''A remarkable debut novel'' Sunday Times''The best historical thriller I''ve read in twenty years'' A.J. Finn''A thrilling, unnerving, clever and beautiful story. Reading it is like giving a little gift to oneself'' Fredrik BackmanThe year is 1793, Stockholm. King Gustav of Sweden has been assassinated, years of foreign wars have emptied the treasuries, and the realm is governed by a self-interested elite, leaving its citizens to suffer. On the streets, malcontent and paranoia abound.A body is found in the city''s swamp by a watchman, Mickel Cardell, and the case is handed over to investigator Cecil Winge, who is dying of consumption. Together, Winge and Cardell become embroiled in a brutal world of guttersnipes and thieves, mercenaries and madams, and one death will expose a city rotten with corruption beneath its powdered and painted veneer.The Wolf and the Watchman depicts the capacity for cruelty in the name of survival or greed - but also the capacity for love, friendship, and the desire for a better world.

The year is 1794. A young nobleman, Eric Three Roses, languishes in hospital. Some think he would be just at home in the madhouse across the road. Ridden with guilt, he spends his nights writing down memories of his lost love who died on their wedding night. Her mother also mourns her and when no one listens to her suspicions, she begs the aid of the only person who will listen: Jean Mickel Cardell, the one-armed watchman. Cecil Winge is six months in the ground but when his younger brother Emil seeks out the watchman to retrieve his brother's missing pocket watch, Cardell enlists his help to discover what really happened at Three Roses' estate that night. But, unlike his dead brother, the younger Winge is an enigma, and Cardell soon realises that he may be more hindrance than help. And when they discover that a mysterious slave trader has been running Three Roses' affairs, it is a race against time to discover the truth before it's too late. In 1794, the second installment of Niklas Natt och Dag's historical noir trilogy, we are reunited with Mickel Cardell, Anna Stina Knapp, and the bustling world of late eighteenth century Stockholm ...

1795 je závěrečným dílem historické noir trilogie. Tycho Ceton se plíží městem jako raněné zvíře a spřádá plány, jak znovu nabýt důstojnost, o niž ho připravili. Rozpoutá takový chaos, jaký v podivuhodném i zkaženém městě Stockholmu ještě nezažili. Emil Winge je odhodlán Cetonovo řádění zastavit. Nemá však nikde zastání - mocní, stíháni paranoidními obavami ze spiknutí, mají jiné starosti a Mickela Cardella zaměstnává pátrání po Anně Stině Knappové, která po smrti svých dětí zmizela beze stopy. "Niklas Natt och Dag je vynikající vypravěč (…) nikdo před ním nedokázal popsat 18. století tak živě, jazykem, jenž dýchá starobylostí, a přesto zůstává srozumitelný. (…) Niklas Natt och Dag napsal výjimečnou trilogii, působivé historické líčení a zároveň neuvěřitelně napínavou, krvavou detektivku. - Dagens Nyheter, Sweden

Stockholm, 1793. Od smrti krále Gustava III. uběhl víc než rok a po městě se šíří dusivá atmoféra podezíravosti a zvěsti o spiknutí. V páchnoucích vodách jezera se najde mrtvola bez rukou a nohou, zohavená k nepoznání. Přestože Cecila Wingeho od stockholmské policie samotného čeká brzká smrt, neboť trpí souchotinami, ujme se případu. Brzy se zamotá do sítě temných tajemství a bezedného zla, do sítě, jejíž vlákna sahají až do nejvyšších vrstev stockholmské společnosti. Očima čtyř vypravěčů nahlédneme pod napudrovaný a omalovaný povrch Stockholmu na konci 18. století, pod nímž se objeví děsivá, temná a fascinující realita.

Audiokniha: Seberte kuráž a přestaňte si namlouvat, že peklo jsou ti druzí. Celé je to Sodoma! Požár hornsbergetského sirotčince skoncoval s nadějemi, že peklo ve Stockholmu končí a strážci zbytků jeho soudnosti se vybabrali z nejhoršího. Naopak. „Město mostů“ je prostě Sodoma Severu, takže podlý libertin – a chvílemi i užitečný blbec – Tychon Ceton už místním zpovykancům chystá radovánky, nad jejichž ukrutností by bledl i markýz de Sade. Jenže pletichář není v bezpečí ani v rouše beránčím. Pasou po něm mstitelé, kteří ho div neměli na lopatě: zarputilý chromajzl Mickell Cardell, jenž má sám máslo na hlavě, a Emil Winge, nejen brilantní mozek rodící se policie, ale taky pavouk, co má o kolečko víc. Zatímco spolu nahánějí ďábla v labyrintu hrůzy, někde stranou úpí pohřešovaná chuděra Anna Stina. O batolátka tragicky přišla a není si jistá životem, neboť jako jediná osoba mimo okruh spiklenců zná tajemství, jež by řádně provětralo poměry v zahnívající říši Gustava IV. Adolfa. Kostky jsou tudíž vrženy na hnojiště, jehož dno snad nebere konce. A „honicí psi“ musejí mít v záloze finty ještě drsnější, aby odhalili, kdo tu skutečně tahá za nitky.

There was once a greedy wolf. He was so greedy that every day he would eat enough food for TEN birthday parties and still be hungry for more...A wicked and ravenous wolf is on the prowl for dinner when he spots, dun dun dun, seven young goats … left at home alone. But, fear not, whilst these kid goats may be little, they are clever, innovative and have enough downright silly tricks in hand to avoid getting eaten and maybe even … get a little (or rather big) snack themselves.

A CBC Best Poetry Book of 2022Hail, The Invisible Watchman is haunted poetry—Oliver’s formal schemes are as tidy as a picket-fence and as suggestive; behind the charm of rhyme is a vibrant, dark exploration of domestic and social alienation.The poems in Hail, the Invisible Watchman are as tidy as a picket-fence—and as suggestive. Behind the charms of iambs lurks a dark exploration of domestic and social alienation. Metered rhyme sets the tone like a chilling piano score as insidiousness creeps into the neighbourhood. A spectral narrator surveils social gatherings in the town of Sherbet Lake; community members chime in, each revealing their various troubles and hypocrisies; an eerie reimagining of an Ethel Wilson novel follows a young woman into a taboo friendship with an enigmatic divorcée. In taut poetic structures across three succinct sections, Alexandra Oliver’s conflation of the mundane and the phantasmagoric produces a scintillating portrait of the suburban uncanny.

The Brontës and the Fairy Tale is the first comprehensive study devoted to the role of fairy tales and folklore in the work of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell Brontë. It intervenes in debates on genre, literary realism, the history of the fairy tale, and the position of women in the Victorian period. Building on recent scholarship emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the fairy tale and other genres in the nineteenth century, the book resituates the Brontës’ engagement with fairy tales in the context of twenty-first-century assumptions that the stories primarily evoke childhood and happy endings. Jessica Campbell argues instead that fairy tales and folklore function across the Brontës’ works as plot and character models, commentaries on gender, and signifiers of national identity.Scholars have long characterized the fairy tale as a form with tremendous power to influence cultures and individuals. The late twentieth century saw important critical work revealing the sinister aspects of that power, particularly its negative effects on female readers. But such an approach can inadvertently reduce the history of the fairy tale to a linear development from the “traditional” tale (pure, straight, patriarchal, and didactic) to the “postmodern” tale (playful, sophisticated, feminist, and radical).
