The third in the late Philip Kerr s universally acclaimed Berlin Noir trilogy, A German Requiem sees detective Bernie Gunther enter the new and terrifying world of post-war Vienna. In the bitter winter of 1947 the Russian Zone is closing ever more tightly around Berlin. So when an enigmatic Russian colonel asks Bernie Gunther to go to Vienna, where his ex-Kripo colleague Emil Becker faces a murder charge, Bernie doesn t hesitate for long. Despite Becker s unsavoury past, Gunther is convinced that shooting an American Nazi-hunter is one crime he didn t commit.But Vienna is not the peaceful haven Bernie expects it to be. Communism is the new enemy, and with the Nuremberg trials over, some strange alliances are being forged against the Red Menace - alignments that make many wartime atrocities look lily-white by comparison.Vividly evoking the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all Philip Kerr s pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt, suspicion, and double-dealing that laid the foundations for the Cold War.

Gunther is forced to accept a temporary post in Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich s state Security Service, with a team of men underneath him tasked purely with hunting the killer. But can he trust his team any more than he can trust his superiors?An unflinching, fast-paced thriller exploring the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture, The Pale Criminal will be loved by fans of Robert Harris and Frederick Forsythe.

Psychologický thriller ze současnosti, který se vzpíná k netušeným výšinám. Co když Bůh existuje, ale je zlý? Houstonský agent FBI Gil Martins prochází už nějaký čas krizí víry, a rozhodně ho z ní nedostane série vražd, které se odehrávají ve městě a okolí. Oběti jsou dvojího druhu: pobožní svatoušci, kteří nikdy nemluví sprostě a nejlépe se cítí v kostele, a na druhé straně ateisti, kteří veřejně označili náboženství za tmářství. Je snad možné, aby se v moderním velkoměstě odehrávala skrytá náboženská válka? Gil Martins případ rozkryje, ale projde si přitom peklem. Philip Kerr (*1956) je britský autor píšící jak pro dospělé, tak i pro děti. Proslavil se především svou sérií detektivních románů, které spojuje postava detektiva Bernharda Günthera. Vystudoval práva na univerzitě v Birminghamu a po dosažení magisterského titulu se několik let živil psaním textů pro reklamní agenturu. V roce 1989 se stal spisovatelem na volné noze.

One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written LEE CHILD A man doesn t work for his enemies unless he has little choice in the matter. So says Bernie Gunther. It is 1954 and Bernie is in Cuba. Tiring of his increasingly dangerous work spying on Meyer Lansky, Bernie acquires a boat and a beautiful companion and quits the island. But the US Navy has other ideas, and soon he finds himself in a place with which he is all too familiar - a prison cell. After exhaustive questioning, he is flown back to Berlin and yet another prison cell with a proposition: work for French intelligence or hang for murder. The job is simple: he is to meet and greet POWs returning to Germany and to look out for one in particular, a French war criminal and member of the French SS who has been posing as a German Wehrmacht officer. The French are anxious to catch up with this man and deal with him in their own ruthless way. But Bernie s past as a German POW in Russia is about to catch up with him - in a way he could never have foreseen. Bernie Gunther s seventh outing delivers more of the fast-paced and quick-witted action that we have come to expect from Philip Kerr. Set in Cuba, a Soviet POW camp, Paris and Berlin, and ranging over a period of twenty years from the Thirties to the Fifties, Field Grey is an outstanding thriller by a writer at the top of his game.

One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written LEE CHILDSummer 1942. When Bernie Gunther is ordered to speak at an international police conference, an old acquaintance has a favour to ask. Little does Bernie suspect what this simple surveillance task will provoke... One year later, resurfacing from the hell of the Eastern Front, a superior gives him another task that seems straightforward: locating the father of Dalia Dresner, the rising star of German cinema. Bernie accepts the job. Not that he has much choice - the superior is Goebbels himself. But Dresner s father hails from Yugoslavia, a country so riven by sectarian horrors that even Bernie s stomach is turned. Yet even with monsters at home and abroad, one thing alone drives him on from Berlin to Zagreb to Zurich: Bernie Gunther has fallen in love.

One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written LEE CHILDBerlin, March 1943. The mood in Germany is bleak after their stunning defeat at Stalingrad. Private Investigator Bernie Gunther is at work in the German War Crimes Bureau - weary, cynical but well aware of the value of truth in a world where that s now a rarity. When human remains are found deep in the Katyn Forest, Bernie is sent to investigate. Rumour has it that this mass grave is full of Polish officers murdered by the Russians. For Josef Goebbels, proof of Russian involvement is sure to destroy the Western Alliance, giving Germany a chance to reverse its devastating losses. But supposing the truth is far more damaging to the German cause? It s Bernie Gunther s job to give Goebbels what he needs. But when there s nothing left for Gunther to lose, the compulsion to speak the truth becomes ever stronger...

