Tento brilantní, strhující thriller od autora románů Moriarty, Dům hedvábí a bondovek Modrý diamant, Navždy a den propojuje klasickou detektivku hodnou Agathy Christie se stejně geniální moderní zápletkou, díky níž se čtenář stává detektivem. Alan Conway je úspěšný autor detektivních románů. Jeho redaktorka Susan Ryelandová s ním pracuje už řadu let a důvěrně zná jeho detektiva Atticuse Pünda, který řeší případy narušující život v ospalých anglických vesničkách. Alanovo tradiční vyprávění je poctou královnám klasické britské detektivky, jako jsou Agatha Christie a Dorothy L. Sayersová a je nesmírně úspěšné. Tak úspěšné, že Susan musí dál snášet jeho problematické chování, pokud si chce svou práci udržet. Když Susan dostane nejnovější Alanův rukopis, ve kterém Atticus Pünd vyšetřuje vraždu v anglickém panském domě Pye Hall, není důvod si myslet, že by se měl nějak lišit od ostatních. Jsou zde mrtvá těla, řada neobvyklých podezřelých a také množství falešných stop a vodítek. Ale čím víc Susan z románu přečte, tím víc si uvědomuje, že mezi řádky rukopisu je ukryt ještě další příběh plný žárlivosti, chamtivosti a bezohledných ambicí, který brzy povede k vraždě. Rafinovaně temný, inteligentní a nemilosrdně napínavý román Magpie Murders je mistrovským pojednáním detektivky ze starých dob. Skutečně brilantní. Moc se mi ta kniha líbila.

Thirty-one new projects by master Parisian interior designer Jacques Grange redefine his visionary talent. Over the course of his fifty-year career, Jacques Grange has designed homes for the world’s most respected collectors, artists, designers, and tastemakers, including Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, François Pinault, Robert Agostinelli, Valentino, Israel Englander, Stavros Niarchos, Terry and Jean de Gunzburg, Lauren and Andres Santo Domingo, Aerin Lauder, Per Skarstedt, and HRH The Princess of Hanover. His classical training at Paris’s École Boulle and École Camondo, his early experience with the French design legend Henri Samuel, and his passion for contemporary art have resulted in a uniquely discerning approach to interior design. Grange’s seemingly natural, “non-designed” aesthetic is revealed through his unusual way of grouping objects, and an unparalleled sense of style and attention to detail. This essential volume illustrates Grange’s wideranging inspirations and exquisite taste through thirty-one new residential projects in Europe and America, from a luxury hôtel particulier in Paris to a chic beachside cabana in Comporta, Portugal, and a midcentury-modern house in Los Angeles. Texts and interviews by Parisian gallerist Pierre Passebon delineate Grange’s approach to design and decoration. Previously unpublished photography by François Halard captures these singular projects with profound sensibility.

Analyzing sex-offense laws and false claims, this book shows that laws based on vengeance rather than justice or evidence create new forms of harm while failing to address the real and pervasive problem of sexual violence.In this timely and extensively researched book, sociologist Emily Horowitz shows how current sex-offense policies in the United States create new forms of harm and prevent those who have caused harm from the process of constructive repentance or contributing to society after punishment. Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems. Sharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that results from dehumanizing and banishing those who have already been held accountable.From Rage to Reason offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offenses became so pervasive and how these myths fostered ineffective policies that have little to do with the reality of most sexual abuse. It argues that to truly prevent sexual abuse, we must unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, debunk these claims in a systematic way, and have frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.

Does that sound extreme? It is not. It is an open door to change.”Mitch helps you “Understand Power” (Day 9), “Give Up One Thing That Causes You Pain” (Day 13), realize “You Are Not Someone Else’s Decision” (Day 27), and confront the question: “Do You Enjoy Suffering?” (Day 26).
