THE ENDURING MYTH THAT MAKES US HUMANWhat makes a hero? Who better to answer that question than Lee Child⠦⠘It⠙s Lee Child. Why would you not read it?⠙ Karin Slaughter⠘I don t know another author so skilled at making me turn the page⠙ The TimesIn his first work of nonfiction, the creator of the multimillion-selling Jack Reacher series explores the endurance of heroes from Achilles to Bond, showing us how this age-old myth is a fundamental part of what makes us human. He demonstrates how hero stories continue to shape our world ⠓ arguing that we need them now more than ever.From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling?Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential reading for anyone trying to write or understand fiction. Child teaches us how these stories still shape our minds and behaviour in an increasingly confusing modern world, and with his trademark concision and wit, demonstrates that however civilised we get, we⠙ll always need heroes.

Audiokniha: Bude litovat, že se vrátil? Nebo toho bude litovat někdo jiný? Jack Reacher, bývalý vojenský policista vycvičený rychle myslet a ještě rychleji jednat, se vrací do hlavního stanu své staré jednotky. Chce se tu setkat s novým velícím důstojníkem, majorem Susan Turnerovou, kterou zná jenom po hlase. Tu ale v kanceláři hlavního vedení nenajde. Aby očistil své i její jméno, musí ji co nejdříve najít, zatímco mu je v patách armáda, FBI, washingtonská policie a čtyři brutální hrdlořezové. V roce 2016 vznikla podle tohoto příběhu filmová adaptace v režii Edwarda Zwicka s Tomem Cruisem a Cobie Smulders v hlavních rolích. „Nesází se prvotně na pneumatická kladiva Reacherových pěstí, ale i na jeho důmysl a vynalézavost, s jakými musí vybruslit ze zpropadené situace, do níž se dostal.“ - Roman Lipčík, iLiteratura.cz „Jack Reacher nenechá žádný zločin nepotrestán. Když se navíc takový zločin týká přímo jeho a jeho blízkých, dokáže být v honbě za zločinci ještě vytrvalejší a při jejich potrestání ještě nesmlouvavější.“ – klubknihomolu.cz Lee Child (*1956) Pod pseudonymem se skrývá britský spisovatel akčních thrillerů, vlastním jménem Jim Grant. Po studiu práv pracoval v komerční televizi, později nastoupil jako programový ředitel do manchesterské televize Granada. Když byl v rámci firemní restrukturalizace propuštěn, rozhodl se psát ve stylu amerických thrillerů. Jeho první román o Jacku Reacherovi Jatka získal cenu Anthony v kategorii Nejlepší debut. O Jackovi Reacherovi zatím vyšlo česky v nakladatelství BB art 20 knih. V roce 2012 byl jeho román Výstřel (9. v řadě) převeden na filmová plátna pod názvem Jack Reacher: Poslední výstřel s Tomem Cruisem v hlavní roli. Roku 2016 vznikla druhá adaptace podle dalšího dílu série s podtitulem Nevracej se. Vasil Fridrich (*1976) Absolvoval DAMU, ještě na škole se setkal s režisérem Dušanem Pařízkem, který ho obsadil do role Peachuma v Žebrácké opeře (pod jeho vedením hrál i později, v Divadle Komedie s ním pak spolupracoval na Večerech Analogonu). Během studia také účinkoval v divadelním spolku Kašpar a v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Plzni. V roce 1995 se stal členem CD 94 v Divadle v Celetné.

Audiokniha: Za třicet let ani jedna vražda, a teď najednou pět. To není náhoda… V ospalém městečku Margrave kdesi v Georgii je za vraždu zatčen tulák bez dokladů, bez adresy, bez historie. Jack Reacher je ovšem zkušený vojenský policista, od dětství vychovávaný armádou, vycvičený k tomu, aby rychle myslel a ještě rychleji jednal. A svého bratra Joea nezabil. Aby našel skutečné vrahy všech pěti obětí, nezastaví se před ničím. Jak rozplétá zločinné spiknutí, rozpoutávají se vražedná jatka, ale Jack Reacher ví, že když něco začne, musí to dotáhnout do konce. Seznamte se s Jackem Reacherem! „Mix všeho, co má napínavý příběh mít – zvláštní záhada, krásná žena, drsní záporáci i pár správňáků. Nechybí ani humor – i v situacích, které jsou vážnější, mají postavy tendenci je zábavně a ironicky glosovat.“ – Vasil Fridrich „Vasilovi Fridrichovi se povedlo dobře uchopit příběh plný dynamiky, ve kterém probíhá neustálý boj s časem, protivníky, kolegy z vlastních i vedlejších řad, se základními lidskými potřebami a v neposlední řadě i s emocemi, které Reacher samozřejmě nemá a nesmí mít!“ – naposlech.cz „Výborný styl a pečlivě vystavěný příběh. Násilí je brutální… v takových detailech, které vzbuzují strach a napětí.“ – The New York Times „Jack Reacher nenechá žádný zločin nepotrestán. Když se navíc takový zločin týká přímo jeho a jeho blízkých, dokáže být v honbě za zločinci ještě vytrvalejší a při jejich potrestání ještě nesmlouvavější.“ – klubknihomolu.cz Copyrights: Audiokniha (P) © OneHotBook, 2018.

Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It s not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher—a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose—goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead. It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see . . . where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later . . . where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops—the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded—waits and watches . . . where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return. Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair—against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him—and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that’s killing Americans by the thousand. Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch.

Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu. Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou. O autorovi: Steven Lee Myers je americký investigativní novinář, který od roku 1989 pracuje v listu The New York Times. Od roku 2002 strávil během dvou pobytů více než sedm let jako zahraniční korespondent v Rusku a referoval o druhé čečenské válce, ukrajinské oranžové revoluci, zimní olympiádě v ruském Soči i anexi Krymu. Předtím pracoval jako novinář v New Yorku, Washingtonu a za války v Iráku také v Bagdádu. Nyní se specializuje na zahraniční záležitosti a bezpečnostní témata. Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina je jeho první knihou. Citace: Nový car je strhujícím a nesmírně podrobným životopisem Vladimira Putina, v němž Myers zevrubným, až shakespearovským způsobem vysvětluje, proč Putin jedná právě tak, jak jedná. - Robert D. Kaplan, geopolitický analytik Velmi působivý portrét děsivě mocného autokrata. - Kirkus Review Nový car Stevena Leeho Myerse není prvním Putinovým životopisem, ale do dnešního data je životopisem nejsolidnějším. Uvážlivým a komplexním způsobem odhaluje pravou tvář jednoho z nejuzavřenějších světových vůdců. - Daniel Treisman, The Washington Post Myers předkládá obraz člověka, který přechází od jedné krize ke druhé s jediným cílem: aby z něj vyzařovala síla. Zasvěcený a detailní životopis. - Gal Beckerman, The New York Times Book Review V životopise Vladimira Putina Steven Lee Myers geniálně kombinuje vyprávěcí umění, psychologickou sondu i politickou analýzu. - Nina Lvovna Chruščovová, americká politoložka, pravnučka Nikity Chruščova

Bývalý vojenský policista Jack Reacher dál putuje křížem krážem Spojenými státy. V kapse má roličku bankovek, pas, platební kartu a zubní kartáček. Nikam nespěchá. A nikdy neuhýbá před problémy. A jeden velký ho potká na opuštěné silnici v Arizoně - v podobě džípu nabouraného do jediného stromu v širokém okolí. Ale všechno je jinak, než se na první pohled zdá. O několik minut později míří Reacher do nedalekého města, odlehlé díry u hranic s Mexikem, která má lepší časy už dávno za sebou. Vedle něj sedí Michaela Fentonová, válečná veteránka a později agentka FBI, jež se snaží najít svého bratra dvojče. Nejspíš se zapletl s nebezpečnými lidmi. A Reacher je nejspíš bude muset navštívit. Jejich šéf Dendoncker zanedbanému zapadákovu skrytě vládne. Najít ho je takřka nemožné. Dostat z něj odpovědi bude ještě těžší. A nepřátelští obyvatelé města by radši umřeli, než aby prozradili jakékoliv tajemství. Childův hrdina, bývalý vojenský policista Jack Reacher, se poprvé objevil v románu Killing Floor (č. Jatka, 1999), který měl okamžitě úspěch a autor za něj získal řadu ocenění. Streamovací platforma Amazon Prime Video podle něj letos uvádí osmidílnou minisérii nazvanou Reacher. Počínaje thrillerem Ochránce píše Child reacherovskou sérii spolu se svým bratrem Andrewem.

Audiokniha: Jack Reacher na speciální misi v utajení. Podaří se mu odhalit všechny přetvářky a kšefty dřív, než začne jít do tuhého?Někdejší vyšetřovatel vojenské policie Jack Reacher se omylem přichomýtl k únosu mladíka z prominentní rodiny. V průběhu zběsilého zátahu vystřelí ránu, která se zavrtá do hrudníku přibíhajícího policisty, a tak se musí urychleně zdekovat. Vše ale nasvědčuje tomu, že měl přece jen štěstí v neštěstí. Sotva se mladíkův otec – obchodník s orientálními koberci a zároveň velmi vlivný muž – dozví, že mu Jack zachránil syna, přijme ho do svých služeb. Ve zbohatlíkově sídle se však brzy ukáže, že zboží, s nímž se tu obchoduje, není ve skutečnosti ani trochu nevinné. A situace povážlivě zhoustne, jen co vyjde najevo, že ani Reacherova přítomnost v bedlivě střeženém bossově domě není náhodná…Sedmý díl bestsellerové série s hrdinou ostřejším než břitva vás tentokrát zavede do krvelačného prostředí nelegálních obchodů.„Dovedná směsice sexu, násilí, sadismu, zbraní, špionů, pašeráctví, pomsty, klamu, napětí a neutuchající akce!“ – The Washington Post„Tahle knížka vás chytne a nepustí.

