About this title

Synopsis:

With an introduction by Tariq Ali.
Now almost exclusively known as the author of the bestselling Trilogy, as a professional journalist Stieg Larsson was an untiring crusader for democracy and equality. As a reporter and editor-in-chief on the journal Expo he researched the extreme right both in Sweden and at an international level. Collected here for the first time are essays and articles on right-wing extremism and racism, on violence against women and women's rights, on homophobia and honour killings. Included also is an account written for Vagabond magazine of his travels aboard the Trans-Siberian Express from Moscow to Beijing.

His most important writings - perceptive, learned and committed texts - illustrate the breadth of his journalistic and political activities in connection with matters that were closest to his heart, and to which he devoted his life. Despite death threats and financial difficulties, Larsson never ceased to fight for and write about his most firmly held principles; it was his commitment to these which gave his best-selling novels their explosive force.

Review:

'This collection - often infuriating, but always challenging - may be bought by most as an adjunct to Larsson's fictional universe' Barry Forshaw, Independent.

'Here is the best - and most passionate - of his non-fiction writing, covering right-wing extremism, homophobia and women's rights' Metro.

'This is a truly valuable piece in the jigsaw puzzle that was the life of the late author of The Millennium Trilogy' We Love This Book.

'he proves that his legacy extends beyond a tattooed biker chick. His words have never been so pertinent and his passion shines through' Shortlist.

'an illuminating footnote to Larsson's fiction as well as a tribute to a brave journalist who was only too willing to kick the hornets' nest' Telegraph.

'a spur to democratic participation' Independent on Sunday.

'These journalistic articles goes some way in explaining the underlying themes of his hugely successful Millennium Trilogy crime novels' Big Issue.

'It is a mirror piece to his thrillers' Bookbag. 'Larsson's writing is sincere and vehement ... The anger and convictions which run as a deep undercurrent through Larsson's Millennium Trilogy come to the surface and are spelled out with clarity in this book' Times Literary Supplement.

'We understand better why his friends miss him so, and why they sought to make this book' Guardian.

Store Description

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
