Audiokniha: „Ne, nemyslím si, že jde o šílence,“ opakoval Maigret. V dopise doručeném na nábřeží Zlatníků se píše, že v nejbližší době zřejmě dojde k vraždě. Jeho pisatel sice nesdělí žádné další podrobnosti ani o sobě, ani o případné oběti, přesto v něm však úmyslně jistou stopu zanechá. Pátrání dovede komisaře Maigreta do přepychového bytu v luxusní čtvrti, ve kterém je nynějším pánem advokát Parendon. Ne každému z jeho domácnosti jsou ale Maigretovy návštěvy po chuti a ne všichni s ním, zdá se, hovoří na rovinu. Podaří se nakonec komisaři zabránit předem avizovanému mordu? Anebo to celé byl jen nějaký žert? „Jedním slovem skvělé... Simenon je naprosto jedinečným vypravěčem – jeho psaní je doslova návykové.“ – The Observer. „Všichni jsme potenciálními postavami v románu – s tím rozdílem, že postavy v románu skutečně prožijí svůj život naplno.“ – Georges Simenon.

The first novel which appeared in Georges Simenon s famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn t have a moustache and he didn t wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man. His firm muscles filled out his jacket and quickly pulled all his trousers out of shape.He had a way of imposing himself just by standing there. His assertive presence had often irked many of his own colleagues.In Simenon s first novel featuring Maigret, the laconic detective is taken from grimy bars to luxury hotels as he traces the true identity of Pietr the Latvian.This novel has been published in previous translations as The Case of Peter the Lett and Maigret and the Enigmatic Lett.

For personal reasons, or for reasons I don t know myself, I began feeling old, and I began keeping notebooks. I was nearing the age of sixty Georges Simenon s autobiographical notebooks, in which he recorded his observations, experiences, anxieties and all the silly ideas that pass through my head , are one of the most candid self-portraits of a writer ever put to paper. Here, as the celebrated author ruthlessly examines his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his fears of ageing, the result is an unsparing, often painfully revealing insight into a man trying both to find and to escape himself. As revealed in these notebooks, Simenon s is a shrewd, lucid mind ... the balance tips toward the real, the immediate, the mysteries of human complexity above all ...

Audiokniha: Nový případ, který vůbec poprvé vychází jako audiokniha! Jednoho únorového dopoledne vyruší komisaře na stanici podivný telefonát. „Odpusťte, prosím… Mé jméno by vám nic neříkalo. Neznáte mě, ale znal jste mou ženu Ninu… Haló! Musím vám to všechno říct strašně rychle, protože on možná přijde…“ Vyděšený mladý muž přebíhá postupně po Paříži ze sklípku do bistra, odtud do restaurace a z hospody do kavárny, čímž se snaží setřást své pronásledovatele a z každého zařízení volá na policii z místního telefonního aparátu. Je si totiž jistý tím, že ho sleduje někdo, kdo ho má v úmyslu zabít. Jakkoli absurdně to zní, podivná naléhavost v hlase volajícího přiměje Maigreta vzít situaci vážně. Vydává se po stopách telefonátů a zapojído pátrání celé své oddělení, přesto však nedokáže vraždě zabránit. Brzy zjistí, že tato smrt souvisí s jinými násilnými činy ve městě, kterých se dopouští organizovaná skupina. Mohlo by jít o imigranty? Možná jsou dokonce z Československa... Georges Simenon (1903–1989) Napsal více než 200 románů a 150 povídek a díky postavě komisaře Maigreta se stal jedním z nejznámějších frankofonních spisovatelů.

První knihu, humoristický románek, napsal ve svých osmnácti letech, poté se odstěhoval do Paříže, kde mu pak 10 let vycházely pod různými pseudonymy sešitové psychologické romány. První detektivku napsal pod svým skutečným jménem v roce 1930 – už v ní se objevuje postava rozšafného a zdvořilého, převážně nabručeného Pařížana, komisaře Maigreta. Poslední případ Maigret vyřešil v roce 1972. Simenonovy romány byly přeloženy do mnoha jazyků a desítky z nich byly zfilmovány.

The fifth book in the new Penguin Maigret series: Georges Simenon s gripping tale of small town suspicion and revenge, in Linda Asher s timeless translation.There was an exaggerated humility about her. Her cowed eyes, her way of gliding noiselessly about without bumping into things, of quivering nervously at the slight­est word, were the very image of a scullery maid accustomed to hardship. And yet he sensed, beneath that image, glints of pride held firmly in check. She was anaemic. Her flat chest was not formed to rouse desire. Nevertheless, she was strangely appealing, perhaps because she seemed troubled, despondent, sickly.In the windswept seaside town of Concarneau, a local wine merchant is shot. In fact, someone is out to kill all the influential men and the entire town is soon sent into a state of panic.

