Efter ett långt och synnerligen händelserikt liv hamnar Allan Karlsson på det äldrehem han tänker ska bli hans sista anhalt på jorden. Problemet är bara att hälsan vägrar ge vika, och en dag bär det sig inte bättre än att det är dags för honom att fylla tresiffrigt. Pompa och ståt väntar, med kommunalråd och lokaltidning på plats. Ett spektakel så oönskat av Allan att han i stället kliver ut genom fönstret. Därmed är han på rymmen från sitt eget födelsedagskalas.

On the eve of Keith Jefferson’s retirement, Aliens invade the Earth with one demand, that they be worshipped. Keith worshipped no one. And having lost his pension and other financial instruments when the banks and other financial institutions exploiting the invasion kept everyone’s assets because they could, Keith vowed revenge and became a one-man resistance movement in a world that complacently accepted the alien leaders as, just some other people they didn’t vote for who now were in charge.

¿Usted cree que a los sacerdotes no les gusta la buena vida, por eso de que el reino de Dios no está en la tierra? Los obispos usan Mercedes porque son autos muy resistentes, mucho mejores que un jeep o una camioneta. Y viven en mansiones porque en casitas no les caben las oficinas episcopales. ¿Qué haría un clérigo a quien le tocase el gordo de la lotería? Yo opino que lo repartiría entre los necesitados. Comenzaría por sí mismo, porque nadie duda que los curas están necesitados. Y haría bien, ya que la caridad bien entendida empieza por uno mismo. Por eso, la historia del ...

This book is about spirits and events from 1890 to 1965 in the Big Bend area of the Rio Grande as it flows between Mexico and West Texas. The land is mesas of ancient limestones and shales and much younger mountains and spires of igneous rock which rose from inside the earth three hundred billion hours ago. (Dinosaurs became extinct about five hundred and seventy billion hours ago.) That volcanic activity also formed dikes and underground structures in the fractured and faulted sedimentary rock. Springs can be found in the driest parts of this desert landscape, and the intricate ...
