopes at last to be alone with nature and the ‘room two inches behind the eyes’. But the solitude she has sought mocks her with echoes of her past, when, one stormy night, an intruder pounds ceaselessly and inexplicably on her door. Propulsive yet poignant, A State of Siege is a mesmerizing exploration of the artistic process, of selfhood and loneliness, and of death and its counterpart: the need to survive, to live.

Philosophy of the Home: Domestic Space and Happiness
3.690 kr.A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom – are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance. They play a decisive role in human flourishing and, for hundreds of years, their walls and walkways, windows and doorways have guided our relationships with others and with ourselves. They reflect and reinforce social inequalities; they allow us to celebrate and cherish those we love. They are the places of return that allow us to venture out into the world.
In this intimate, elegantly argued account, Coccia shows how the architecture of home has shaped, and continues to shape, our psyches and our societies, before then masterfully leading us towards a more creative, ecological way of dwelling in the world.
