The Chalk Circle Man - Fred Vargas

Winner of The Crime Writers Association Duncan Lawrie International DaggerJean-Baptiste Adamsberg is not like other policemen. His methods appear unorthodox in the extreme: he doesn t search for clues; he ignores obvious suspects and arrests people with cast-iron alibis; he appears permanently distracted. In spite of all this his colleagues are forced to admit that he is a born cop.When strange blue chalk circles start appearing overnight on the pavements of Paris, only Adamsberg takes them - and the increasingly bizarre objects found within them - seriously. And when the body of a woman with her throat savagely cut is found in one, only Adamsberg realises that other murders will soon follow⠦⠘The hottest property in contemporary crime fiction⠙ Guardian

The Caucasian Chalk Circle - Brecht Bertolt

The play is a parable inspired by the Chinese play Chalk Circle. Written at the close of World War II, the story is set in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia, and retells the tale of King Solomon and a child claimed by two mothers. A chalk circle is metaphorically drawn around a society misdirected in its priorities. Brecht s statements about class are cloaked in the innocence of a fable that whispers insistently to the audience.

Uteč rychle a vrať se pozdě - Fred Vargas

Komisař Adamsberg se za pomoci svých poněkud neotřelých metod (a též za pomoci poněkud zvláštního kolegy Danglarda) pokouší přijít na kloub záhadě, která jako by se do dnešních dní vyloupla ze středověku. Začíná to celkem nenápadně: nejprve vysloužilý bretonský námořník Joss, jenž na jednom pařížském náměstíčku obnovil pradávné vyvolávačské řemeslo, začne mezi zprávami, které má oznámit světu, nacházet podivné, těžko srozumitelné a temné vzkazy. Poté kdosi na dveře ve vybraných domech čmárá tajemné obrácené čtyřky. A pak se začnou objevovat mrtvoly… V českém překladu už známé případy svérázného komisaře Adamsberga připravujeme v reedicích a v novém grafickém zpracování spolu s těmi, které francouzská historička Frédérique Audouin-Rouzeauová, píšící pod pseudonymem Fred Vargas, pro své čtenáře píše nově.

V mrazivých časech - Fred Vargas

Náš starý dobrý známý, svérázný, sympatický komisař Adamsberg je postaven před nový případ. Na jeho počátku je několik zdánlivých sebevražd, které zaujmou komisařovu pozornost, protože se u každé z nich najde nakreslené prapodivné znamení, naznačující, že věci se zřejmě nemají tak, jak na první pohled působí. Pátrání dovede tentokrát Adamsberga nejenom do vzdálených končin na mrazivý, mlhami zahalený Island, ale také k tajuplné společnosti lidí vyznávajících revoluční odkaz Maximiliena Robespierra, kteří se v dobových kostýmech a parukách scházejí na tajných zasedáních a do slova a do písmene reprodukují průběh někdejších schůzí revolučního Národního shromáždění. Jako i v předchozích knihách staví i zde autorka, profesí archeoložka, svůj příběh na pozadí historických skutečností, v nichž vyšetřovateli, komisaři Adamsbergovi účinně pomáhá orientovat se jeho velmi vzdělaný a bílému vínu holdující major Danglard. Fred Vargas (*1957, vlastním jménem Frédérique Audouin-Rouzeauová) je pseudonym vystudované historičky a archeoložky zaměřené na obor archezoologie. Právě rozsáhlé historické znalosti dokáže výborně využít v zápletkách svých detektivních příběhů, jak o tom svědčí i její zatím poslední román s komisařem Adamsbergem V mrazivých časech. Autorka dokáže skvěle vykreslit psychologii svých postav i mnohdy kuriózní atmosféru prostředí, do něhož své příběhy zasazuje. S komisařem Adamsbergem byly do češtiny přeloženy všechny romány včetně jedné povídkové sbírky, spisovatelka má však na svém kontě i jiné série s jinými vyšetřovateli. Její romány byly přeloženy do mnoha jazyků, získaly četná ocenění a některé z nich byly i zfilmovány; u nás ČT uvedla tituly Neptunův trojzubec, Muž s modrými kruhy, Muž naruby a Obávané místo (knižně Záhada mrtvých nohou).

Neptunův trojzubec - Fred Vargas

Adamsbergův tým odjíždí na stáž do Kanady, kde se má od kolegů z Kanadské jízdní policie učit zpracovávat genetická data, věc na začátku tisíciletí ještě zcela novou. Spolu s policisty se však k řece Otawě zřejmě dostal i přízrak, který Adamsberga pronásleduje od mládí... Po vraždě mladé dívky se hlavním podezřelým stává sám Adamsberg, temnou roli sehrál v případu alkohol a komisařovo opilecké okno. Ačkoli na rozdíl od Danglarda příliš nepije, tentokrát měl k pití pádné důvody. Fred Vargas jako obvykle mistrně vykresluje charaktery hlavních i vedlejších postav, mezi nimiž dominuje svérázná poručice Retancourtová.

They agree to dig around the tree and see if something has been buried there. They find nothing but soil. A few weeks later, Sophia disappears and her body is found burned to ashes in a car. Who killed the opera singer? Her husband, her ex-lover, her best friend, her niece? They all seem to have a motive. Vandoosler and the three evangelists set out to find the truth.

A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.On an antique map in Oxford s Bodleian Library, a faint red line threading through towns and villages between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way, winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. What it means to embrace slow travel in the age of the car? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? Can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail s walk reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

The Chalk Butterfly - Jane Monson

Responding to the fragile borders between climate change and mental health to evolve into conversations around trauma, change, care and the natural world, The Chalk Butterfly explores images of home and the paradoxes around our simultaneous care and un-care for nature and language. Working backwards through the butterflyâ ™s life cycle, each phase examines the tipping points, vanishing or fractured boundaries between our environments (internal and external), reflecting on the damaging ways we step on both the earth and humanity. Yet in these precise, exquisitely realised prose poems there is also celebration of the overwhelming urge to adapt and help life thrive, a turning away from the despair that would accept we might â ˜just about manageâ ™ or even fail in favour of moments of transformation.

The Last Man - Mary W. Shelley

One of the first dystopian novels ever written, The Last Man traces the impact of an unstoppable pandemic as it slowly overtakes the world. Beginning in the year 2073, the story follows Lionel Vesey—the titular last man—and his circle of friends as the disease creeps from continent to continent and erodes the foundations of civilization. Published in 1826, after the death of Shelley’s husband, her stepsister, and her two children, The Last Man is both an eerily accurate story about humanity wrestling with disaster and a moving fable about surviving personal grief.

The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins

***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15 EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS***False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the â ˜corporatocracyâ ™ â “ a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals â “ to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power - Yanis Varoufakis It comes from the heart.
