Story
A Treacherous Paradise sees Henning Mankell turn his talents for writing gripping thrillers to a world where power and powerlessness meet and passion is a dangerous commodity. Hanna Lundmark escapes the brutal poverty of rural Sweden for a job as a cook onboard a steamship headed for Australia. Jumping ship at the African port of Lourenço Marques, Hanna decides to begin her life afresh. Stumbling across what she believes to be a down-at-heel hotel, Hanna becomes embroiled in a sequence of events that lead to her inheriting the most successful brothel in town.

The return of Kurt Wallander, for his final case, confirms Henning Mankell’s position as the king of crime writing.

Story
When Kurt Wallander first appeared in Faceless Killers back in 1990, he was a senior police officer, just turned 40, with his life in a mess. His wife had left him, his father barely acknowledged him; he ate badly and drank alone at night. The Pyramid chronicles the events that led him to such a place. We see him in the early years, doing hours on the beat whilst trying to solve a murder off-duty; witness the beginnings of his fragile relationship with Mona, the woman he has his heart set on marrying.

Story
Fredrik Welin is a 70-year-old retired doctor. Years ago he retreated to the Swedish archipelago where he lives alone on an island. He swims in the sea every day, cutting a hole in the ice if necessary. He lives a quiet life. Until he wakes up one night to find his house on fire. Fredrik escapes just in time, wearing two left-footed wellies, as neighbouring islanders arrive to help douse the flames. All that remains in the morning is a stinking ruin and evidence of arson.

Story
At three p.m. on a Saturday afternoon in 1911, Oskar Johansson is caught in a blast in an industrial accident. The local newspaper reports him dead, but they are mistaken. Because Oskar Johansson is a born survivor. Though crippled, Oskar finds the strength to go on living and working. The Rock Blaster charts his long professional life - his hopes and dreams, sorrows and joys. His relationship with the woman whose love saved him, with the labour movement that gave him a cause to believe in, and with his children, who do not share his ideals.

Story
Den verdenskendte svenske krimiforfatter, Henning Mankell, kører galt i sin bil en vinterdag. Bilen er totalskadet, Mankell har umiddelbart ingen alvorlige mén, men lader sig for en sikkerheds skyld røntgenfotografere. Resultatet er en kræftdiagnose, som han får i januar 2014. Dette er rammen om Henning Mankells bog. "En alvorlig historie om glæden ved livet" er en selvbiografisk bog, der handler meget mere om det levede liv end om døden. Sygdommen giver Mankell inspiration til at skrive om, hvad det vil sige at være menneske.

Story
Mankells Debütroman erstmals auf Deutsch. "Oskar. Ein lustiger Alter, der in einer alten Militärsauna wohnt. Er winkt immer, wenn man vorbeifährt. Er hat nur eine Hand und ein Auge." Als junger Mann wird der Sprengmeister Oskar Johansson bei einer fehlgeleiteten Zündung schwer verletzt. Seine Freundin verlässt ihn, und so heiratet er ihre Schwester und führt ein bescheidenes, entbehrungsreiches Leben. Trotz seiner Verwundung kehrt Oskar in seinen Beruf zurück. Er wird politisch aktiv und glaubt an eine Revolution, die nie kommt. Schon in seinem Debütroman, den er mit Anfang 20 schrieb, zeigt sich Mankell als politischer Schriftsteller, dessen Anliegen heute aktueller scheinen denn je.
