Description du livre Softcover. Etat : new. Product DescriptionThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Beartown returns with an unforgettable novel about people-about strength and tribal loyalty and what we unwittingly do when trying to show our boys how to be men (Jojo Moyes).Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did.Have you ever seen a town rise? Ours did that, too.A small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who dont expect life to be easy or fair. No matter how difficult times get, theyve always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team. So its a cruel blow when they hear that Beartown ice hockey might soon be disbanded. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact. As the tension mounts between the two adversaries, a newcomer arrives who gives Beartown hockey a surprising new coach and a chance at a comeback.Soon a team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player youll ever see; Benji, the intense lone wolf; always dutiful and eager-to-please Bobo; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker. But bringing this team together proves to be a challenge as old bonds are broken, new ones are formed, and the towns enmity with Hed grows more and more acute.As the big game approaches, the not-so-innocent pranks and incidents between the communities pile up and their mutual contempt intensifies. By the time the last goal is scored, a resident of Beartown will be dead, and the people of both towns will be forced to wonder if, after everything, the game they love can ever return to something as simple and innocent as a field of ice, two nets, and two teams. Us against you.Here is a declaration of love for all the big and small, bright and dark stories that give form and color to our communities. With immense compassion and insight, Fredrik Backman-the Dickens of our age (Green Valley News)-reveals how loyalty, friendship, and kindness can carry a town through its most challenging days.Age Range: AdultReviewPRAISE FOR US AGAINST YOUWhat you get in a Fredrik Backman work is wonderful writing and brilliant insights into things that truly matter-right vs. wrong, fear vs. courage, love vs. hate, the importance and limits of friendship and loyalty, and more. Fredrik Backman is one of the worlds best and most interesting novelists. He is a giant among the worlds great novelists-and this literary giant is still growing. - Washington Times"[Backman] creates an astute emotional world much bigger than a small Swedish town.A novel you can sink into." - Chicago Tribune"Deftly explores recovery and rebirth." - US WeeklyIf Alexander McCall Smiths and Maeve Binchys novels had a love child, the result would be the work of Swedish writer Fredrik Backman.With his wry acceptance of foible and failure, Backman combines a singular style with a large and compassionate perspective for his characters.[His] novels have wide appeal, and for good reason. Us Against You takes a lyrical look at how a community heals, how families recover and how individuals grow. - The Washington PostBackman (A Man Called Ove) returns to the hockey-obsessed village of his previous novel Beartown to chronicle the passion, violence, resilience, and humanity of the people who live there in this engrossing tale of small-town Swedish life. Backmans excellent novel has an atmosphere of both Scandinavian folktale and Greek tragedy. Darkness and grit exist alongside tenderness and levity, creating a blunt realism that brings the settings small-town atmosphere to vivid life. - Publishers WeeklyEvident in all [Backman] novels is an apparent ability to state a truth about humanity with breathtaking elegance. - KirkusAbout the AuthorFredrik Backman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Shes Sorry, Brit.
