Don’t let her age fool you. Maud may be nearly ninety, but if you cross her, this elderly lady is more sinister than sweet.
Just when things have finally cooled down for 88-year-old Maud after the disturbing discovery of a dead body in her apartment in Gothenburg, a couple of detectives return to her doorstep. Though Maud dodges their questions with the skill of an Olympic gymnast a fifth of her age, she wonders if suspicion has fallen on her, little old lady that she is. The truth is, ever since Maud was a girl, death has seemed to follow her.
In these six interlocking stories, memories of unfortunate incidents from Maud’s past keep bubbling to the surface. Meanwhile, certain Problems in the present require immediate attention. Luckily, Maud is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands . . . even if it means she has to get a little blood on them in the process.

Oskar is a bullied 12 year-old boy, longing to extract revenge on his tormentors but unable to build the courage to do it himself. But then he meets a girl called Eli, who gives him the strength he's been looking for. But Eli is not all she seems to be...

2015 film directed by Hannes Holm

Swedish thriller based on Stieg Larsson's novel about a male journalist and a young female hacker. In the opening of the movie, Mikael Blomkvist, a middle-aged publisher for the magazine Millennium, loses a libel case brought by corrupt Swedish industrialist Hans-Erik Wennerström. Nevertheless, he is hired by Henrik Vanger in order to solve a cold case, the disappearance of Vanger's niece

When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives.

In this bestselling and “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.
A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

Viewing an apartment normally doesn’t turn into a life-or-death situation, but this particular open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes everyone in the apartment hostage. As the pressure mounts, the eight strangers slowly begin opening up to one another and reveal long-hidden truths.
First is Zara, a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else until tragedy changed her life. Now, she’s obsessed with visiting open houses to see how ordinary people live—and, perhaps, to set an old wrong to right. Then there’s Roger and Anna-Lena, an Ikea-addicted retired couple who are on a never-ending hunt for fixer-uppers to hide the fact that they don’t know how to fix their own failing marriage. Julia and Ro are a young lesbian couple and soon-to-be parents who are nervous about their chances for a successful life together since they can’t agree on anything. And there’s Estelle, an eighty-year-old woman who has lived long enough to be unimpressed by a masked bank robber waving a gun in her face. And despite the story she tells them all, Estelle hasn’t really come to the apartment to view it for her daughter, and her husband really isn’t outside parking the car.
As police surround the premises and television channels broadcast the hostage situation live, the tension mounts and even deeper secrets are slowly revealed. Before long, the robber must decide which is the more terrifying prospect: going out to face the police, or staying in the apartment with this group of impossible people.

Winning a junior ice hockey championship might not mean a lot to the average person, but it means everything to the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment and the surrounding wilderness. A victory like this would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice; to Kevin, a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the NHL; and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own professional hockey career ended in tragedy.
At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens between Kevin and the general manager’s daughter—and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear.
Fredrik Backman knows that we are forever shaped by the places we call home, and in this emotionally powerful, sweetly insightful story, he explores what can happen when we carry the heavy weight of other people's dreams on our shoulders.

几乎找不到比这则数十年前发生在斯德哥尔摩北方一座偏僻小岛的少女失踪案来得更冰冷的案件，也找不到比勇于揭发丑闻的瑞典记者拉森所写的这本欧洲畅销书，来得更热卖的小说处女作。
——《出版人周刊》
一项出版界的奇迹，一位不知从哪里冒出来的成功犯罪小说家……犯罪小说界极少同时需要向一位作家致敬与致哀——拉森就是这样一位光芒四射的作家。
——《周日泰晤士报》
瑞典的犯罪小说，就像该国一样，兼具高水平与社会关怀。这样的国家产生一部属于他们自己的《战争与和平》是早晚的事……这部小说巨著借由许多角色来呈现许多主题……本书的情节与节奏的掌握都极为出色，难怪整个欧洲都为之疯狂。
——《悉尼前锋早报》
我不信你今年还找得到比这本更好看的书。
——英国推理小说作家 薇儿·麦德米
如雪地上的血迹般强烈鲜明！一部完美的杰作，带领读者感受北欧犯罪小说的独特力量。
——英国推理小说作家 李·恰尔德
《龙文身的女孩》是部全新的政治与新闻悬疑小说，内容非常贴近人心且具道德精神。尽管揭露的是社会的黑暗面，斯蒂格·拉森仍完成了一部精彩丰富的小说，书中的主要人物令人难忘。
——《英国病人》作者 麦克尔·翁达杰
一开始，我带着一种老练的读者挑剔的眼光阅读斯蒂格·拉森长达二千一百页的《千禧年》三部曲，但很快就被彻底地征服了。几个星期来，我完全沉浸在每一部作品带给我的无尽的欢喜和极度的兴奋中。这种欢喜和兴奋只有在我童年和少年时阅读大仲马的《三个火枪手》或者狄更斯和维克多·雨果的小说时才有……像所有文学作品中的伟大的复仇故事一样，这个三部曲安抚了我们，让我们觉得在这个残缺的充满了谎言的世界上，还有一些珍贵的东西，也许它们就保存在城市的芸芸众生之中？！
——秘鲁作家 巴尔加斯·略萨
我遇见的每一位瑞典出版人都读过这三本书，也都不吝说出他们的赞美，这在嫉妒心很强的出版界是很难得而有趣的现象。再也不会有比这更有说服力的推荐了。
——瑞典资深出版人 克里斯托弗·麦理浩
这是我近年来读过的最好看的小说，可惜它不是由企鹅出版社出的。
——企鹅出版社中国公司总经理 周海伦
开始读这本书之后，它几乎接管了我的生活。……当我终于在凌晨三点合上本书时，眼睛已经极度疲累，但脑子却仍停留在拉森所创造出来、那极为鲜明的犯罪小说世界中，根本无法入睡。这是我读过最棒的犯罪小说之一。
——澳大利亚莫道克出版社发言人 朱莉·达拉赫
拉森的《龙文身的女孩》，总的来说属于密室犯罪小说，它起于智力，罪恶，仇恨，但终于一个人黑暗的内心，人性的“恶之花”，性与命相连的宿命。它终究是在丈量人心、世道，这是一般密室犯罪小说所达不到的。它像一首动听的流行歌，旋律是轻曼的，但调子是忧怨的，听着听着就听出一点宗教意味来，像麦当娜唱的《阿根廷，不要为我哭泣》。
——麦家
已经好久没有像读《龙文身的女孩》的激动，书中的女主人公的野性和正义，智慧和个性的美，正是我们这个时代女子所需要的形象！这本小说紧扣人心，使你一拿起就放不下，而且让你心里发出震撼，没人看了这本书会不喜欢的。
——虹影
如果你是个评论家，难免会发现有些书的宣传文字有点言过其实，但就《龙文身的女孩》而言，每一句赞美之词都名副其实……这本书黑暗且极具说服力……是我有幸读过最好的犯罪小说之一。“跨越了类型界线”是一句太常被使用的形容词，但用在这本书上可是再贴切不过了。
—— ReviewingTheEvidence书评网站
杰出、刺激、令人神魂颠倒、令人上瘾、有爆发力的“千禧”三部曲，挑战了所有的纪录。也可以单纯的以两个字来形容：奇迹！
