Slavné drama klasického amerického autora čerpá ze skutečných událostí z konce 17. století v americkém městečku Salem kdesi v Massachusetts, ale odkazuje k Millerově současnosti a k protikomunistickým honům na čarodějnice mccarthyovské éry, jejichž obětí byl i sám autor.Na počátku příběhu stojí žárlivost – mladá služka Abigail svede ženatého farmáře Johna Proctora, a když se jí nepodaří udržet jeho náklonnost, rozpoutá ve farnosti davovou hysterii z přítomnosti ďábelských sil.Přijíždí vyšetřující soudce a začne nejproslulejší čarodějnický proces všech dob, počty křivě obviněných žen jdou do desítek, nakonec dojde i na Proctorovu manželku, jíž se chce Abigail pomstít.Vychází v překladu Kateřiny Hilské.

Described by the Sunday Times as 'a fascinating revelation of an adventurous and protean spirit’, this biography is the inspiration behind the 2024 film Lee, starring Kate Winslet as Lee Miller. Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of life’s adventurers. She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau. These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Miller’s finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penrose’s tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.

As a dense yellow fog swirls through the streets of London, a deep melancholy has descended on Sherlock Holmes, who sits in a cocaine-induced haze at 221B Baker Street. His mood is only lifted by a visit from a beautiful but distressed young woman - Mary Morstan, whose father vanished ten years before. Four years later she began to receive an exquisite gift every year: a large, lustrous pearl. Now she has had an intriguing invitation to meet her unknown benefactor and urges Holmes and Watson to accompany her. And in the ensuing investigation - which involves a wronged woman, a stolen hoard of Indian treasure, a wooden-legged ruffian, a helpful dog and a love affair - even the jaded Holmes is moved to exclaim, ''Isn''t it gorgeous!''
