Audiokniha: Všude dobře, doma nejlíp… Na Severu? A nespadli jste z jahody naznak? Na nejdelší noc v roce se děti a vnuci penzionovaného kantorského páru Hermanssonových sjeli do provinčního Kymlinge v hloubi Švédska. Mají se staroušky oslavit dvojí narozeniny, zimní slunovrat a jejich brzké stěhování za teplem španělské riviéry. Hotová selanka v bílém. Jenže ať uštvaná pramáti rodu vyváří jedlíkům jako v Alcronu a single malt whisky teče proudem, vyjde jako při všech skandinávských sešlostech podobného ražení brzy najevo, nakolik to mezi nimi skřípe. A když ještě tu noc z domu neznámo kam zmizí nezdárný syn Robert – černá ovce nechvalně proslulá úletem v přisprostlé reality show – a noc následující i jeho dvacetiletý synovec, ukázkový vzorňák Henrik, je zaděláno na truchlohru s mrazivým přídechem. Kam se ti dva poděli a souvisí jejich zmizení s voláním divočiny? Nebo s voláním sexu? A souvisí vůbec? To musí v příštích chmurných měsících vypátrat policista, který se do spletence záhad zakousl s vervou buldoka z drsné školy. První případ komisaře Gunnara Barbarottiho z Kymlinge. Lehce vyhořelý skeptik a sympaťák každým coulem odhalí, kdo má pohřešované na svědomí, přestože mu vykutálené postavy tohoto krimi lžou doslova v přímém přenosu. Håkan Nesser je prvním autorem, který kdy získal od Švédské akademie kriminálních spisovatelů hned třikrát výroční ocenění za nejlepší švédský kriminální román. Tuto cenu obdržel například i za svůj druhý díl série s inspektorem Barbarottim s názvem Úplně jiný příběh. „Autor se chová jako mazaný pyrotechnik – nálože ironie umisťuje do sebemenší skulinky.“ – Dagens Nyheter. „Znovu musíme říct: Nesser nebyl nikdy lepší.“ – Die Welt. „Tak jako Tana Frenchová autor vybočuje ze zástupu klasických whodunnitek. A protože je v tom příšerně depresivní Sever, počítejte s nejmíň dvacetistupňovým mrazem.“ – Goodreads.

Audiokniha: V čem může být zakopaný pes? Na Severu? V chladné a zmučené duši? Na kamenech Husí rokle u města Kymlinge se našlo tělo teoretického fyzika proslulého bytostným samotářstvím. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že se v návalu deprese vrhl ze srázu dobrovolně, ale proč si tedy na příští týden kupoval letenku? A především je k tragédii nutno přičíst krutě ironický fakt, že před pětatřiceti lety se ze stejného místa za nevyjasněných okolností zřítila jeho tehdejší milá. Jaká je mezi událostmi spojitost krom toho, že oba poškození byli značně složité osobnosti – odpadlíci z kdysi nerozlučné party studentů, kteří se seznámili v Uppsale začátkem 70. let? Pověstný pes je zřejmě zakopaný v tom, jak obě úmrtí nahlížet, jenže tak podivný případ už Barbarotti s kolegyní Evou dlouho nevyšetřovali. Aby porozuměli vraždě dnešní, musejí se na základě letitých svědectví dobrat smyslu zločinu minulého, teď už promlčeného. A vedle pátračského vypětí, jež vedení vnímá tak pochybovačně, řešit i ohrožení života svých nejdražších. Hosana! Třikrát korunovaný král psychologické detektivky ze země tří korunek je opět ve svém živlu. Navrstvil před nás sérii otazníků a čeká, jestli se lapíme. Protože pokud ano, budeme žasnout... „Při sestupu do zločineckého nitra se dostal ze všech Švédů nejdál: tak hluboko, až se nám z toho tají dech. A přece víme, že cosi na dně motivací zůstane druhým navždy skryto.“ – Sydsvenskan „Tímto mistrovským dílem Håkan Nesser znovu ovládl detektivní Parnas.“ – Barometern „[Autor] stále představuje trumfové eso žánru. Jen obtížně bychom hledali někoho, kdo o zločinu vypráví tak poutavě i nespoutaně jako on v knize Osamělí.“ – Helsingborgs Dagblad „Nesser už dávno zvládl řemeslo kriminálního románu. A teď přesvědčuje, že dokonale ovládá i schopnost přitáhnout k příběhu pouhým slohem.“ – novinky.cz „Nestává se mi příliš často, že by mi během čtení naskakovala husí kůže. Spisovatel (…) však tento druh mrazení vyvolat umí. Jeho příběhy jsou napínavé a velmi čtivé – i přes složitější formu, kterou nároční čtenáři jako já rozhodně uvítají.“ – ze čtenářských recenzí na databazeknih.cz

