Vezměme mladého pobudu, vysaďme ho na osamělé benzínové pumpě kdesi v Kalifornii a začněme větou Z náklaďáku se senem mě vyrazili někdy v poledne. Tíha té věty je obrovská. Plně charakterizuje hrdinu. Zopakujme si tuhle pozoruhodnou větu, a její příběh už neopustíme - leda na poslední stránce. Děj se pod horkým kalifornským sluncem řítí kupředu jako pes po horké stopě, prochází sérií citových zvratů, obviňování a usmiřování, je naplněn neklidnými, intrikujícími a chybujícími lidmi a špatnými rozhodnutími v ovzduší zločinu, chamtivosti a touhy... a lidské přirozenosti. Jak snadno lidé pohřbívají nejvyšší hodnoty, lásku a sounáležitost! Brilantní román, upřímný a čestný, řazený mezi nejlepší literární díla všech dob, inspirovala Zolova Tereza Raquinová a on sám inspiroval Camusova Cizince. A název? Je metaforou spravedlnosti, jež přijde možná až napodruhé.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Andrew Klavan explores how artists imaginative engagement with the darkness can point the way to living beautifully in the midst of a tragic world. Andrew Klavan s book illuminates even as it explores the deepest darkness, finding truth and beauty in art born of unflinching confrontations with evil. --Daniel McCarthy, editor-in-chief, Modern AgeIn his USA Today bestselling The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it.The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history--including the first murder, Cain s killing of his brother, Abel--and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.To make beauty out of the world as it is--shot through with evil and injustice and suffering--is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived. Examining how that transformation occurs in art grants us a vision for how it can happen in our lives.Klavan eloquently argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God s ability to redeem it all.

Isabella Tree, author of Wilding Compelling ... [a] succinct and objective account Financial TimesRewilding is the first popular book on the ground-breaking science behind the restoration of wild nature.As ecologists Paul Jepson and Cain Blythe show, rewilding is a new and progressive approach to conservation, blending radical scientific insights with practical innovations to revive ecological processes, benefiting people as well as nature. Its goal is to restore lost interactions between animals, plants and natural disturbance that are the essence of thriving ecosystems.With its sense of hope and purpose, rewilding is breathing new life into the conservation movement, and enabling a growing number of people - even urban-dwellers - to enjoy thrilling wildlife experiences previously accessible only in remote wilderness reserves. De-domesticated horses galloping across a Dutch Serengeti ; beavers creating wetlands in the British countryside; giant tortoises restoring the wildlife of the Mauritian islands; perhaps one day even rhinos roaming the Australian outback - rewilding is full of exciting and inspirational possibilities.

With a grasp of what changes are actually taking place in the metal the care needed in following the practical processes described becomes understandable and will lead to better and more consistent results. Flame, salt bath and furnace heating are detailed, with information on accurate measurement or recognition of temperature levels. For the average small workshop operative or model engineer the discourses on tool material, hardening and tempering will be of most use, and in this connection this book replaced the author s earlier Hardening and Tempering Engineers Tools, providing a broader-based, more detailed and up to date examination of the subject.

In 2017, Sophie Pierceâ ™s life changed forever when her twenty-year-old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. Thrown into an unimaginable new reality, she had to find a way to survive. By writing letters to Felix â “ composed during walks and swims taken close to his burial place by the River Dart â “ Sophie gradually learned how to live in the landscape of sudden loss, navigating the weather and tides of grief. The Green Hill collects these letters alongside Sophieâ ™s account of the years following Felixâ ™s death, into which she weaves poignant memories of his life. What results is a deeply moving, beautifully captured record of how â “ amid the rivers and rocks of Dartmoor, and in the sea off the South Devon coast â “ Sophie was able to hold on to and nurture her bond with Felix, both in her mind and through a physical engagement with the landscape: actively mourning, rather than grieving. This book is a celebration of the natural world and the role it plays in our lives and relationships, as well as an examination of how beauty, a sense of place and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality. Above all, The Green Hill is one womanâ ™s story of navigating through trauma and loss, and towards a fragile, complicated kind of joy. In The Green Hill, Sophie Pierce writes about the sudden death of her son Felix with an aching and gentle honesty. Struggling to come to terms with the loss not only of the young man he was, but everything that he would eventually become, she finds herself overwhelmed not only by grief, but also by love.

Kuchařské předpisy doplnila mnoha zajímavostmi, například o přípravě a podávání jídel v čase, kdy Agatha Christie své knihy psala, třeba kdy se v letadle poprvé podávalo teplé jídlo nebo jaká byla v Anglii situace ohledně domácího služebnictva za druhé světové války. Po cestě od receptu k receptu poznáte také historii horké čokolády, dočtete se, kdy přišel na svět přístroj na přípravu espressa a jaká je spojitost mezi slečnou Marplovou a marakujou a mezi Agathou Christie a Elvisem Presleym! A jak nás Karen Pierce zábavně provádí „vražednými menu“ Agathy Christie, uvědomíme si, že se temné skutky mohou odehrávat v jakékoli „labužnické“ situaci: u jídelního stolu, na koktejlové party, při neformálním obědě, na narozeninovém večírku, na halloweenské oslavě nebo při odpoledním čaji. Zkuste si vychutnat ústřice Rockefeller z Orient expresu, makarony se sýrem od Rezavé kočky, staroanglický kmínový koláč, velšské koláčky, dokonalý šálek horké čokolády… Ale pamatujte – Recepty k vraždě jsou potravou nejen pro tělo, ale i pro mysl.
