Tohle léto nic není, jak by být mělo. Georgina maminka onemocněla a domácnost dostala na povel poměrně protivná paní Sticková.

Jejich dobrodružství baví malé i velké už přes tři čtvrtě století.Komiksového ztvárnění jedné z nejslavnějších sérií literatury pro mládež se pro změnu ujala „správná dvojka", a dost nezvyklá, protože pod pseudonymy Nataël (scénář) a Béja (kresba a barva) se skrývá tým složený z otce a syna!A jak začít jinak než úplně prvním příběhem Správné pětky, který původně vyšel v roce 1942?

Audiokniha: „No dobrá, dobrá,“ chlácholil ji Julián, „taky nepůjdeš sama, půjdeme všichni. Musíme držet spolu.“ Georgina, jíž nikdo neřekne jinak než George, strávila třetinu prázdnin doma na Kirrinu jen se svým psem Timem. Zbytek Správné pětky, její bratranci a sestřenice Julián, Dick a Anna, odjeli na dovolenou s rodiči. Jak radostné bylo jejich shledání, když se po dlouhých týdnech vítali na nádraží. Jejich milá kuchařka Johana si však zlomila nohu, a tak ji na chalupě dočasně zastupuje nepříjemná paní Sticková, s jejímž synem Edgarem se těžce snáší George, zatímco s jejich hafanem Salámem – vlastně Alanem, který jen salámovitě vypadá – si zase nesedl Tim. Jenže pak Georgeina maminka onemocní, tatínek s ní musí do nemocnice a dětem nezbývá než se Stickovými vyjít. Děti radši dovádí na čerstvém povětří, protože na Kirrinu je prostě krásně! Přitom toužebně hledí k ostrovu, kde už toho tolik zažily, nicméně výletu brání neopravený člun. Ale pozor: co se to tam děje? Páni, to je přece kouř! Někdo tam je! Ve třetím příběhu kultovní jednadvacetidílné série, která byla v Británii už třikrát zfilmována a od roku 2011 se natáčí i v německé produkci, musí parta utéct na ostrov. Podaří se jim včas ukrýt před těmi, před nimiž prchají?

SPRÁVNÁ PĚTKA jede tábořit - Enid Blyton - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Může to být strašidelný vlak? Čekali, až se ze tmy vynoří světla lokomotivy jako dvě ohnivé oči… Tohle vypadá na senzační prázdniny: čtveřice kamarádů se psem Timem jede stanovat do vysněné pustiny na vřesovištích! Má na ně dohlížet učitel Luffy, roztržitý milovník hmyzu. „To spíš budeme muset hlídat my jeho,“ šuškají si děti pobaveně o starším muži, který jako by byl věčně duchem nepřítomný. Hned první ráno v tábořišti Annu vyděsí dunění vycházející z podzemí. Ukáže se, že pod vřesovišti vedou železniční tunely, jimiž prý projíždějí turistické vlaky tažené parní lokomotivou. Při bližším průzkumu děti skutečně narazí na koleje, nádraží a staré vozíky, ale tak opuštěné, jako by je nikdo už sto let nepoužíval. A ještě něco je překvapí, nebo přesněji někdo: starý hlídač s dřevěnou nohou a obrovskýma rukama. Nejdřív jim vykládá cosi o strašidelných vlacích přijíždějících bez strojvůdce, pak však celý rozčilený Správnou pětku vyžene. A to není jediné varování, aby se parta místu vyhýbala. Objevují se další podezřelé okolnosti a kamarádům je jasné, že musí přijít záhadě na kloub! Další dobrodružství Juliána, Dicka, George, Anny a psa Tima! V sedmém příběhu kultovní jednadvacetidílné série čelí Správná pětka obzvlášť nebezpečným zločincům. „Doporučujeme všem, kdo mají rádi tajemno, dobrodružství a napětí.“ – The Guardian „Během táborového dobrodružství se Správné pětce dostane cenné lekce o důvěře, přátelství a síle vytrvalosti.“ – medium.com „Jedna z 50 knih, které by mělo přečíst každé dítě do 16 let." – essexbaby.co.uk „Knihy se Správnou pětkou jsou nezbytnou výbavu každé dětské knihovničky." –MadeForMums.com Tma v tunelu byla černější než noc. Zato řinčení a rachocení sílilo a přibližovalo se. Je možné, aby slyšeli zvuky jedoucího vlaku bez toho, aby nějaký vlak skutečně jel? Juliánovi se rozbušilo srdce dvojnásobnou rychlostí. Dick a Jock se k sobě přitiskli, ale vůbec si to neuvědomovali. Rachocení vlaku zesílilo. Znělo teď spíš jako hřmění hromu. Země se pod nimi začala chvět. Najednou z tunelu vyjelo něco dlouhého a černého. Vpředu bylo nejasně vidět nějakou záři. Přehnalo se to kolem nich a zmizelo to ve tmě. Rachot je nejdřív úplně ohlušil, pak ale postupně slábl, až se docela ztratil. Byl to vlak – nebo co to bylo? – ukázka z textu

