Případy komisaře Wallandera 9 - poslední případ světoznámého komisaře Wallandera. Jednoho dubnového rána roku 2008 zmizí na své pravidelné procházce lesoparkem vysloužilý vysoce postavený námořní důstojník H?kan von Enke. Vyšetřování případu má na starosti stockholmská policie a komisař Wallander s ním nemá nic společného - tedy oficiálně. Jenže zmizelý důstojník se měl stát tchánem jeho dcery. A tak se Wallander brzy zaplete do věcí, po kterých mu úředně nic není, slibuje, co vzápětí nesplní, dokonce i lže, když je to zapotřebí - a vychází mu to. Brzy ale narazí na matoucí špionážní aktivity, které se váží ještě k době studené války… Přidávají se ale další nečekané překážky. Co překročil šedesátku, má komisař pocit, že se nachází na prahu senility. Zoufale se drží naděje, kterou pro něj zosobňuje nedávno narozená vnučka, ale životní realita ho dohání. Do budoucnosti hledí s velkou nejistotou a zdá se nevyhnutelné, že se musí tváří v tvář utkat s tím nejvzpurnějším soupeřem: sám se sebou. Henning Mankell vytvořil v komisaři Wallanderovi jednu z nejzajímavějších postav současného detektivního světa. Mankell dvakrát získal Cenu švédské akademie autorů detektivní literatury, za své knihy obdržel různá uznání ve Skandinávii, Evropě i Americe.

Audiokniha: Jak dohnat temný stín ve stopách zavražděného kolegy? Netradiční oslava slunovratu v maskách a kostýmech z 18. století má nešťastný konec – trojice mladých lidí, která se jí zúčastnila, se pohřešuje. Když je pak Wallanderův kolega Svedberg, který se do pátrání po nich pustil na vlastní pěst, nalezen mrtev, uvědomí si komisař, že má co do činění s nemilosrdným vrahem. Sedmý díl série případů komisaře Wallandera. „Napětí v souboji neúprosného zabijáka a policistů, kteří ve snaze dospět alespoň k náznaku nějakého řešení už ani nevědí, co je spánek, se neustále stupňuje. Vylíčit atmosféru plnou nervozity až beznaděje uměl Mankell dokonale, stejně jako vytvořit psychologicky věrohodné postavy.“ – Alena Slezáková, MF Dnes „Jiřího herecký projev založený na úspornosti a věcnosti mi imponuje, navíc se velkými rolemi, do nichž je obsazován, dobrušuje k ještě větší rafinované autentičnosti mezi stylizací a reálem, takže se na jevišti, na plátně i před mikrofonem zdá, že interpret vlastně jen existuje, aniž by hrál.

Audiokniha: Henning Mankell je mezinárodně nejprodávanější švédský autor. Jiří Vyorálek představuje v prvním případu jeho slavného komisaře, zasmušilého bručouna, Kurta Wallandera... Komisaře Kurta Wallandera opustila žena, dcera s ním příliš nekomunikuje a jeho otec propadá senilitě. Pocity vyčerpanosti a zmaru vyvrcholí brzkým ranním výjezdem ke zdánlivě rutinnímu případu na osamělé farmě. Uprostřed mrazivého lednového rána na něj totiž čeká šokující místo činu: brutálně zavražděný starý muž a jeho manželka téměř zadušená smyčkou se zvláštním uzlem. Jediným svědectvím staré ženy, která v nemocnici podlehne svým zraněním, však zůstává slovo: „cizí“. Když zjištěná informace unikne do médií, má Wallander co dělat nejen s neznámými pachateli, ale rovněž s xenofobní vlnou násilí proti obyvatelům místního uprchlického tábora. Příležitost seznámit se s tímto báječným antihrdinou lidskosti, plným pochyb o vlastním životě a značně deprimovaným tím, jak hrůzné události vyjevují odpudivou stránku švédské společnosti… Pro ty, kdo Wallandera ještě neznají, je to kniha, kterou je třeba začít objevovat Mankellovo románové dílo. Babelio Mimořádný román. Hloubka a napětí, které uchvacují. Los Angeles Times Zručně popsané policejní postupy, příběh se rozvíjí ve svižném tempu a vrcholí ve strhujícím rozuzlení.

Nevysvětlitelná tragédie má o rok později krvavé pokračování ve Švédsku. Rutinní pátrání po samotářském milovníku ptactva vyústí v děsivý objev. Tělo starce je nabodnuto v pasti vytvořené z ostrých bambusových tyčí. Tato vražda byla pečlivě naplánována. A vzápětí zmizí další muž… Vyšetřování je ubíjející: nalezené stopy nikam nevedou a nepatrný postup vpřed je možný jen díky zarputilé policejní práci. Komisaři se před očima postupně objevuje obraz, jaký si nedokázal představit ani v nejčernějším snu. Tentokrát stojí proti vrahovi, s jakým se ještě nesetkal. Šestý díl série případů komisaře Wallandera. Henning Mankell (1948 – 2015) Narodil se ve Stockholmu a vyrostl na různých místech Švédska.

