5x Tom Ripley (Patricia Highsmithová-Jan Vondráček) (MP3-CD) - rozhlasová dramatizace

Patricia Highsmithová - 5x Tom Ripley. Nenávidí zločin, pokud ho k němu jeho ctižádost nedonutí. Audioverze úspěšných detektivních románů Patricie Highsmithové. První román s postavou Toma Ripleyho vydala Patricia Highsmithová v roce 1955 a dala mu název, pod nímž by si čtenář mohl spíše představit životopisnou knihu o nějakém neznámém umělci než detektivku. Talentovaný pan Ripley. Už ten název byl ironickou provokací autorky, která svým životem, názory a skutky provokovala, ba někdy šokovala své okolí. Ty talenty, kterými oplýval malý podvodníček Tom táhnoucí svou bezvýznamnou existenci ze dne na den v ušmudlaném newyorském podnájmu, nebyly totiž žádné povznášející a ušlechtilé schopnosti. Naopak, jestli Tom v něčem skutečně vynikne, pak je to lež, přetvářka, cynismus a zločin. Highsmithová svého antihrdinu provede postupnou proměnou: ze zamindrákovaného mladíčka se vyklube prohnaný parazit šikovně využívající svou známost s mladíkem z milionářských kruhů, posléze nelítostný zločinec vraždící s rozmyslem a z prospěchu a nakonec hotový mistr převleku, který bez sebemenších potíží falšuje svoji identitu. Kdysi toužil po kariéře herce a nyní může konečně svou touhu uskutečnit, s tím rozdílem, že jevištěm je mu sám život. Romány s Tomem Ripleym nejsou detektivky v pravém slova smyslu, ale spíše příběhy o zločinu. Highsmithová nadaná uměním psychologizace, jímž ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, Ripley's Game - Patricia Highsmithová

Three classic crime novels by a master of the macabre – The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, and Ripley''s Game – appear here together in hardcover for the first time. Suave, agreeable, and completely amoral, Patricia Highsmith’s hero, the inimitable Tom Ripley, stops at nothing – not even murder – to accomplish his goals. In achieving the opulent life that he was denied as a child, Ripley shows himself to be a master of illusion and manipulation and a disturbingly sympathetic combination of genius and psychopath. Sent on a mission to Italy to coax an irresponsible young playboy back to his wealthy father in America, Ripley finds himself so fond of the young man that he sets out to be like him – exactly like him. The precarious charade that ensues is the first step to a life of elegance and ease – and perpetual danger. As she leads us through the mesmerizing tangle of Ripley’s deadly and sinister games, Highsmith turns the mystery genre inside out and takes us into the mind of a man utterly indifferent to evil.

Years later in England, Florence has become the woman her friend knew she could be – creative, bold, and independent. The exact opposite of Alice, a young woman troubled by a recent trauma, whom Florence is determined to help bring out of her shell. Just as Lilli once did for her. When Florence discovers that the novel she’s reading is written by Lilli and is based on their time at school, the two stories begin to unfold together.

Patricia Brent, Spinster

“Patricia Brent, Spinster” by Herbert Jenkins is a delightful romantic comedy that satirizes social norms and expectations. The story centers on Patricia Brent, a vibrant and independent woman who is labeled an old maid by her society. Frustrated by the condescending sympathy of those around her, Patricia creates a fictitious fiancé to deflect their pity and assert her autonomy.As Patricia's fictional engagement spirals out of control, she finds herself entangled in a series of humorous and unexpected situations. Her clever ruse leads to genuine romantic entanglements, as the invented fiancé takes on a life of its own. The novel explores themes of independence and self-assertion.Jenkins' witty and charming narrative highlights Patricia's struggle to live on her own terms, blending romance and comedy to create an engaging and entertaining read. The story reflects the comedic potential of misunderstandings and the pursuit of true love amidst social expectations. Patricia's fabricated engagement serves as a commentary on the ridiculousness of the societal obsession with marriage and the notion that a woman's worth is defined by her marital status and these interactions underscore the often superficial nature of societal judgments and the freedom found in challenging them.

The Sunday Times Bestseller Shortlisted for the Book of the Year - British Book Awards 2025 Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her life-long passion for gardening.Through the pages of this gift book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits.Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises.

If loving him is wrong, I don’t want to be right’ Erin KellyJOE GOLDBERG IS BACK, AND THIS TIME HE'S WRITING HIS OWN HAPPILY EVER AFTER . . . Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he’s writing them. And he’s off to a good start. Invited to join a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard, Joe thinks he’s finally found a place where talent matters more than pedigree. Where anything is possible, even happy endings. At least until he meets his uber-privileged, already-published, already-distinguished peers. Thankfully, Wonder enters the picture. They have so much in common: no college degrees, no pretensions, just a love for literature. They could be those rare literary soulmates who never fall prey to their demons. If only Wonder could just commit herself to the writing life. But Joe has faith in Wonder. He will sacrifice his art for hers. And, if he must, he will kill her darlings for her. With her trademark biting wit, Caroline Kepnes explores why vulnerable people bring out the worst in others as Joe sets out to make this small, elite world a fairer place. And if ...