Audiokniha: Stála tam a nevěděla, co dělat. Má jít dolů a pokusit se najít Tima a otce? Ale když to udělá, může se stát sama vězněm! Děti se tolik těšily na návrat na Kirrin – a teď tam nemůžou! Georgin táta Quentin si v tamní polorozpadlé věži zařídil vědeckou laboratoř a nechce být při svých experimentech vyrušován. Přesto má podezření, že ho na ostrově někdo špehuje. Kdyby jen tušil, jaké nebezpečí mu hrozí! Děti zatím objeví skrytou podzemní chodbu a seznámí se se zakřiknutým klukem Martinem a jeho otcem, panem Curtisem. Dickovi se nelíbí, že se pan Curtis příliš vyptává na pokusy strejdy Quentina i na skalní tunel. Avšak ani ve snu by ho nenapadlo, že Georgin táta má v patách zločince odhodlané získat jeho vynález za každou cenu. Dokonce jsou připraveni vyhodit celý ostrov do povětří! Naštěstí je tu Správná pětka, která okamžitě vyrazí na záchrannou misi. Julián, Dick, George, Anna a pes Tim se vydávají vstříc dalšímu dobrodružství na Kirrinském ostrově. V šestém příběhu kultovní série parta zachraňuje Georgina tátu. „Myslím, že je to úžasná série. Přišlo mi jako velká nespravedlnost, že oni zažívají dobrodružství, a já ne." – Alexander McCall Smith, The Sunday Telegraph. „Nebezpeční zločinci si v ničem nezadají s dětmi a psem. Dospělí jsou k ničemu." – Country Life. Zastavila se. Chodba se náhle rozšířila a vyústila do obrovské temné jeskyně, která byla nečekaně vysoká a plná temných stínů. George se překvapeně rozhlížela. Viděla podivné věcí, kterým vůbec nerozuměla – dráty, skleněné baňky, malé přístroje, které, jak se zdálo, pracovaly zcela nehlučně a uprostřed každého z nich svítilo planoucí třepotavé světélko. Každou chvílí z nich létaly jiskry a po každém takovém zajiskření zaplavil jeskyni podivný pach. „Jak je to všechno zvláštní a tajemné,“ říkala si George. „Jak jen může táta rozumět všem těm přístrojům a ostatním věcem?! Kdybych tak věděla, kde je! Doufám, že ho ti chlapi mezitím někde neuvěznili!“ – ukázka z textu.

Strýc Quentin přesto pohotově vymyslel, kde by si děti mohly užít volno, aby se nemusely vrátit do internátní školy. Domluvil s panem Lenoirem, otcem Dickova spolužáka, že můžou přijet k nim na Pašerácký vršek, který se tyčí nad ostrůvkem Vyvrhel, je obklopen útesy a nebezpečnými močály! Správná pětka se tedy opět pohromadě – i když jen o chlup, protože pan Lenoir nesnáší psy – vrhá vstříc novému dobrodružství, tentokrát posílená o Pierra alias Briketu a jeho sestřičku Marybelle.

The Sleeping Beauties : And Other Stories of Mystery Illness - Suzanne O´Sullivanová
In Sweden, refugee children fall asleep for months and years at a time. In upstate New York, high school students develop contagious seizures. In the US Embassy in Cuba, employees complain of headaches and memory loss after hearing strange noises in the night.These disparate cases are some of the most remarkable diagnostic mysteries of the twenty-first century, as both doctors and scientists have struggled to explain them within the boundaries of medical science and – more crucially – to treat them. What unites them is that they are all examples of a particular type of psychosomatic illness: medical disorders that are influenced as much by the idiosyncratic aspects of individual cultures as they are by human biology.Inspired by a poignant encounter with the sleeping refugee children of Sweden, Wellcome Prize-winning neurologist Suzanne O’Sullivan travels the world to visit other communities who have also been subject to outbreaks of so-called ‘mystery’ illnesses.From a derelict post-Soviet mining town in Kazakhstan, to the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua via an oil town in Texas, to the heart of the Maria Mountains in Colombia, O’Sullivan hears remarkable stories from a fascinating array of people, and attempts to unravel their complex meaning while asking the question: who gets to define what is and what isn’t an illness?Reminiscent of the work of Oliver Sacks, Stephen Grosz and Henry Marsh, The Sleeping Beauties is a moving and unforgettable scientific investigation with a very human face.'To compare any book to a Sacks is unfair, but this one lives up to it.'

Gothic Short Stories - Blair David
Selected and Edited with an Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury.Late in the eighteenth century authors began to write ‘Gothic’ stories as a way of putting literature back in touch with the irrational, the supernatural and the bizarre, which had been neglected in the ‘Age of Reason’.This superb new collection brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales from the period in which Gothic diversified into the familiar forms of the ghost- and-horror-story. Work by writers such as Poe, Dickens, Hawthorne, Gaskell and M. R. James appears alongside that of anonymous writers from the start of the period and many lesser-known authors from Britain and America. Some of these stories, like the haunting ‘The Lame Priest’ are ‘lost masterpieces’ and several have never been anthologised before. Together they cover the spectrum of Gothic story-telling – tales of madness and violence, of shape-shifters and spectres, that express some of the deepest fears of the human mind – insanity, sexuality, death and the often terrible power of the past to catch up with the present.In a lively, authoritative introduction David Blair provides fresh insights and a detailed commentary on the stories’ place in the complex traditions of Gothic writing in British and American literature.
