In the early hours of Tuesday, 3 April 1888, just after the Easter Bank Holiday, Emma Elizabeth Smith, a middle-aged woman living in unfortunate circumstances, was brutally attacked in a side street off Whitechapel Road. In the crime-ridden East End of late Victorian London, such violence was tragically common. Yet this particular attack marked the beginning of a mystery that would achieve worldwide notoriety: the Whitechapel murders, otherwise known as the Jack the Ripper murders. Unlike the other Ripper victims, Emma Elizabeth Smith survived long enough to recount her ordeal, stating that her attack was not at the hands of a lone madman, but of three men, one possibly as young as 19. Her testimony has often been dismissed, as it does not fit the long-held narrative surrounding the Ripper s crimes. Consequently, Emmaâ ™s story has been overlooked, her suffering disconnected from the infamous murders that followed. This book seeks to reconcile all the Whitechapel murders of 1888 and beyond, offering critical context about the streets where these crimes occurred and the shadowy figure who haunted them. Could Edward Buckley, a violent local thug with a history of knife attacks as early as 1884, hold the key to understanding the Autumn of Terror ?It is time to finally listen to the voice of Emma Smith, the first victim of Jack the Ripper.

Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly are inextricably linked in history.

Londonâ ™s most famous serial killer has been pored over time and again, yet his victims have been sorely neglected, reduced to the simple label: prostitute.

DVD film Tajemné příběhy (3. díl) - Jack Rozparovač, Královští vrazi. Český dabing. Dolby Digital. Zajímavá fakta a teorie o Jacku Rozparovači, a o vrazích synů krále Edwarda IV. Jack Rozparovač Poslední srpnový den roku 1888 je ve východní části Londýna nalezeno tělo zavražděné prostitutky. Tělo je zohaveno a proto vražda budí pozornost, přestože obyvatelé této části města přílišnou přecitlivělostí netrpí a na každodenní zločiny ve svém okolí jsou zvyklí. Když však za devět dnů dochází k další vraždě, spáchané stejným krvavým a krutým způsobem a za dva týdny dokonce ke dvěma vraždám, vzniká v ulicích Londýna panika. Hrůzné podrobnosti těchto vražd, zejména to, že vrah si odnáší suvenýry v ppodobě vyňatých děloh zavražděných, jsou pastvou pro tehdejší bulvární tisk i pro drbny, které se scházejí v ulicích a roznášejí dál zaručené informace a zprávy o tom, kdo by mohl být tajemným vrahem, jemuž dal tisk přezdívku Jack the Ripper - Jack Rozparovač. Během více jak dvou let bylo jedenáct vražd, a pět z nich nese charakteristické rysy jednoho pachatele - jak dnes říkáme - sériového vraha . Podívejme se na vraždy současnou kriminalistickou vědou zaměřenou na profilování zločinu, oběti, místa činu i pachatele. Pokuste se s námi vybrat, z lidí, kteří byli nějak do případu zapleteni, pravděpodobného vraha. Královští vrazi Edvard V. Anglický z dynastie Yorků a Richard ze Shrewsbury, 1. vévoda z Yorku, byli synové Edwarda IV. Plantageneta, zakladatele Yorkské dynastie. Současně byli legitimními následníky trůnu v prvním pořadí, kterého se však zmocnil jejich strýc Richard, který vládl jako Richard III. Anglický. Oba chlapci, třináctiletý a desítiletý, byli internováni v londýnském Toweru. Ten ovšem nebyl tehdy vězením, byla to prostě jedna z královských rezidencí, navíc dosti důležitá, protože z ní vycházely korunovační průvody. Aby si Richard třetí zajistil korunu pro sebe a své potomky, prosadil v parlamentu zákon nazvaný Titulus Regius, který prohlásil chlapce za nelegitimní dědice. Brzy po vyhlášení zákona však chlapci zmizeli. V roce 1674 byly pod jedním ze schodišť Toweru objeveny dvě dětské kostry. Byly to však pozůstatky Edwarda a Richarda? Kostry byly uloženy ve Wesminterském opatství. Když byů hrob zkoumán v roce 1933, byla nalezena jen jedna dětská kostra a s ní několik kostí zvířecích kostí. Za hlavního padoucha byl v době vlády Tudorovců, Jindřicha VII. a Jindřicha VIII., označen, jak také jinak, jejich předchůdce Richard III., jenž byl z konkurenčního rodu Yorků. Zalsoužil se o to politik Thomas More, pozdější lord-kancléř krále Jindřicha VIII.. A později celá plejáda historiků, spisovatelů a dramatiků, nejvýznamnějšího z nich, Williama Shakespeara nevyjímaje. Byl však Richard III., za jehož vlády se anglickému království celkem dařilo, opravdu ničemou, který unesl, či snad nechal zabít dva krásné mladé prince? Nebo to byl někdo, kdo měl na jejich neexistenci minimálně stejný, pravděpodobně však mnohem větší zájem? Ukazuje se, že adeptů je mnohem víc. Seznamme se proto s nově získanými fakty, poraďme se s odborníky a posuďme, kdo byl královrahem.

