Kniha - autor Stephen King, 170 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy je dalším Kingovým dílem situovaným do fiktivního maineského městečka Castle Rock. Tentokrát se však, na rozdíl od těch ostatních, jedná o poměrně krátkou novelu, napsanou navíc ve spolupráci s Richardem Chizmarem. Na začátku příběhu je Gwendy 12 let. Je to bystrá holčička, která má problémy s nadváhou, s nimiž se dokáže svou vůlí a kázní vypořádat. Jednoho dne ji v parku osloví záhadný černě oděný muž, který jí z neznámých důvodů dá jedinečný a nebezpečný dárek – kouzelnou skříňku s páčkami a různobarevnými tlačítky. Stisknutím páček skříňka vydává buď vzácné stříbrné dolary, nebo nesmírně chutné čokoládičky. Barevná tlačítka jsou destruktivní a symbolizují jednotlivé světadíly, jejichž případné zničení je teď plně v moci Gwendy. Ta postupně začíná chápat, jakou s dárkem převzala zodpovědnost. Po deseti letech je proto ráda, když ji záhadný cizinec téhle...

''A resonant novella set in one of King''s signature locales: the small town of Castle Rock, Maine'' Washington PostThe small town of Castle Rock, Maine, has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told...until now.There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974 twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson takes the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside.One day, while Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground and the chink of an aluminium bat hitting a baseball, a stranger calls out to her. On a bench in the shade sits a man in a small, neat black hat. He offers Gwendy a mahogany box with coloured buttons. The buttons will produce gifts, such as chocolate which can make you slimmer. But he warns her that the gifts will be ''small recompense for the responsibility.''Journey back to Castle Rock in this chilling new novella by Stephen King, bestselling author of The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, and Richard Chizmar, award-winning author of A Long December

The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Devil You Know and leading forensic psychiatrist Dr Gwen Adshead reckons with our attitudes towards violence and punishment.''A bold message.'' Sunday TimesIs violence normal? Is evil ever a useful concept? Does trauma cause it? And can we change violent minds?For Dr Gwen Adshead, these are the most common questions she is asked about her work as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist in secure hospitals and prisons. Her answers are drawn from over 30 years of working with violence perpetrators, and the insights she has gained from listening to the stories of those who have committed acts of violence and cruelty.Adshead pays attention to an aspect of humanity we often find hard to comprehend and invites us to do the same as she considers the motivations, the risk factors, the social roots of violence and the rehabilitation of perpetrators. Compassion is central to Adshead’s approach as she delves into the development of the mind and deepens our understanding of the human capacity for cruelty but also for change. Expanding on her galvanising 2024 Reith Lectures and including a new essay on good mental health, this is a potent, humane and transformative read.**Gwen Adshead''s new book Unspeakable: The Language of Trauma and Healing will publish in February 2026**

Co člověka vede k tomu, aby spáchal strašný násilný čin? Doktorka Gwen Adshead nabízí neotřelý a překvapivý vhled do problematiky násilí a lidské mysli, přičemž vychází z třiceti let vlastních zkušeností na pozici terapeutky pro pachatele závažných trestných činů. Kariéra Gwen Adshead na stránkách knihy ožívá v podobě řady nekompromisních obrazů i díky spoluautorce Eileen Horne.Po boku lékařky a jejích pacientů zjistíme, jaký význam má lidská krutost pro pachatele, ať už jsou to sérioví vrazi, stalkeři, žháři, či sexuální násilníci. Z první ruky uvidíme, jak se mysl může změnit, když lidé, které by někdo mohl označit za „zlé“, přijmou zodpovědnost za své činy a pochopí své uvažování.Výsledky jsou různé a sahají od naděje k zoufalství, od popírání k vyléčení. Dotyční muži a ženy jsou v těchto příbězích vykresleni v celé své složitosti a lidskosti. Kniha nabízí přesvědčivé argumenty pro soucit namísto odsuzování, což je o to podstatnější, protože nyní žijeme v době přeplněných věznic, velkých škrtů v oblasti péče o duševní zdraví a obrovských sociálních problémů.

Red Hot + Blue is a meditation on music’s capacity to find us, transform us, and help us make sense of our historical moment. Blending memoir and cultural history, Garrison recalls his coming out at the height of the AIDS crisis alongside the music industry’s first major response to the epidemic. In 1990, a groundbreaking effort by musical artists sought to combat the silence and stigma about the disease. The resulting tribute album to legendary composer Cole Porter was evocatively titled Red Hot + Blue, capturing both the joy and melancholy that accompany love during turbulent times. It re-imagined those iconic songs — including “Don’t Fence Me In,” “Every Time We Say Goodbye,” “Night and Day” — not just to celebrate the composer but also to offer a shared vision for survival. In this book, Garrison reflects on his own life story through the lens of Porter’s life and music to illuminate the emotional landscape we all navigate in the search for love. Red Hot + Blue returns us to the early 1990s to reveal how the love songs of the past can be revived to speak to new audiences in times of need. The book is the portrait of an album, a pandemic, and a young gay man’s coming of age in the era of both.