Audiokniha: Desátý díl série případů komisaře Wallandera skrývající novelu a autorův doslov. Po třiceti letech na stejném pracovním místě chce unavený a nevrlý komisař Kurt Wallander konečně něco změnit. Když se mu naskytne příležitost koupit starý statek s rozlehlou zarostlou zahradou na klidném venkově, neváhá. Idyla se však rozplyne ve chvíli, kdy na ní najde lidskou ruku a posléze celou kostru, pohřbenou v mělkém hrobě. Místo zařizování útulného domova se tak komisař pouští do hledání vraha... „Číst tento krátký příběh je čiré potěšení, které stojí za to si vychutnat.“ – The Guardian Druhá část knihy potěší srdce každého Wallanderova fanouška. Autor tu v doslovu popisuje, jak celá série vznikala, a nechává nás nahlédnout do zákulisí slavné kriminální ságy. „Mně nemá Wallander co chybět. To čtenáři by ho měli postrádat.“ – Henning Mankell.

Audiokniha: Jsou jedné krve. A proto chápou, kolik bolesti obnáší strážit zákon… Čerstvou absolventku policejní akademie Lindu Wallanderovou zanedlouho čeká obvyklé kolečko městské pochůzkářky. I když proti otci a jeho způsobům celou pubertu protestovala, vybrala si nakonec tutéž profesi. Jsou přece jedné krve, což švédští strážci zákona ocení. Linda je sice nejspíš stejně prchlivá a paličatá jako její táta Kurt, ale taky intuitivní bystrozraká mladá žena, která si umí spojit dvě a dvě a pronásledovat zlořád s urputností buldoka. Krom toho má paklíč otevírající lecjaké dveře, i kdyby to týden před formálním nástupem k ystadskému sboru znamenalo, že vážně ohrozí svou bezpečnost… Začalo to hořícími labutěmi v parku, pak kdosi upálil tele ve stáji a způsobil i požár svatostánku, po němž v lavici zůstala uškrcená věřící. Otec i dcera Wallanderovi – občas pátrající ve vzájemné shodě a místy každý na vlastní pěst – už tuší, že v kraji Skåne řádí šílený mozek zviditelňující se zápalnými oběťmi.

Audiokniha: Drastické ozvuky sálajících nepokojů v Africe 90. let pocítí i obyvatelé chladného severu. Komisař Wallander vyšetřuje zmizení realitní makléřky Louisy Åkerblomové, aniž by našel jakékoli vysvětlení či motiv. Policista tuší, že vzorná manželka a matka zřejmě už není mezi živými. Nemůže však vědět, že její zabití souvisí s politickým děním a plánovaným pokusem o vraždu Nelsona Mandely v Jihoafrické republice. Třetí případ existenciálně uvažujícího detektiva v podání Jiřího Vyorálka se opět dotýká společenského kontextu doby - tentokrát jihoafrického apartheidu či přesunu bývalých členů KGB po rozpadu Sovětského svazu do řad mafie či služeb nových "zaměstnavatelů". Velkou špionážní zápletku přenáší Mankell z horkého kontinentu na malou plochu kraje jižního Švédska, kde se spiklenci jakoby mimochodem dopouštějí brutálního násilí.

Audiokniha: Jak to vlastně všechno začalo? Mnohé fanoušky série o komisaři Kurtu Wallanderovi zajímalo, co se dělo před 8. lednem 1990 – tedy před oním časným zimním ránem v Ystadu, kdy tenkrát téměř třiačtyřicetiletého policistu vzbudil telefonát na začátku Vrahů bez tváře. Pětice poutavých příběhů tvořících tento soubor poodhaluje pár střípků z komisařovy minulosti, které se jeho stvořitel uvolil pustit do světa. Jaký případ byl Kurt nucen řešit coby jednadvacetiletý pochůzkář v Malmö? Kdo ho omráčil a spoutal na benzinové pumpě o Štědrém večeru roku 1975? A proč se mu vlastně rozpadlo manželství? Sledujte, jak začínající vyšetřovatel hledá cestu k sobě samému nejen v oboru kriminalistiky, kde osvědčuje metodický přístup a skvělou intuici, ale i jako pěšák života zakoušející radosti i strasti.

