Hendrik Groen voib ju vana olla, aga veel mitte surnud ning ta ei kavatse sugugi alla anda. Tosi kull, ta jalutuskaigud jaavad jarjest luhemaks, sest jalad ei taha hasti koostood teha, ja ta peab sagedasti arsti juures kaima.Tehniliselt vottes on ta rauk. Aga miks peaks elu sellegipoolest koosnema toataimede taga kohvi joomisest ja lopuootusest?Luhikeste, pealtnaha kergete, kuid eelkoige avameelsete paevikukatkete abil saame koos Hendrik Groeniga kaasa elada Pohja-Amsterdami vanadekodus tegutseva massajate klubi „Vanad, Kuid Mitte Surnud“ elu tousudele ja moonadele. Aasta viimasel paeval on sellele sarmikale vanaharrale kullap oige raske huvasti oelda.„Salapaevik“ on rahvusvaheline bestseller, mida on praeguseks tolgitud ligi kolmekumnesse keeldeLobus ja avameelne – suure sudamega lugu, see haaras mind oma eneseiroonilise huumoriga, huvitavate tegelaste ja oluliste teemadega. Igauhele, kes loodab vaarikalt vananeda, on siin palju motteainet.Graeme Simsion, „Naiseotsingu” ja „Abielu Rosiega” autorSelles raamatus saab palju naerda, kuid see on hoopis enamat kui lihtsalt komoodia. See on lugu sellest, kuidas soprus, omakasupuudmatus ja vaarikus on inimese elus kesksel kohal. Kui ma olen vana mees, tahan ma olla Hendrik Groen.John Boyne, „Poiss triibulises pidzaamas” autorHendrik Groen on kuningas. Minu 78aastane ema jaab tasapisi dementseks. Lehti ega ajakirju ta enam ei loe, ainult vanad fotoalbumid suudavad ta tahelepanu veel viieks minutiks koita. Aga Hendrik Groen suutis ta naerma ajada ja ta luges raamatut vahemalt pool tundi jarjest.Ray Kluun, „Love Life” autorSeda raamatut lugedes ma naersin pisarateni ja siis ma naersin ja nutsin veel.David Suchet

Rage, resentment, envy, jealousy, and hatred— these emotions seem to dominate our times. They rule our highways, our workplaces, our homes, and our hearts. In this provocative book of essays, writer Garret Keizer considers anger in all its baffling forms. Poignantly aware of his own temper, and of his ties to a religion that glorifies meekness, the author looks at anger as a paradox in our struggle to remain human in the midst of an infuriating world. Interweaving personal anecdotes, mythological stories, sacred texts, and Keizer's insightful observations, The Enigma of Anger will prove a welcome companion for anyone who has ever wrestled with wrath-or wished to make better use of it.