A riveting take on an extraordinary relationship - Richard Eden, Daily Mail A fresh and original approach - Hugo Vickers, Royal BiographerShe was sugar pink innocence; he was a handsome war hero. Both had royal blood coursing through their veins. The marriage of Britain s Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in November 1947 is remembered as the beginning of an extraordinary, lifelong union but success was not guaranteed. Elizabeth and Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy plunges us back into the 1940s when a teenage princess fell in love with a foreign prince. Cue fears of a flirtatious Greek fortune hunter stealing off with Britain s crown jewel and Philip s supporters scrambling to reframe him as a good fit for the Royal Family. Drawing on original newspaper archives and the opinions of Elizabeth and Philip s contemporaries, historian Dr Tessa Dunlop discovers a post-war world on the cusp of major change. Unprecedented polling on Philip s suitability was a harbinger of pressures to come for a couple whose marriage was branded the ultimate global fairytale. Theirs was a partnership like no other. Six years after Elizabeth promised to be an obedient wife Philip got down on bended knee at the coronation and committed himself as the Queen s liege man of life and limb. Published 75 years after their marriage, this deeply touching history explores the ups and downs, the public appeal and the private tensions that defined an extraordinary relationship. The high stakes involved might have devoured a less committed pair - but Elizabeth and Philip shared a common purpose, one higher even than marriage, with roots much deeper than young love. Happy and Glorious, for better or for worse, how did their union succeed? Monarchy was the magic word.

A sharp-tongued spokesman for Japan s environment and traditions —The New York TimesIn Alex Kerr s critically acclaimed Lost Japan and Dogs and Demons, he documented the decline of the traditional landscapes of Japan, his adopted home of many years. Here, in Hidden Japan he makes a journey of rediscovery to find the wonders that still remain.Originally published in Japanese as a call to preserve disappearing facets of Japan s rich and ancient culture, Hidden Japan records Kerr s travels to various remote and lesser-known places where pockets of traditional culture can still be found. Some are faraway—like Aogashima Island, 200 miles south of Tokyo—while others are easy to reach, such as Mii-dera temple just east of Kyoto. The ten engaging essays in this book describe surprising remnants of Japan s fragile physical and cultural environment, including:Avant-garde Butoh dancing in the remote village of Tashiro in Akita PrefectureHow shochu liquor is distilled from tropical ferns on the Pacific island of AogashimaAn austere but delicious kaiseki meal in rural Tottori Prefecture composed of local herbs and meatsAnecdotes relating to Kerr s childhood growing up in Japan and his passion for restoring old housesThe damage caused by governmental infrastructure and reforestation policies, as well as by tourismPlus many other topics! Kerr s sharp eye for detail and exquisite descriptions of Japanese, arts, architecture and foods will inspire readers who already appreciate his unique look at the reality of Japan beyond the romance. His personal involvement and obvious love for his subjects encourage us all to think more carefully about our own traditions and environment, and to challenge ourselves to search for better solutions to preserve what is of value all around us.

From the sixteenth-century botanist who was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe to modern-day women responding to bear attacks in Yellowstone, working to rewild reserves in South Africa, photographing Caribou in the Arctic and more, Philippa examines how these women benefit from a life spent in the wilderness and also considers what the natural world gains from them.Relating some of her own experiences from three decades spent travelling around the world and working in some of the wildest places on Earth, Philippa asks: what does it take for a woman to live or work in the wild?

Requiem za cvoky volně navazuje na předchozí knihu hudebníka Pavla Tylšara a výtvarníka Václava Benedikta. Po fantazijních básních v knize Fuga zní dvěma hlasy je zde Tylšar mnohem adresnější a témata mají konkrétnější kontury. První část knihy Potopená katedrála je směsí poeticko fantazijních textů, které gradují závěrečnými básněmi Vernisáž a Potopená katedrála. Ve druhé části Molto primitivo jde autor sarkasticky až na dřeň podstaty cynismu pokřivené lidské morálky pomocí jednoduchých, přímočarých textů. Ve třetí části Requiem za cvoky se ocitáme na rozhraní šílenství a tohy po životě bez nánosů zavedených společenských klišé. Benedikt ve svých ilustracích opět vychází z motivů textů. Pojal je oproti minulé knize s pomocí lehkého zabarvení a dává tím básním ještě větší rozměr.

A funny, sad novella about how we got here from there, and how, in our youth, our eyes saw things differently The TimesA private meeting, chance encounters and a mysterious tour of Lisbon haunt this moving homage to Tabucchi s adopted cityIn the city of Lisbon, Requiem s narrator has an appointment to meet someone on a quay by the Tagus at twelve. Misunderstanding twelve to mean noon as opposed to midnight, he is left to wait. As the day unfolds he has many unexpected encounters - with a young drug addict, a disorientated taxi driver, a cemetery keeper, the mysterious Isabel and the ghost of the late great poet Fernando Pessoa - each meeting travelling between the real and illusionary. Part travelogue, part autobiography, part fiction, Requiem becomes an homage to a country and its people, and a farewell to the past as the narrator lays claim to a literary forebear who, like himself, is an evasive and many-sided personality. Tabucchi is a master of illusion and allusion, and this is a literary puzzle that teases, amuses and provokes Sunday Telegraph
