Kniha přináší interpretaci dvojice indoevropských mytologických témat s důrazem na jejich komplexní historický a sociálně-kognitivní kontext. Zvolený přístup umožňuje jak přehodnotit tradiční interpretaci všeobecně známého mytologického cyklu, tak i zároveň uvést mytologické téma dosud neuchopené. V první časti knihy je diskutována látka indoevropského stvořitelského mýtu. Závěrem je tvrzení, že protoindoevropský kulturní prostor pravděpodobně vznikl jako důsledek předhistorického kargo kultu. Předprotoindoevropští lovci-sběrači reagovali na příchod afroasijských farmářů způsobem připomínajícím chování moderních domorodých populací, náhle konfrontovaných s přítomností západního industriálního světa. Z toho důvodu jsou stěžejní témata a motivy indoevropského stvořitelského mýtu interpretovány jako možné relikty ideologie předprotoindoevropského kargo kultu. Druhá část knihy je věnována vymezení nové indoevropské mytologické struktury, takzvaného mýtu o honu na čarodějnice. Prostřednictvím analýzy rozličných lokálních podob příběhu o konfliktu elity s démonickým vojskem vedeným čarodějnicí je identifikován základní vzorec tohoto narativu. Jeho sémantika je následně interpretována jako produkt sociálních a rodových nastavení archaických indoevropských společností.

Osobité vzpomínkové vyprávění o archeologických výpravách na Blízký východ, kterých se královna detektivek zúčastnila ve třicátých letech minulého století společně se svým manželem Maxem Mallowanem. Barvité líčení každodenních, občas humorných a leckdy i napínavých zážitků – dokumentované poprvé v českém vydání i řadou autentických fotografií – nabízí jedinečnou možnost poznat důležitou etapu života geniální spisovatelky i dobové prostředí vědeckých expedic zkoumajících dějiny lidstva v tehdy ještě málo poznaných koutech světa.

Audiokniha: Jednoho úterního večera zavítá do postaršího domku v anglické vesničce St. Mary Mead pět různorodých osob – mladý spisovatel, umělkyně, penzionovaný komisař ze Scotland Yardu, místní farář a advokát. Přijmou pozvání jisté laskavé starší dámy a v její společnosti se pokusí týden co týden rozluštit nějakou nevyřešenou záhadu, kterou postupně převypráví každý ze zúčastněných. Ač jde o zapeklité případy, je to právě nenápadná, ale velice bystrá hostitelka, kdo si s nimi nakonec poradí.

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.
