Audiokniha: Vrchní inspektor Armand Gamache dokáže ocenit nejen dobré jídlo a pití, ale především ryzost lidské povahy. Za dlouhá léta, co slouží u quebecké Sûreté, pochopil, že v zárodku každé vraždy se skrývá lidské neštěstí a že k nemyslitelnému činu mohou vést i drobné křivdy, strach nebo malicherná závist, když je v sobě někdo nechá kvasit dostatečně dlouho. Jenže co když k vraždě dojde za „nadpřirozených“ okolností – ve strašidelném domě a při spiritistické seanci? Mohou snad mrtví zabíjet? A co asi viděla těsně před smrtí oběť, má-li v obličeji výraz takové hrůzy, že to šokuje i otrlého zřízence na patologii? Jedno je jisté. Srdeční a rázovití obyvatelé Three Pines při své nevinné, i když možná nerozvážné noční zábavě něco probudili k životu. A to něco teď straší celou dříve tak idylickou vesničku. Gamache čeká nejen měření sil s přízrakem starého domu Hadleyových, ale i vyčerpávající a nerovný souboj se zrádcem mezi svými nejbližšími. „Pennyová umně vykresluje živý obraz kanadsko-francouzské vesničky, jejích obyvatel a moudrého detektiva, který potěší mnoho fanoušků Agathy Christie jako Hercule Poirot 21. století.“ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY „Pennyová je oceňovaná spisovatelka, jejíž smysl pro zajímavé charaktery, malebné prostředí a neotřelé zápletky dalece přesahuje tradiční hranice žánru.“ - ...

Audiokniha: Ve Three Pines se zase vraždí. A dokonce o Vánocích. Tentokrát se obětí stala zlá, sobecká, panovačná CC de Poitiers, která si v malebné kanadské vísce koupila „prokletý dům“. Zdá se, že její smrti nelituje vůbec nikdo včetně nejbližší rodiny a že důvod zabít ji měl tady snad každý. Navíc pachatel zvolil naprosto originální způsob vraždy – tak rafinovaný, že dokázal pořádně zamotat hlavu nejen místní policii, ale i vrchnímu inspektorovi Armandu Gamachovi z quebecké Sûreté. Ten však má oproti ostatním jednu velkou výhodu – dobře ví, že aby našel vraha, musí ho nejdřív pochopit. „Vražda je hluboce lidská věc, a to se týká jak zavražděného, tak i vraha.“ Za tuto knihu její autorka získala prestižní cenu Agatha Award za nejlepší klasický kriminální román roku – a její hlavní hrdina přirovnání k legendám: svéráznému Columbovi či jedinečnému Herculu Poirotovi.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and true crime icon Ann Rule, the cases in this collection grapple with murder, false identity, and much more. In some murder cases, the truth behind the most tragic of crimes crystallizes with relative ease. Not so with these fascinating accounts drawn from the personal files of Ann Rule, America’s #1 bestselling true crime writer.

Ditching the stuffy hang-ups and benighted sexual traditionalism of the past is an unambiguously positive thing. The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right? Wrong, argues Louise Perry in her provocative new book. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s sexual mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn – where anything goes and only consent matters – are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate case for a new sexual culture built around dignity, virtue and restraint. This counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be read by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era. Also available as an audiobook narrated by the author.

Audiokniha: Kompletní portrét nejbrutálnějšího sériového vraha Ameriky. Kniha spisovatelky Ann Rule, Ted Bundy, vrah po mém boku, je naprosto jedinečná ve své ohromující intimitě a popírá stejně děsivě jako v době svého vzniku naši představu, že bychom přece samozřejmě poznali, kdyby mezi námi žilo monstrum, pracovalo vedle nás a tvářilo se, že je jedním z nás. S mrazením stupňujícím se s každou další stránkou sledujeme, jak si autorka začala postupně uvědomovat, že její citlivý spolupracovník z krizové linky Ted Bundy je ve skutečnosti jedním z nejděsivějších sériových vrahů Ameriky. Bundy se doznal k zabití nejméně šestatřicet mladých žen po celých Spojených státech a za tři z těchto vražd byl nakonec odsouzen k smrti na elektrickém křesle. Autorka čerpá mimo jiné i ze své korespondence s Bundym, jež trvala až do doby krátce před jeho popravou. Daří se jí udržovat v rovnováze svůj hluboce osobní pohled na věc a svou roli kriminální reportérky při honu po brutálním sériovém vrahovi – geniálním a charismatickém Bundym, o němž si myslela, že ho zná. Touto nezapomenutelnou kronikou Bundyho života, jeho případu a jejich vzájemného vztahu, Ann Rule změnila směřování literárního žánru true crime.

But who is the ruling minority?Most of us are getting screwed over. Our world is defined by inequality, insecurity, lack of community and information overload. As the world burns, mega-corporations are reporting record profits. How are they getting away with it?‘Minority rule’ is the term Ash Sarkar uses to describe the irrational fear that minorities are trying to overturn and oppress majority populations. In her eye-opening debut, she reveals how minority elites rule majorities by creating the culture wars that have taken over our politics, stoking fear and panic in our media landscape. Because despite what they’ll have you believe, antiracist campaigners aren’t actually silencing the ‘forgotten’ working class, immigrants aren’t eating your pets, trans-activists aren’t corrupting your children, and cancel culture isn’t crushing free speech.In Minority Rule, Sarkar exposes how a strategic misdirection of ...

''A gem of a book ... Inspiring and timely. Everyone should read it'' Independent''The Rule of Law'' is a phrase much used but little examined. The idea of the rule of law as the foundation of modern states and civilisations has recently become even more talismanic than that of democracy, but what does it actually consist of? In this brilliant short book, Britain''s former senior law lord, and one of the world''s most acute legal minds, examines what the idea actually means. He makes clear that the rule of law is not an arid legal doctrine but is the foundation of a fair and just society, is a guarantee of responsible government, is an important contribution to economic growth and offers the best means yet devised for securing peace and co-operation. He briefly examines the historical origins of the rule, and then advances eight conditions which capture its essence as understood in western democracies today. He also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of law by the threat and experience of international terrorism.

''A groundbreaking analysis of what used to be an impenetrable mystery: how and why do cultures differ? ... Anyone interested in our cultural divides will find tremendous insight in Rule Makers, Rule Breakers'' - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of Enlightenment NowWhy are clocks in Germany always correct, while those in Brazil are frequently wrong? Why are Singaporeans jailed for selling gum? Why do women in New Zealand have three times the sex of females worldwide? Why was the Daimler-Chrysler merger ill-fated from the start? And why does each generation of Americans give their kids weirder and weirder names? Curious about the answers to these and other questions, award-winning social psychologist Michele Gelfand has spent two decades studying both tight societies (with clearly stated rules and codes of ethics) and loose societies (more informal communities with weak or ambiguous norms). Putting each under the microscope, she conducted research in more than fifty countries and collaborated with political scientists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, anthropologists, and archaeologists. Her fascinating conclusion: behaviour seems largely dependent on perceived threats.