Audiokniha: Už zase bojuje sám se sebou, bolestněji než dřív. Ovšem buldoci se nevzdávají! Se šedesátkou se na práh Kurtova domu dostavilo stáří a drze se ptá, jestli je přichystaný. Někdejší samotářský šéf ystadské kriminálky, přežívající v Löderlupu jen se svým psem, čelí návalům zmaru, příznakům cukrovky a výpadkům paměti, což ohrožuje jeho setrvání ve sboru. Nicméně znamenitá intuice i přes hrozbu počínající demence zůstává: ve střehu ji drží případ vysloužilého námořního kapitána Håkana von Enkeho, nastávajícího tchána jeho dcery a druhého dědečka Kurtovy vnučky, jenž v dubnu 2008 zčistajasna zmizel ze své stockholmské vily. Už v zájmu nejbližších, kteří jsou teď Wallanderovi jedinou oporou, se detektiv neoficiálně přidává ke kolegům z hlavního města a s buldočí metodičností pátrá, co se mohlo stát. Okolnosti kauzy však obklopuje děsivé ticho jako v ponorce, jíž neklidný příbuzný velel za dob studené války. A když záhadně zmizí i Håkanova žena Louisa, je zaděláno na aféru podrývající základy švédského státu… Wallanderův jedenáctý případ dostává obzvlášť aktuální náboj v souvislosti se začleněním neutrálního Švédska do NATO. „Poslední a nejtragičtější případ komisaře Wallandera.

Who was Jacques Derrida? For some, he is responsible, at least in part, for the contemporary crisis of truth. For the far right, he is one of the architects of Cultural Marxism. To his academic critics, he reduced French philosophy to ‘little more than an object of ridicule’. For his fans, he is an intellectual rock star who ranged across literature, politics, and linguistics. In An Event Perhaps, Peter Salmon presents this misunderstood and misappropriated figure as a deeply humane and urgent thinker for our times. Accessible, provocative and beautifully written, this biography will introduce to a new readership to the life and work of a philosopher whose influence over the way we think will continue long into the twenty-first century.

In the early 1850s, during the twilight of the Qing dynasty, word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces. The leader of this movement - who called themselves the Taiping - was Hong Xiuquan, a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and the brother of Jesus Christ. As the revolt grew and battles raged across the empire, all signs pointed to a Taiping victory and to the inauguration of a modern, industrialized and pro-Western China. Soon, however, Britain and the United States threw their support behind the Qing, rapidly quashing the Taiping and rendering futile years of bloodshed. In Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom, Stephen Platt recounts the events of the rebellion and its brutal suppression in spellbinding detail. It is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of a movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China into the modern world.

A new translation of two essential works on Deleuze, written by one of his contemporariesThis edition makes a new translation of two of Zourabichvili''s most important writings on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze available in a single volume. Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event (1994) is an exposition of Deleuze''s philosophy as a whole, while the complementary Deleuze''s Vocabulary (2003) approaches Deleuze''s work through an analysis of key concepts in a dictionary form.From the publication of Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event to his untimely death in 2006, François Zourabichvili was regarded as one of the most important new voices of contemporary philosophy in France. His work continues to make an essential contribution to Deleuze scholarship today, and this new translation is set to become an event within Deleuze Studies for many years to come.

2023 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Gay Memoir/Biography "Makes the case that we should consider Gerber not an asterisk, but a forefather of the gay-rights movement—one who would influence later generations of activists."—The Atlantic Born in 1892 in Germany, Henry Gerber was expelled from school as a boy and lost several jobs as a young man because of his homosexual activities. He emigrated to the United States and enlisted in the army for employment. After his release, he explored Chicago’s gay subculture: cruising Bughouse Square, getting arrested for “disorderly conduct,” and falling in love. He was institutionalized for being gay, branded an “enemy alien” at the end of World War I, and given a choice: to rejoin the army or be imprisoned in a federal penitentiary. Gerber re-enlisted and was sent to Germany in 1920. In Berlin, he discovered a vibrant gay rights movement, which made him vow to advocate for the rights of gay men at home. He founded the Society for Human Rights, the first legally recognized US gay-rights organization, on December 10, 1924. When police caught wind of it, he and two members were arrested. He lost his job, went to court three times, and went bankrupt. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A new collection of essays grappling with identity and memory, from a master of the form. The author of the New York Times bestselling novel The Gates of the Alamo, the sweeping Texas history Big Wonderful Thing, and decades of incisive journalism, Stephen Harrigan is an adept writer skilled in crafting memorable characters. From this singular voice now comes a collection of essays tackling the most personal, and yet most expansive, themes of all: identity, memory, and time itself. An Anchor in the Sea of Time unfolds individual stories but also a larger narrative about the development and distortions of history. In one essay, a painting on his grandparents’ wall is seared in Harrigan’s young mind. In another, a group trip to Vietnam stirs up a sobering confrontation with class privilege among Americans who fought there and others, like Harrigan, who did their best not to. The award-winning essay “Off Course” reflects on the father Harrigan never met. And Harrigan’s reporting about the Karankawas, an Indigenous group from the Texas coast once thought to be extinct, takes readers deep into the recesses of collective forgetting and offers glimpses of the possibility of recovery.