Audiokniha: Do tohoto případu se Maigret vykázaný na francouzský venkov zakousl téměř s rozkoší… Zpráva o mrtvole spatřené v domě bývalého soudce je pro slavného detektiva, který byl ke svému nezměrnému zklamání jmenován vrchním komisařem v provinčním městečku Luçon, darem z nebes. Okamžitě se proto vypraví do pobřežní vísky Aiguil, obývané převážně rybáři a pěstiteli slávek, aby v překvapivě honosném prostředí vily rodiny Forlacroixových zahájil vyšetřování mající za cíl odhalit totožnost vraha i jeho oběti. Podaří se mu proniknout do uzavřené komunity, odhalit její dávno pohřbená tajemství a rozkrýt podivné vztahy mezi starým soudcem, jeho horkokrevným synem Albertem a nymfomanií trpící dcerou Lízou? V mistrně vystavěném příběhu s patřičně tísnivou atmosférou dostane komisař Maigret znovu příležitost prokázat svou znalost nejtemnějších zákoutí lidské mysli a schopnost nahlédnout hluboko pod povrch událostí. „Příběh z raného, životně důležitého tvůrčího období Georgese Simenona.“ – The New York Times „Spisovatel, kterému vyhovuje realita stejně jako fikce, vášeň stejně jako rozum.“ – John Le Carré „Jeden z největších spisovatelů dvacátého století... Simenon byl bezkonkurenční v tom, jak nás přiměl nahlédnout do sebe, ačkoli tuto schopnost maskovala jeho brilantnost, s jakou nás obsesivně pohlcoval svými příběhy.“ – The Guardian Vtom uviděli, jak se dveře soudcova domu otevřely. Na prahu se objevil malý neklidný muž, rozhlédl se na obě strany a vrátil se do chodby.Chvíli nato se stalo něco neuvěřitelného. Muž tu byl znovu, ohnutý, obtěžkaný dlouhým břemenem, které táhl bahnem.Musela to být tíha. Po čtyřech metrech se zastavil, aby nabral dech. Dveře domu zůstaly otevřené. K moři to bylo ještě dvacet třicet metrů.„Uf…“Dalo se tušit, že heká a napíná všechny svaly. Nepřestávalo pršet. Celníkova ruka se křečovitě chvěla na Maigretově tlustém rukávu.„Vidíte…!“Ach ano, odehrálo se to tak, jak řekla stařena, jak předpověděl celník ve výslužbě. Ten drobný muž byl bez pochyby soudce Forlacroix. A to, co vláčel bahnem, bylo určitě nehybné lidské tělo!– ukázka z knihy

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the world’s most popular UFC fighter, Georges “Rush” St. Pierre, comes a startlingly honest portrait of a fighter’s journey, highlighting the lessons that propelled his rise from bullying victim to internationally celebrated athlete and champion.There’s more to winning battles than fists and feetFor world-renowned professional fighter Georges St-Pierre, the greatest asset is not physical strength or athleticism—it’s a sense of purpose. From his beginnings as a small, mercilessly bullied child first discovering karate to his years as a struggling garbage collector who spent all his free time in the gym, his hard-fought rise in the sport of mixed martial arts, and his long, painful recovery from a career-threatening injury, Georges never lost sight of his ambition to become the greatest martial artist of all time. In The Way of the Fight, Georges for the first time reveals what propelled him not only to become a champion but to embrace obstacles as opportunities to build character.The Way of the Fight is an inspirational look into the mindset of a master. To Georges, all life is competition, and there’s no more perfect metaphor for competition than the life of a fighter. He explains the value of discipline, risk and even fear, with the wisdom of one who knows that nothing is assured—his next fight could always be his last. Drawing inspiration from fighting legends, Eastern philosophy and a trusted inner circle, The Way of the Fight is a powerful, life-changing guide to living with purpose and finding the way to accomplish your loftiest goals.

This book examines the profound impact of Liberty University, church planting networks, and grassroots mobilization on shaping U.S. policy toward Israel. It explores how Dr. Jerry Falwell, through his leadership at Liberty University and the Moral Majority, built a vast evangelical network that successfully influenced Congress and the White House. The book delves into the political power of Liberty alumni, who established churches across the United States, integrating Christian Zionism into their teachings and mobilizing congregations to support pro-Israel policies.Through archival research, interviews, and policy analysis, the study traces the evolution of evangelical involvement in U.S. politics, highlighting the unique relationship between Falwell and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. It examines how Falwell positioned himself as an advocate for Israel, lobbying for policies such as the relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The book also explores the role of church planting as a political strategy, showing how local religious communities became conduits for mobilizing grassroots support for Israel.By shedding light on the intersection of faith, politics, and diplomacy, this book provides a compelling analysis of how evangelical activism continues to shape U.S.-Israel relations and the broader conservative agenda in America.

Liberty is hardly the 'natural' order of things; usually states have been either too weak to protect individuals or too strong for people to protect themselves from despotism. There is also a happy Western myth that where liberty exists, it's a steady state, arrived at by 'enlightenment'. But liberty emerges only when a delicate and incessant balance is struck...
