Audiokniha: Anne Beddingfeldová, mladá a inteligentní žena se smyslem pro dobrodružství, se po náhlém skonu otce ocitne v tíživé situaci a přemýšlí, jak naložit se životem. Osud však rozhodne za ni, když se v londýnském metru stane svědkyní podivného úmrtí neznámého muže a nalezne lístek, který mrtvému sebral a poté poblíž místa nehody ztratil jiný, neméně záhadný muž. Brzy poté vyjde najevo, že nešťastná událost patrně souvisí s objevením uškrcené ženy v sídle člena parlamentu sira Eustace Pedlera. Anne se rozhodne přijít celé věci na kloub a stopy i náhoda ji zavedou na loď plující do Jižní Afriky... Muž v hnědém obleku (1924) je první přeložený román Agathy Christie do češtiny (1927). Autorka v něm s humorným nadhledem spojuje styl romantické četby se špionážně-kriminální linkou. Vedle hlavní hrdinky, emancipované a neohrožené dívky Anne se zde poprvé setkáváme s postavou plukovníka Race, kterému dala Agatha Christie prostor i ve svých dalších románech. Příběhu nechybí romantické kulisy, napětí (do poslední chvíle čtenář podezřívá několik postav), rozmanité dějové zápletky a v neposlední řadě všudypřítomný humor.

This includes illustrations, deleted extracts, unused ideas, two unpublished Poirot stories and a lost Miss Marple.When Agatha Christie died in 1976, aged 85, she had become the world''s most popular author. With sales of more than two billion copies worldwide in more than 100 countries, she had achieved the impossible – more than one book every year since the 1920s, every one a bestseller.So prolific was Agatha Christie''s output – 66 crime novels, 20 plays, 6 romance books under a pseudonym and over 150 short stories – it was often claimed that she had a photographic memory. Was this true? Or did she resort over those 55 years to more mundane methods of working out her ingenious crimes?Following the death of Agatha''s daughter, Rosalind, at the end of 2004, a remarkable secret was revealed. Unearthed among her affairs at the family home of Greenway were Agatha Christie''s private notebooks, 73 handwritten volumes of notes, lists and drafts outlining all her plans for her many books, plays and stories.

Audiokniha: Někdo se zrodí pro lásky sladkou moc, jiný se zrodí pro nekonečnou noc... Co přiřkl osud Ellie Goodmanové, závratně bohaté dědičce, která se rozhodla vdát za Michaela Rogerse, z pohledu jejích poručníků naprosto nevhodnou partii? Jaký osud čeká na Michaela, jenž touží po krásném domě? A co osud nadělil Gretě Andersonové, která své svěřence Ellii pomohla uniknout ze zlaté klece? Nad jejich životy se od počátku vznáší stín – místo zvané Cikánský revír, kde se manželé Rogersovi po svatbě usadí, je totiž prý prokleté…Agatha Christie považovala Nekonečnou noc za svůj nejoblíbenější román. Příběh je tentokrát spíš psychologicky laděný, připomíná styl Noir. Christie dokončila Nekonečnou noc za šest týdnů, zatímco většinu ostatních románů psala tři až čtyři měsíce. Přestože jí při psaní bylo přes sedmdesát let, v jednom rozhovoru řekla, že být Michaelem, dvacetiletým vypravěčem, "nebylo těžké. Koneckonců, lidi jako on slyšíte mluvit pořád".Překlad: Eva Hrubá, Režie a záznam zvuku: Daniel Tůma, Postprodukce a mastering: Ing.

During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn't they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans?Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word "outside" when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringAgatha Christie is a global bestseller. Her work has been translated into over 100 languages and adapted for stage and screen. Christie''s writing life ran from 1920 to the 1970s, and she didn''t just write puzzles, she wrote plays, supernatural stories, thrillers, satires, and domestic noir. She also commented obliquely but perceptively on the social and cultural changes of a troubled century. Christie''s work tells the story of a changing Britain, but perhaps her greatest achievement is not to be limited by that national context. Her stories achieve the rare feat of appearing both universal and specific and can seemingly be adapted for almost any context. This Very Short Introduction investigates why the novels of a middle-class, middlebrow Englishwoman were so successful, and why they continue to appeal to such a broad range of readers. Chapters explore the context of Christie''s writing, and the clue-puzzle detective fiction structure at which she excelled, but they also question the familiar assumptions that surround her and what we think we know about her work. Gill Plain examines Christie''s capacity to register the zeitgeist, and consider how her novels reveal anxieties surrounding gender roles, the family, war, justice, ethics, ...
