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 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.

"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.

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.

Ačkoli na rozdíl od Danglarda příliš nepije, tentokrát měl k pití pádné důvody.

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 butterfly’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 ‘just about manage’ or even fail in favour of moments of transformation.

Several years later strange things started happening in her life. Three people in three years. Three signs of love. Sara and Mark. Two people living in a different country, speaking different languages, occupying a different world. He, a successful Viennese director, teamed up with jealous assistant Elke, insecure Mike, and James, who likes his bottle of Scotch. On the other hand, Sara, a woman of no obvious importance, lives an uneventful life within a dysfunctional relationship, whose only pleasure is her little daughter Francesca. When she undergoes an adventurous journey that reconnects her with a long-lost relative and learns new facts about her own family, it seems to be more than she asked for. Just when she thought that the circle was full, life will bring her unexpected surprises, revelations, and new meaning to everything.
