Audiokniha: Vrchní inspektor Armand Gamache dokáže ocenit nejen dobré jídlo a pití, ale především ryzost lidské povahy. Za dlouhá léta, co slouží u quebecké Sûreté, pochopil, že v zárodku každé vraždy se skrývá lidské neštěstí a že k nemyslitelnému činu mohou vést i drobné křivdy, strach nebo malicherná závist, když je v sobě někdo nechá kvasit dostatečně dlouho. Jenže co když k vraždě dojde za „nadpřirozených“ okolností – ve strašidelném domě a při spiritistické seanci? Mohou snad mrtví zabíjet? A co asi viděla těsně před smrtí oběť, má-li v obličeji výraz takové hrůzy, že to šokuje i otrlého zřízence na patologii? Jedno je jisté. Srdeční a rázovití obyvatelé Three Pines při své nevinné, i když možná nerozvážné noční zábavě něco probudili k životu. A to něco teď straší celou dříve tak idylickou vesničku. Gamache čeká nejen měření sil s přízrakem starého domu Hadleyových, ale i vyčerpávající a nerovný souboj se zrádcem mezi svými nejbližšími. „Pennyová umně vykresluje živý obraz kanadsko-francouzské vesničky, jejích obyvatel a moudrého detektiva, který potěší mnoho fanoušků Agathy Christie jako Hercule Poirot 21. století.“ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY „Pennyová je oceňovaná spisovatelka, jejíž smysl pro zajímavé charaktery, malebné prostředí a neotřelé zápletky dalece přesahuje tradiční hranice žánru.“ - LIBRARY JOURNAL „Pennyová stvořila svět, který je chytrý, komplexní a úchvatně napsaný.“ - THE CALGARY HERALD Sedminásobná držitelka Agatha Award za nejlepší detektivku roku!

Audiokniha: Ve Three Pines se zase vraždí. A dokonce o Vánocích. Tentokrát se obětí stala zlá, sobecká, panovačná CC de Poitiers, která si v malebné kanadské vísce koupila „prokletý dům“. Zdá se, že její smrti nelituje vůbec nikdo včetně nejbližší rodiny a že důvod zabít ji měl tady snad každý. Navíc pachatel zvolil naprosto originální způsob vraždy – tak rafinovaný, že dokázal pořádně zamotat hlavu nejen místní policii, ale i vrchnímu inspektorovi Armandu Gamachovi z quebecké Sûreté. Ten však má oproti ostatním jednu velkou výhodu – dobře ví, že aby našel vraha, musí ho nejdřív pochopit. „Vražda je hluboce lidská věc, a to se týká jak zavražděného, tak i vraha.“ Za tuto knihu její autorka získala prestižní cenu Agatha Award za nejlepší klasický kriminální román roku – a její hlavní hrdina přirovnání k legendám: svéráznému Columbovi či jedinečnému Herculu Poirotovi.

An authoritative anthology tracing the history of one of the most important concepts Black people drew on to challenge the brutal, totalizing system of Jim Crow racismThis book brings together a wealth of readings on the metaphor of the ⠜New Negro,⠝ charting how generations of thinkers debated its meaning and seized on its potency to stake out an astonishingly broad and sometimes contradictory range of ideological positions. It features dozens of newly unearthed pieces by major figures such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles S. Johnson, and Drusilla Dunjee Houston as well as writings from Cuba, the US Virgin Islands, Dominica, France, Sierra Leone, South Africa, colonial Zimbabwe, and the United States. Demonstrating how this evocative and supremely protean concept predates its popularization in Alain Locke⠙s 1925 anthology of the same name, The New Negro takes readers from its beginnings as a response to Henry Grady⠙s famous ⠜New South⠝ address in 1886 through the Harlem Renaissance and the New Deal. Opening a fascinating window into a largely unexplored chapter in African American, Afro-Latin American, and African intellectual history, this groundbreaking anthology includes writings by Gwendolyn Bennett, Marita Bonner, John Edward Bruce (⠜Bruce Grit⠝), Nannie Helen Burroughs, Charles W.
