Proto ochotně přistoupí na dohodnutý sňatek, který má znepřáteleným královstvím přinést mír. Lara ale mír na srdci nemá.

eBook: Jen málokdo se zabývá tím, co cítí tvorové, kteří jsou součástí naší stravy. Autor, švédský profesor etologie, vysvětluje emoční fungování u nejběžnějších druhů hospodářských zvířat – slepic, ovcí, prasat, krav a ryb, aniž by ovšem hodnotil počínání lidí či moralizoval. Tím motivuje k úvahám o tom, zda je dnešní způsob zacházení s hospodářskými zvířaty adekvátní. Píše o rozdílech mezi smyslovým vnímáním u člověka a u zvířat, o zvířecích stresorech, o komunikaci se zvířaty, o tom, co ve zvířatech vzbuzuje příjemné emoce, o široké paletě zvuků, které vydávají, o zvířecí řeči těla, jejich zvířecí identitě i o poměrech ve skupině zvířat. Zamýšlí se také nad odlidštěním našeho vztahu k hospodářským zvířatům či nad problematikou levného masa

''Dick became convinced that Perry was that rarity, "a natural killer" - absolutely sane, but conscienceless, and capable of dealing, with or without motive, the coldest-blooded deathblows''On 15 November 1959, the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, a wealthy farmer, his wife and their two young children were found brutally murdered. Blood all over the walls, the telephone lines cut, and only a few dollars stolen. Heading up the investigation is Agent Al Dewey, but all he has are two footprints, four bodies, and a whole lot of questions.

Všechny tři texty spadají do autorovy tvorby „před“ jeho známějšími – a dodejme, že již vydanými – novelami a romány (mj. Srdce, Žena, Zapadlí vlastenci 1932) a doplňují tak Kocourkovy deníkové záznamy a povídkovou tvorbu z druhé poloviny dvacátých let. Najdeme zde pro autora typické rysy i obsese s prvky často ještě chlapecky naivními. Je ale nutné si vždy uvědomovat, že v době vzniku všech tří próz bylo Kocourkovi sedmnáct let. Nesmírně nadaný spisovatel, umírající na tuberkulózu ve „wolkerovských“ 24 letech, absorboval velmi rychle avantgardní poetiku a doslova vychrlil řadu textů jdoucích ruku v ruce s dobovým nejmodernějším uměním. Evidentní jsou vlivy expresionismu a poetismu, jako je okouzlení městem, často bizarní erotika, podivuhodný exotismus, ale také výrazné motivy sociální a s nimi spojená místy až podivně vyšinutá brutalita a výstřednost jedinců. Kocourkovou smůlou a prokletím bylo dlouhodobé opomíjení a regionalismus, takže jeho dílo bylo známé jen málo. K objevování Kocourka dochází od šedesátých let a trvá vlastně dodnes. Trojice textů je tištěna z dochovaných strojopisů (ed. Michal Jareš) a doplněna studií Jaromíra Typlta.

eBook: What makes a serial killer? There is a huge difference between killers who kill once in the heat of the moment, mass murderers who slaughter many people at once, and serial killers who follow a specific pattern to kill carefully selected victims. A serial killer is an ice-cold predator who enjoys the hunt, is driven by ritual or a particular impulse, and who becomes increasingly dependent on the release that the murder provides. A serial killer's brain demands multiple victims.German killer Volker Eckert was morbidly obsessed with women's long hair. Jeffrey Dahmer achieved sexual release by dismembering people and eating selected pieces. Alexander Pichushkin was preoccupied with chess and decided to murder 64 people, one per square on a chessboard. Finally, David Berkowitz believed that demons ordered him to kill. The stories told here reveal what drives serial killers and how they carry out their murders. The content is violent and gruesome and certainly not for children.-