Audiokniha: Jestli Jack tuhle šňůru zmizení a nešťastných náhod nerozmotá, přijde řada na něj… Na kalifornskou poušť spadlo z nebe něco nečekaného – a nebyl to déšť ani meteorit, nýbrž chlápek s přelámanými hnáty, kterého kdosi vystrčil z helikoptéry. A o pár dní později přistane cosi neobvyklého i na účtu někdejšího důstojníka vojenské policie Jacka Reachera. Ve výši částky se skrývá volání o pomoc, zapsané tajným kódem. Reacher tedy urychleně vyhledá starou známou Frances Neagleyovou, která na něj naléhá, aby po letech svolali starou vyšetřovatelskou partu. Jeden z nich totiž navěky leží v kalifornském písku, a jestli se Frances neplete, i zbylá šestice vězí v pořádné bryndě. Pomoct jim může jedině Jack a jeho pěsti… V jedenáctém případu bude ke všemu odhodlaný Reacher potřebovat nejen zaťatost, ale hlavně pořádnou dávku štěstí. Protivníci jsou tentokrát výjimečně ostří hoši a neštítí se ničeho… „Volný pád jede v kolejích přímočaré logiky, díky níž je reacherovská série tak opojně návyková.“ – Janet Maslin, The New York Times. „Kniha funguje jako perfektní jednohubka plná Childových strohých výpadů na život a na smrt. Jenže i když je jeho Reacher přinucen být osobní, nesklouzne do slaďáku.“ Entertainment Weekly. „Snad existují i akční spisovatelé s vyhraněnějším stylem než Child, ale žádný z nich nedokáže naplnit stránky tak divokou zápletkou, skvělými charaktery a svižným tempem.“ – Kirkus Reviews. „Autor čtenáři ukazuje, že ani Reacher se necítí být nesmrtelný (…).

Audiokniha: Atraktivní, draze oblečená snědá třicátnice, která zrovna vyšla ze dveří čistírny, zápasila s devíti plastovými obaly na kostýmy – vypadalo to, že má zraněnou nohu. Jack Reacher zareagoval na její prosebný pohled, vzal od ní oblečení a podal jí také hůl, kterou předtím upustila. Poté ženě nabídl rámě, které zdráhavě přijala. Cestu jim však zatarasili čtyři dobře živení běloši, kteří obědvali v malém stánku s občerstvením. Zanedlouho už oba seděli spoutaní ve velkém černém sedanu a z centra rušného Chicaga, odkud byli uneseni za bílého dne, uháněli napříč Amerikou k neznámému cíli. Reacherova společnice má možná větší cenu, než si Jack – bývalý důstojník vojenské policie – myslel. Jinak by snad únosci nepožadovali tak nemožné výkupné. Reacher se ji (a samozřejmě i sebe) každopádně pokusí zachránit! „Naprosto strhující příběh vyprávěný autorem, který nechybuje.“ – Rocky Mountain News. „Zuřivě napínavé.“ - Kirkus Reviews. „Drsné, elegantní a promyšlené.“ - Robert B.

Audiokniha: Když to nejde po dobrém, ať promluví pěsti. Jen pokud možno ne bezhlavě… Někdejší důstojník vojenské policie Jack Reacher by si zřejmě v roli vyhazovače dál lebedil v barech a stripklubech floridského Key Westu, kdyby ho tam nevyčmuchal jistý Costello. Jackovi se sice povedlo dotěrné soukromé očko setřást, jenže znáš to: vyhodíš drzouna dveřmi a vrátí se ti oknem. V tomhle konkrétním případě vyplave jako mrtvola s uřezanými konečky prstů, a tak je třeba neprodleně vyrazit po horké stopě. Vyšetřovatel s vervou buldoka se ale vzápětí zamotává do pavučiny vztahů, které mu připomenou neblahou minulost. Co měl se zamordovaným otrapou společného zrovna generál Garber, Reacherův bývalý nadřízený a mentor? Skutečně ve Vietnamu jeho vinou zemřel syn jedněch podvedených rodičů? A jak do krvavé skládanky zapadá nelítostný lichvář Hook Hobie? Ve třetím šťavnatém případu se Jack žene za grázly tempem přímo zběsilým. Rozhodně se mu však vyplatí vzít v potaz, že tentokrát ho nespasí jen přesně mířené kopance… „Čtenář je udržován ve střehu parádně svižně. Přetahovaná mezi Reacherem a Hobiem ho nenechá na okamžik vydechnout a parádní finále mu prostě vyrazí dech.“ – The Denver Post. „Napínavý a svižný thriller, který dává pojmu ‚kniha na jedno posezení‘ nový rozměr.“ – Michael Connelly. „Dráždivé a napínavé čtení.“ – Booklist. „Nestydatě jednoduchý, a přitom neuvěřitelně zábavný Reacher.“ – Kirkus Reviews.
