„Dokumentární“ thriller nominovaný na Man Booker Prize a přeložený do více než dvanácti jazyků se tváří jako soubor „nalezených“ listin pojednávajících o vyvraždění jedné rodiny na skotském venkově v roce 1869 a následném soudu, který zkoumá, zda byl pachatel při spáchání činu příčetný, anebo se propadl do šílenství. Napínavé líčení je navíc vynikajícím pokusem rozlišit tyto dva stavy lidské mysli a také historickým esejem o tom, jak se v kriminalistice začaly uplatňovat poznatky psychiatrie a psychologie zločinu, doplněným o humorné přiblížení tehdy módní pseudoteorie degeneracionismu a dědičnosti zločinné povahy. Graeme Macrae Burnet (1967) je skotský prozaik žijící v Glasgow; nějakou dobu pobýval i v Česku. Upozornil na sebe výraznou prvotinou, mystifikační detektivkou Zmizení Adele Bedeauové (česky Argo 2018). Druhý román, Jeho krvavé dílo, sklidil obrovský úspěch u čtenářů „Ďábelsky čtivé.“ The Guardian

Further Facets of Wuthering Heights is a follow-up to Facets of Wuthering Heights (Matador, 2018). The book consists of nineteen of Graeme Tytler’s essays, originally published in the journal Brontë Studies over the years. Each of the essays is a critical discussion of one particular aspect of Emily Brontë''s masterpiece, based on a close reading of the text. This second collection continues to draw attention to Emily''s remarkable versatility as a novelist by pointing up again the skill with which she has constructed the plot, the inventiveness with which she has created an astonishing variety of complex characters, and the brilliance with which she has made structural use of her central themes. And although Wuthering Heights is famous above all for its extraordinary love story, these essays explore deeper meanings and shades of the plot, characters and even props, to open the eyes of the reader who will perhaps experience a new, surprising enjoyment of the novel.

In the Footsteps of the Etruscans describes the archaeology of the countryside within a ten km radius of the small town of Tuscania near Rome, throwing light on the unrecorded lives of the generations of farmers and shepherds who have lived there. What was the character of prehistoric settlement prior to Etruscan urbanization? How did urbanization shape the lives of the ''ordinary Etruscans'' working the land, hardly ever addressed in Etruscan archaeology? What was the impact on these people of being absorbed into the expanding Roman empire and its globalised economic structures? How did the empire''s collapse and the subsequent emergence of the nucleated medieval village affect Tuscania''s rural population? The project''s 7500-year ''archaeological history'', from the first farmers to those grappling with globalisation today, contributes eloquently to our understanding of how Mediterranean peoples have constantly shaped their landscape, and been shaped by it.

The first and only comprehensive collection of writings by Elizabeth Garver Jordan, the groundbreaking journalist, suffragist, and editor whose fearless reporting on women preceded the #MeToo movement and popularized the true-crime genreA Penguin ClassicThe Case of Lizzie Borden and Other Writings is the first to collect Garver JordanÂ’s fiction and journalism, much of which has been out of print for over a century. Jordan began her career as a reporter, making her name as one of few women journalists to cover the Lizzie Borden murder trial for the New York World in 1893. JordanÂ’s distinctive, narrative-driven coverage of the Borden and other high-profile murder cases brought her national visibility, and she turned increasingly to fiction writing. Drawing on her experiences as a true-crime reporter and newspaper editor, she published detective novels and short story collections such as Tales of the City Room that explored the fine line between womenÂ’s criminality and crimes against women. Employing popular genre conventions as a means of dealing with womenÂ’s issues, Jordan exposed gendered abuse in the workplace and the prevalence of sexual violence. The Case of Lizzie Borden and Other Writings encourages readers to draw a historical trajectory from JordanÂ’s pioneering literary activism to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In The Case of the Pope Geoffrey Robertson QC delivers a devastating indictment of the way the Vatican has run a secret legal system that shields paedophile priests from criminal trial around the world. Is the Pope morally or legally responsible for the negligence that has allowed so many terrible crimes to go unpunished? Should he and his seat of power, the Holy See, continue to enjoy an immunity that places them above the law? Geoffrey Robertson QC, a distinguished human rights lawyer and judge, evinces a deep respect for the good works of Catholics and their church. But, he argues, unless Pope Benedict XVI can divest himself of the beguilements of statehood and devotion to obsolescent canon law, the Vatican will remain a serious enemy to the advance of human rights.
