Att råka ut för en olycka med ett kommersiellt flygplan är osannolikt.Att vara den enda överlevaren vid riktigt svåra krascher är extremt osannolikt.Men det har hänt.En av de mer spektakulära händelserna inbegriper en svensk: Elisabeth Brolin Clark, som 1980 färdades i ett flygplan som slogs sönder av ett åskoväder. Hon föll ur planet från 3000 meters höjd - och överlevde med ett brutet nyckelben.När sådana händelser inträffat har media oftast rapporterat om änglavakt och mirakel. Men för överlevarna själva har livet efter olyckorna många gånger varit tyngt av skuld ...

Jonas Karlsson erzählt in der Tradition Franz Kafkas von der wundersamen Verwandlung des kleinen Angestellten Björn, der eines Tages im Büro ein geheimes Zimmer entdeckt. Sobald Björn diesen Raum betritt, ist er ein anderer Mensch: Produktiv, kreativ - und glücklich.

The Authority looks favourably upon meticulousness, efficiency and ambition. Bjorn has all of this in spades, but it's only in the Room that he can really shine. Unfortunately, his colleagues see things differently. In fact they don't even see the Room at all. The Room is a short, sharp and fiendish fable in the tradition of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and Charlie Kaufman. If you have ever toiled in an office, felt like the world was against you or questioned the nature of reality then this is the audiobook for you.

The gentle, off-beat narrator of The Circus is perfectly content with his quiet life. By day, he works in a bakery, and by night, he obsessively organizes and reorganizes his record collection: It’s all just the way he likes it. But when his childhood friend, Magnus, comes calling out of the blue, the contours of our narrator’s familiar world begin to shift. On a visit to the circus together, Magnus volunteers to participate in the magician’s disappearing act, and midway through the routine, he vanishes. Is this part of the act? What’s happened to Magnus?

Björn is a compulsive, meticulous bureaucrat who discovers a secret room at the government office where he works—a secret room that no one else in his office will acknowledge. When Björn is in his room, what his co-workers see is him standing by the wall and staring off into space looking dazed, relaxed, and decidedly creepy. Björn’s bizarre behavior eventually leads his co-workers to try and have him fired, but Björn will turn the tables on them with help from his secret room.
