The novel follows the character Pelle Karlsson, who immigrates to Denmark from Sweden in 1877 at age eight. At 18, he moves from Bornholm to Copenhagen, and becomes a leader in the labour movement in Denmark, motivated by poor working conditions.

He was a socialist throughout his life and during the Second World War moved to the Soviet Union, and afterwards to Dresden in East Germany.

    The Voices of Martyrs

    From visionary Afrofuturist Maurice Broaddus comes the re-release of this seminal collection, with an all-new introduction and notes from the author. Fourteen stories meld history, folktales, horror, fantasy, and science fiction into electric moments scattered through ten centuries of Black experience.
    An outcast West African warrior takes on evil spirits, and the brutal priest who creates them. A freedwoman reveals what a spirit stone truly commemorates. A museum of grief houses a widower's memories—and a child's. Visiting his mother's Jamaican home, an American inherits a strange spirital inheritance. A 1970s quad skater flees time-traveling Afronauts convinced he can find the mothership groove. Steamfunk revolution foments in communities underneath robot-run Indianapolis. A lieutenant of the Evangelical States of America navigates first contact with an unexpected alien race.
    Through war and enlightenment, alongside vampires, obeah men, and common injustice, Broaddus's lyrical prose delivers epiphanies wrapped in page-turning excitement.
    Praise for The Voices of Marytrs:
    "The lush, descriptive prose tantalizes all the senses, drawing the reader into a rich world spanning both miles and centuries. Hints of magic in both the past and present, as well as the science fiction elements of the future stories, make this an exciting exploration of genre as well as culture." — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
    "Give thanks for these griot, hip-funk, afrofuturist stories of pure horror and complicated hope. Broaddus sounds a deep beat in this true myth of survival: what our heads forget, our bones remember." — Karen Lord, author of The Best of All Possible Worlds

    It's Halloween year-round in Elyan Hollow, Oregon, where Bailey Briggs sells the latest tomes of frights and fears at the bustling Lazy Bones Books—when she's not uncovering deadly secrets and mysteries that haunt the town . . . 
     
     
     
    There's more to celebrate this Halloween when Bailey's college friend Raven prepares to walk down the aisle in spooky seasonal style. As a bridesmaid, Bailey is overwhelmed helping with wedding preparations while the annual holiday festival scares up business for her bookstore. She also finds herself playing peacekeeper between fellow bridesmaids Colby and Ivy, whose arguments add even more conflict to the already simmering tensions within the wedding party between the groom's traditional family and the bride's bohemian parents. 
     
     
     
    Bailey arranges the bachelorette party on the night of the Halloween parade. But running into several people dressed as the Grim Reaper turns out to be a bad omen. An explosion rocks the route, causing a panic. When the smoke clears, Ivy is found dead, believed to be murdered—and Colby is questioned by police after several witnesses report the very public clashes between the two bridesmaids. Narrowing down the list of suspects to prove Colby's innocence means Bailey will have to find a motive—and keep her friend's wedding bells from becoming funeral knells . . .

    ""An absolutely dazzling entertainment. . . . Arousing on every level—political, erotic, intellectual, and above all, humorous."" —Newsweek 
    ""The Book of Laughter and Forgetting calls itself a novel, although it is part fairy tale, part literary criticism, part political tract, part musicology, and part autobiography. It can call itself whatever it wants to, because the whole is genius."" —New York Times 
    Rich in its stories, characters, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970s. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed, and experienced.