Audiokniha: Smí mít muž zákona prázdniny? Na Severu? Když je vrah pořád o parník napřed? Policista by si neměl vybírat dovolenou, neboť ta mu zbytečně narušuje běžný pátrací režim. Na vlastní opálenou kůži to pozná stárnoucí pochybovač Gunnar Barbarotti, jemuž není souzeno si v životě citově vygruntovat a zaláskovat se zase jako mladík. Sotva se o to s partnerkou pokusil, už zanedbal sérii vražd, která mocně zakroutí šrouby jeho mozkových závitů. Pachatel ho totiž poštou pravidelně obesílá sáhodlouhými výklady, proč vzal spravedlnost do svých rukou a koho jmenovitě hodlá odpravit příště. Co přesně se událo v Mousterlinu na bretaňském pobřeží, kde se před pěti lety rekreovala nesourodá šestice Švédů, kteří se nyní stávají oběťmi vrahovy krvavé pomsty? Proti houževnatému vyšetřovateli pídícímu se po pravém motivu řežby tentokrát stojí psychopat, jenž se strážcům zákona poťouchle vysmívá a přibírá do hry i bulvární pisálky. Tak jen aby se nepřepočítal, protože buldok z Kymlinge není na záhadu sám… Za druhý případ inspektora Barbarottiho obdržel autor cenu za nejlepší švédskou detektivku roku 2007. Celkově už potřetí. Není divu, jelikož mistrovsky navázal na proslulý abecední případ Agathy Christie. „Znovu musíme říct: Nesser nebyl nikdy lepší.“ – Die Welt. „Sériový vrah tu řádí jako nejdrsnější psychopati ze švédského podsvětí, a navíc se policii rozhodl intelektuálně poštívat. Jenže i vychytralý modus operandi má háček.“ – eurolitnetwork.com. „Slastně zamotaný případ plný zvratů, v němž se sváří vina a zrada se škodolibostí.

“Eric Blehm offers an insightful perspective on how Craig Kelly became the effortless icon that we all revered as well as sobering details of how his heroic journey tragically ended. The Darkest White is a must read, not just for fans of snowboarding, but for anyone looking for inspiration from an unlikely hero.”—Tony HawkFrom Eric Blehm, the bestselling author of The Last Season and Fearless, comes an extraordinary new book in the vein of Into the Wild, the story of the legendary snowboarder Craig Kelly and his death in the 2003 Durrand Glacier Avalanche—a devastating and controversial tragedy that claimed the lives of seven people.On January 20, 2003, a thunderous crack rang out and a violent tide of snow barreled down the northern Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, burying thirteen skiers and snowboarders. Among them was Craig Kelly—“the Michael Jordan of snowboarding”—a world champion who had propelled the sport into the mainstream before walking away from competitions to rekindle his passion in the untamed alpine wilds of North America.The Darkest White tells the story of Craig Kelly’s life, an extraordinary and inspiring odyssey of a latchkey kid whose athletic prowess and innovations revolutionized winter sports, carried him around the globe, and pushed him into increasingly extreme backcountry environments. It is also a definitive, immersive account of how snowboarding grew from a minor Gen X cult hobby to Olympic centerpiece and a billion-dollar business full of feuds and rivalries. This mesmerizing tribute is a cautionary portrait of the mountains, of the allure and the glory they offer, and of the avalanches they unleash with unforgiving fury. The most unremittingly exciting book of nonfiction I have come across in recent years. I found myself reading late into recent nights wholly transfixed by every paragraph, every word. —Simon Winchester, New York Times Book Review

