FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982 Eight women. Eight stories. One reality. A woman is born. A woman is filmed in public without consent. A woman suffers domestic violence. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again. Written in Cho Nam-Joo's masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80. Contained in each of these biographies is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old age. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, the fates of these eight women are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo's precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not even herself.

Audiokniha: Poklidné ovzduší St. Mary Mead jednoho dne zcela nečekaně rozvíří vražda... Zatímco nesympatický inspektor Slack umíněně sleduje úplně špatnou stopu, na scénu vstupuje - a to skutečně poprvé - nenápadná stará panna, slavná slečna Jane Marplová. Role okouzlující znalkyně lidských povah, slečny Marplové, se s humorem a roztomilou hravostí zhostila Růžena Merunková. Postavu vypravěče, vikáře Leonarda Clementa, a spoustu dalších postav si s chutí a nadhledem zahrál Otakar Brousek ml. Tématem detektivního románu samozřejmě je rozluštění záhady, jak došlo k odpornému zločinu. Věříme nicméně, že posluchače pobaví vtipný styl, s jakým Agatha Christie charakterizuje postavy tohoto příběhu, k čemuž přispěli notnou měrou také interpreti. Vzhůru do staré dobré Anglie! Čtou: Růžena Meruňková a Otakar Brousek ml.
