King Richard - Michael Dobbs

From an acclaimed British author, a sharply focused, riveting account — told from inside the White House — of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a president. In January 1973, Richard Nixon was inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. But by April his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasised into what White House counsel John Dean called ‘a full-blown cancer’. King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate burglars and their handlers in the administration turned on one another, revealing their direct connection to the White House. Drawing on thousands of hours of newly released taped recordings, Michael Dobbs takes us into the very heart of the conspiracy, recreating these dramatic events in unprecedentedly vivid detail. He captures the growing paranoia of the principal players, and their desperate attempts to deflect blame, as the noose tightened around them and the daily pressures became increasingly unbearable. At the centre of this spellbinding drama is Nixon himself, a man whose strengths — particularly his determination to win at all costs — were also his fatal flaws. Structured like a classical tragedy ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy - Stephen King, Richard Chizmar

Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy je dalším Kingovým dílem situovaným do fiktivního maineského městečka Castle Rock. Tentokrát se však, na rozdíl od těch ostatních, jedná o poměrně krátkou novelu, napsanou navíc ve spolupráci s Richardem Chizmarem. Na začátku příběhu je Gwendy 12 let. Je to bystrá holčička, která má problémy s nadváhou, s nimiž se dokáže svou vůlí a kázní vypořádat. Jednoho dne ji v parku osloví záhadný černě oděný muž, který jí z neznámých důvodů dá jedinečný a nebezpečný dárek – kouzelnou skříňku s páčkami a různobarevnými tlačítky. Stisknutím páček skříňka vydává buď vzácné stříbrné dolary, nebo nesmírně chutné čokoládičky. Barevná tlačítka jsou destruktivní a symbolizují jednotlivé světadíly, jejichž případné zničení je teď plně v moci Gwendy. Ta postupně začíná chápat, jakou s dárkem převzala zodpovědnost.

Poslední úkol pro Gwendy - Stephen King, Richard Chizmar

Vyvrcholení trilogie. Když bylo Gwendy Petersonové dvanáct let, dal jí cizinec jménem Richard Farris do úschovy tajemnou skříňku. Nabízela pamlsky a staré mince, ale byla také nebezpečná. Stisknutí kteréhokoliv ze sedmi barevných tlačítek přinášelo smrt a zkázu. O několik let později skříňka znovu vstoupila do jejího života. Jako úspěšná spisovatelka a vycházející politická hvězda byla Gwendy opět nucena vypořádat se s pokušením, které představovala - úžasný pocit pohody vyvážený děsivě temným nutkáním vyvolat katastrofu. Ve třetí, závěrečné knize bojuje Gwendy Petersonová, nyní senátorka Spojených států, s ranými příznaky Alzheimerovy choroby, které se snaží tajit. Ale čeká ji mnohem náročnější úkol, tajná mise, aby zachránila svět. Předchozí díly: Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy (1. díl, 2018), Kouzelné pírko pro Gwendy (2. díl, 2021)

He would be cast into insecurity and exile only to become a royal prince before his tenth birthday.As Richard spends his teenage years under the watchful gaze of his older brother, Edward IV, he is eventually placed in the household of their cousin, the Earl of Warwick, remembered as the Kingmaker; but as the relationship between a king and his most influential magnate breaks down, Richard is compelled to make a choice when the House of York fractures. After another period in exile, Richard returns to become the most powerful nobleman in England.