This highly revelatory book, based on original research and completely new analysis, presents a compelling new suspect as the most notorious serial killer of all time: Jack the Ripper.Using a different analytical approach, for the first time, Sarah Bax Horton identifies a named perpetrator as Jack the Ripper by linking eye-witness accounts of the killer’s distinctive physical characteristics to his official medical records. It argues that his broken left arm, which left him unable to work in early 1888, was one of his triggers to kill as part of a serious physical and mental decline caused by severe epilepsy.This new perpetrator fits the profile as stated by the police of the day: a local man of low class of whom they became aware after the final murder, when they launched an unsuccessful surveillance operation against him. As has never been done before, the author – an experienced former government researcher with specific expertise in research and analysis – formulates a complete analysis of the killer and his methodology, including how he accosted his victims, where he took them to their deaths, his unique modus operandi of a blitz-style attack, and how he escaped from each crime scene without detection.Each of the six murders – from Martha Tabram to Marie Kelly – is discussed and reconstructed as perpetrated by this man, with his escalating violence clearly demonstrated.

A new interpretation of the American Revolution as a transformative monetary contestAmerican money and American democracy have always been in tension, pitting political equality against economic inequality. In Money and the Making of the American Revolution, Andrew Edwards shows how this struggle emerged in America’s founding era. Everyone knows that the founders waged a revolt against taxation without representation. Edwards shows that the dispute over taxes was really a dispute over money: what it was, who could make it, and how to keep it from being used at the expense of the colonists in North America. The colonial rebels refocused their resistance on democratic, local control—defending the power they had used to make money for themselves.Edwards’s narrative spans four continents, linking the problems of money and revolt in early America to the transatlantic slave trade, the disastrous mismanagement of the East India Company in India, and violence against Native Americans. His analysis emerges from the story itself, through the lives of individuals ranging from John Blackwell, Oliver Cromwell s one-time war treasurer, to Thomas Paine, the impassioned pamphleteer of the American Revolution. Edwards argues that as the republican vision of an agrarian, independent monetary system faded, the leaders of the Revolution tied the nation to capitalism and imperialism at its founding. The colonists may have won the battle for representation, but the money that underpinned European empire had established a stronghold in the new republic. Money and the Making of the American Revolution offers both an ambitious new interpretation of the Revolution and a fascinating story about the power of economic ideas.

In ancient tales many marvels are told us ... now you may hear such marvels told! The greatest of the heroic epics to emerge from medieval Germany, the Nibelungenlied is a revenge saga of sweeping dimensions. It tells of the dragon-slayer Sivrit, and the mysterious kingdom of the Nibelungs with its priceless treasure-hoard guarded by dwarves and giants, of Prünhilt the Amazonian queen, fortune-telling water-sprites and a cloak of invisibility. Driven by the conflict between Kriemhilt, the innocent maiden turned she-devil, and her antagonist, the stoic, indomitable Hagen, the story is one of human tragedy, of love, jealousy, murder, and revenge, ending in slaughter on a horrific scale. The work of an anonymous poet of c.1200, since its rediscovery in the eighteenth century the Nibelungenlied has come to be regarded as the national epic of the Germans. It has inspired countless reworkings and adaptations, including two masterpieces: Fritz Lang s two-part film, and Richard Wagner s Ring cycle. This is the first prose translation for over forty years: accurate and compelling, it is accompanied by a wealth of useful background information.

June 1940. Britain is Europe s final bastion of freedom - and Hitler s next target. But not everyone fears a Nazi invasion. In factories, offices and suburban homes are men and women determined to do all they can to hasten it.Throughout the Second World War, Britain s defence against the enemy within was Eric Roberts, a former bank clerk from Epsom. Equipped with an extraordinary ability to make people trust him, he was recruited into the shadowy world of espionage by the great spymaster Maxwell Knight. Roberts penetrated first the Communist Party and then the British Union of Fascists, before playing his greatest role for MI5 - as Hitler s man in London. Codenamed Jack King, he single-handedly built a network of hundreds of British Nazi sympathisers, with many passing secrets to him in the mistaken belief that he was a Gestapo officer. Operation Fifth Column, run by a brilliant woman scientist and a Jewish aristocrat with a sideline in bomb disposal, was kept so secret it was omitted from the reports MI5 sent to Winston Churchill. In a narrative that grips like a thriller, Robert Hutton tells the fascinating story of an operation whose existence has only recently come to light. Drawing on newly declassified documents and private family archives, Agent Jack shatters the comfortable notion that Britain could never have succumbed to fascism, and celebrates - at last - the courage of individuals who protected the country they loved at great personal risk.
