Spring is coming slowly to Sweden - though not quite as slowly as Detective Ulf Varg's promised promotion at the Department of Sensitive Crimes. For Varg, referred by his psychoanalyst to group therapy at Malmoe's Wholeness Centre, life now seems mostly a circle of self-examination, something which may or may not be useful when it comes to the nature of his profession and the particularly sensitive cases that have recently come to light. All in a day's work for Detective Varg, except that one of his new investigations involves fellow detective Anna; it will require every ounce of self-discipline he has in order to remain professional. The other, more curious case is centred around internationally successful novelist Nils Personn-Cederstroem. According to his girlfriend, Cederstroem is being blackmailed - but by whom and for what reason? Accompanied by his irritating but kindly colleague Blomquist, Varg begins his enquiries and soon the answers fall neatly into place. Nothing and no one is ever that simple, however, and not for the first time he learns as much about his own emotional and moral landscape as he does about the motives of others. Now Varg must make a possibly life-changing decision. Will he choose his own happiness over that of his heart's desire?

eBook: Kniha pojednává o osudu řeckých mytologických námětů, postav božských i heroických, daleko na Východě, především v oblasti starověké Gandháry a Baktrie. V abecedně řazeném přehledu jsou zde pojednána jednotlivá základní ikonografická schémata, která si umění těchto oblastí vypůjčilo z helénistického Středomoří. Můžeme srovnat, jak se jednotlivá typická vyobrazení řeckých božstev v průběhu staletí měnila a přizpůsobovala vkusu i představám místního obyvatelstva. Vedle toho se řada původně řeckých mytologických postav i s jejich obvyklými atributy stala, jak je zde názorně ukázáno, základem pro zobrazení různých místních – íránských, indických i jiných – božstev.

eBook: Blízkovýchodní nestabilita se vnějškově manifestuje různými způsoby: krizí vládnoucích režimů, vzestupem politického islámu, terorismu, revolucí, občanských válek či rostoucí migrací a zhroucením řady států. Kniha nabízí výklad kořenů této nestability s pomocí teoreticky původní a empiricky podložené historicko-sociologické srovnávací analýzy. Zatímco ve výkladech vývoje post-koloniálního Blízkého východu dosud dominovaly dvě protichůdné teze – jde o region zaostalý, neměnný a rigidní, nebo naopak proměňující se až příliš rychle – kniha nabízí alternativní perspektivu vycházející z vysoce nerovnoměrného a nesynchronizovaného tempa změn v jednotlivých dimenzích blízkovýchodní modernizace. Dochází zde totiž k (1) rychlé socio-demografické změně (razantní růst populace a podílu mládeže, prudká urbanizace, expanze médií a vzdělanosti), (2) pomalejší, nestabilní a zaostávající změně ekonomické (závislost na exportu ropy, vysoká nezaměstnanost) a (3) pomalé až regresivní změně politické (eroze schopnosti států vládnout, absence demokratizace i liberalizace). Teoretický model studie je vybudován s pomocí kritického čtení teorií modernizace a koncepce rozmanitých modernit, která umožňuje zohlednit také širší kulturně-náboženský a mezinárodně-politický kontext blízkovýchodní nerovnoměrné modernizace. Teoretický model je poté empiricky testován s pomocí časových řad (1960-2010) několika desítek indikátorů, které pokrývají demografickou, sociální, ekonomickou i politickou dimenzi modernizačního procesu. To autorovi umožňuje provádět čtyři typy komparací míry nerovnoměrnosti blízkovýchodní post-koloniální modernizace: (1) blízkovýchodní modernizace a modernizace v dalších post-koloniálních makro-regionech, (2) nerovnoměrnosti jednotlivých fází samotné blízkovýchodní modernizace, (3) jednotlivých států uvnitř blízkovýchodního regionu s důrazem na vzájemné srovnání zemí arabských, (4) post-koloniální blízkovýchodní modernizace s ranou modernizací západoevropskou. Poslední krok analýz představuje přechod od makro-úrovně nerovnoměrné strukturální změny k mikro-úrovni sociálních a politických aktérů a jejich jednání. Jejím výsledkem je identifikace více než padesáti dílčích kauzálních mechanismů, které ve strukturálním rámci nerovnoměrné modernizace generují politickou nestabilitu. Celkově se kniha nesoustředí, jak je často zvykem, na vnějškově sledovatelné politické aktéry a jejich souboje. Nýbrž na pod povrchem politického soupeření probíhající hluboké a dlouhodobé kumulativní demografické, sociální a ekonomické změny. Na změny, které neprobíhají pouze v jednotlivých zemích Blízkého východu, nýbrž jdou od konce 2. světové války napříč celým regionem a dnes ve svém souhrnu dávají vzniknout zcela novému Blízkému východu než byl ten, na který jsme byli dlouhá desetiletí zvyklí.
