He tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne that after three books he’s splitting and their deal is over. The truth is that Anthony has other things on his mind. His new play, a thriller called Mindgame, is about to open at the Vaudeville Theater in London’s West End. Not surprisingly, Hawthorne declines a ticket to the opening night. The play is panned by the critics. In particular, Sunday Times critic Margaret Throsby gives it a savage review, focusing particularly on the writing. The next day, Throsby is stabbed in the heart with an ornamental dagger which turns out to belong to Anthony, and has his fingerprints all over it. Anthony is arrested by an old enemy . . . Detective Inspector Cara Grunshaw. She still carries a grudge from her failure to solve the case described in the second Hawthorne adventure, The Sentence is Death, and blames Anthony. Now she’s out for revenge. Thrown into prison and fearing for both his personal future and his writing career, Anthony is the prime suspect in Throsby’s murder and when a second theatre critic is found to have died in mysterious circumstances, the net closes in. Ever more desperate, he realizes that only one man can help him. But will Hawthorne take the call?

Translated by Yuan Shibing and J.J.L.Duyvendak. With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history.Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured.The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written.They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.

A splendid reimagining of key stories from the Bible, by the author of The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony. A man named Saul is sent to search for some lost donkeys and on the way is named king of his people. The queen of a remote African realm travels for three years with her multitudinous retinue to meet the king of Jerusalem and pose him a few riddles. A man named Abraham hears a divine voice speaking words that reverberate throughout the Bible: 'Go away from your land, from your kindred and from the house of your father toward the land that I will show you'. In The Book of All Books, Roberto Calasso weaves together stories of promise and separation from one of the founding texts of Western civilisation. These tales of grace and guilt, of the chosen and the damned, cast many Biblical figures and indeed the whole book in a light as astonishing as it is disquieting. The Book of All Books is part of a larger work which began with The Ruin of Kasch (1983) and includes The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, Ka, and The Celestial Hunter.

Než fakt, že jeho máma je vážně nemocná, táta kdesi za mořem s novou rodinou a na něj zbyla jenom upjatá babička, s níž si nerozumí. Když se teď rozhádal se svou nejlepší kamarádkou, nezbyl nikdo, komu by mohl říct, že se mu ve škole spolužáci buď vyhýbají pohledem, nebo ho šikanují. Proč by se měl bát tajuplného přízraku z dávných časů, ukrývajícího se v podobě starého stromu za domem, který tvrdí, že ho sám zavolal? Přichází proto, aby Conorovi vyprávěl tři příběhy. Na oplátku ale něco chce. Tu nejnebezpečnější věc ze všech. Chce slyšet pravdu. Filmová adaptace příběhu plného temně pohádkové atmosféry vstoupila do českých kin 30. března 2017. Patrick Ness (* 1971) Americko-britský spisovatel a novinář se narodil na vojenské základně Fort Belvoir ve Virginii, kde jeho otec působil jako výcvikový instruktor americké armády. Studoval anglickou literaturu na Univerzitě Jižní Kalifornie. První povídka mu vyšla roku 1997 v časopise Genre. Vyučoval tvůrčí psaní na Oxforské univerzitě a působil jako redaktor v Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph a Guardian, kam píše recenze dodnes. Celosvětovou čtenářskou popularitu mu přinesla sci-fi série Chaos, na níž navázal několika různorodými texty, které však spojuje autorův nezaměnitelný rukopis: suverénní vypravěčství, obsahová hloubka a dotyk nadpřirozena. Román Volání netvora (Slovart, 2017) napsal podle námětu zesnulé Siobhan Dowdové a obdržel za ni CILIP Carnegie Medal (cenu CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal získaly také ilustrace Volání netvora od Jima Kaye). Ness je rovněž autorem scénáře filmové adaptace příběhu, kterou režíroval Juan Antonio Bayona (horor Sirotčinec, dvě epizody první řady seriálu Penny Dreadful). Následovaly knihy Něco víc (Slovart 2017) a My ostatní tu prostě žijem (Slovart, 2016). Patrick Ness je rovněž scenáristou nového spin-off k seriálu Pán času. Jan Vondráček (* 1966) K divadlu se dostal během vojny po gymnáziu (účinkoval v Armádním uměleckém souboru). Následovalo studium na katedře alternativního a loutkového divadla DAMU, odchod s celým ročníkem do nově vzniklého Dejvického divadla, účast na mnoha festivalech, řada ocenění a vstup do souboru Divadla v Dlouhé, jehož členem je dodnes. Díky seriálu Mentalista, v němž dabuje hlavní postavu Patrika Janea, je známý i jeho hlas (Cena Františka Filipovského 2010). Filmoví a televizní diváci jej mohli zaznamenat ve filmech Pokoj v duši (2009), Lidice (2011), Příběh kmotra (2013) nebo v seriálech České století (2013), Život a doba soudce A. K. (2014) či Vraždy v kruhu (2015).

Anthony “Ant” Stevenson isn’t sure when he stopped being a virgin. Or even if he has. The rules aren’t always very clear when it comes to boys who like boys. In fact, relationships of all kinds feel complicated, even with Ant’s oldest friends. There’s Charlie, who’s both virulently homophobic and in a secret physical relationship with Ant. Then there’s drama kid Jack, who may be gay and has become the target of Charlie’s rage. And, of course, there’s big, beautiful Freddie, who wants Ant to ditch soccer, Charlie’s sport, and try out for the rugby team instead. Ant’s story of loneliness and intimacy, of unexpected support and heart-ripping betrayal, is told forthrightly with tongue-in-cheek black-bar redactions over the language that teenagers would actually use if, you know, they weren’t in a story. Award-winning author Patrick Ness explores teen sexuality, friendship, and romance with a deft hand in this structurally daring, illustrated short novel.

At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd, whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself, Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.

Nový nádherně ilustrovaný román Patricka Nessa je variací na knihu Bílá velryba. Hlavní hrdinkou je velryba Bathsheba. Spolu s ostatními velrybami narazí na minci s iniciálami T. W. Vedoucí celého hejna Alexandra usoudí, že je tím nejobávanější lidský námořník a lovec Toby Wick vyzývá na souboj. Podle Bathsheby to ale není pravda. Toby Wick je přece pouze mýtus, legenda, kterou si velryby vymyslely. Je totiž nepředstavitelné, aby je nenávidění lidé mohli přemoci v boji. Ale toto není příběh o Toby Wickovi – toto je příběh o hněvu, nenávisti a naší potřebě bojovat až do úplného konce, když už nezbývá nic jiného než čest a smrt.

'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.