Bologna, 1944. World-weary Comandante De Luca is tasked with investigating three brutal murders, with the lives of ten Italian hostages on the line. The pitch-black prequel to the Inspector De Luca quartet, by the master of Italian Noir. ‘A brutal evocation of a dystopian past, a stunning winter portrait of the debris and human detritus of wartime Bologna, and a gripping and complex trio of murders’ Peter May ‘Imbued with the cruel compromises of a city on the brink of collapse, immersive, evocative and as opaque as the soot-stained snow, this is historical crime fiction at its finest’ Tom Benjamin ‘A truly insightful, penetrating and raw portrait of a man and a city ravaged by bloody conflict and the terror of fascism and war’ Paul Burke, European Literature Network _____ In November 1944, in the worst winter ever known in Bologna, in the depths of the war, the bomb-scarred streets are home to starving refugees who have fled the advancing Allies. The Fascist Black Brigades, the officers of the S.S. and the partisans of the Italian Resistance compete for control of the city streets in bloody skirmishes. Comandante De Luca, who has proved himself “the most brilliant investigator” in Bologna, but who is now unwillingly working for the Political Police in a building that doubles as a torture facility, finds himself in trouble when three murders land on his desk: a professor shot through the eye, an engineer beaten to death, and a German corporal left to be gnawed on by rats in a flooded cellar. De Luca must rapidly unravel all three cases with ten lives on the line: ten Italian hostages who will face a Nazi firing squad if the corporal’s killing is not solved to the German command’s satisfaction. As he navigates a web of personal and political motivations – his life increasingly at risk – De Luca will not stop until he has uncovered the dangerous secrets concealed in the frozen heart of his city. _____ ‘One of Italy’s most acclaimed crime authors’ Barry Forshaw ‘The unravelling of the three cases is fraught with hazard and takes the reader on a dark journey into the terrible place that Bologna has become … not just a gripping whodunnit, but also a glimpse into the grim winter where this murder mystery is set’ Historical Novel Society ‘Tasked with an impossible job in a world in turmoil for which the “noir” adjective seems almost inadequate, De Luca must survive on his wits and beyond in a tense race against time in a world of torn loyalties, both political and personal.

This is the story of D-Day, told through the voices of over 1,000 survivors.6 June, 1944. 156,000 troops from 12 different countries, 11,000 aircraft, 7,000 naval vessels, 24 hours. D-Day - the beginning of the Allied invasion of Hitler s formidable Fortress Europe - was the largest amphibious invasion in history. There has never been a battle like it, before or since.But beyond the statistics and over sixty years on, what is it about the events of D-Day that remain so compelling? The courage of the men who fought and died on the beaches of France? The sheer boldness of the invasion plan? Or the fact that this, Rommel s longest day , heralded the beginning of the end of World War II?One of the defining battles of the war, D-Day is scored into the imagination as the moment when the darkness of the Third Reich began to be swept away. This story is told through the voices of over 1,000 survivors - from high-ranking Allied and German officers, to the paratroopers who landed in Normandy before dawn, the infantry who struggled ashore and the German troops who defended the coast. Cornelius Ryan captures the horror and the glory of D-Day, relating in emotive and compelling detail the years of inspired tactical planning that led up to the invasion, its epic implementation and every stroke of luck and individual act of heroism that would later define the battle.

The 4-Day Win is a diet book with a difference. Martha Beck has spent years studying social behaviour and she believes that the key to losing weight is learning to adjust our behaviour patterns and the way we think about food. Research shows that if you change the way you act and behave over a four day period it will be much easier not to slip back into bad habits. Accordingly, The 4-Day Win is a series of short four-day programmes to help you gradually change the way you behave toward food and weight loss. Martha Beck explains that if you go through these preparatory stages prior to actually beginning your diet then when you start to diet you ll find it much easier to adjust to eating less. Chapters include:· How to Stop Eating When You Can t Stop Eating· The Most Important Weight Loss Skill in the History of the Universe· Researching Your Life. The 4-Day Win is fun to read and full of new ideas that are effortless to try and which will help you modify your attitude to food which will lead to permanent change. Written in Martha Beck s inimitable style, it gives dieters hope that they will be able to succeed in losing and keeping those extra pounds off forever.

Get fit at home with Woman Home⠙s fitness guruHello! My name is Annie Deadman and I⠙m the proud creator of the 21 Day Blast Plan, a three week healthy eating and fitness programme that kicks your sweet tooth into touch, calms your gut and leaves you with less fat and firmer muscles.Just so you know I⠙m not some fake who went ⠜on a diet⠝ once, found it worked and decided to flog it the masses; I⠙ve been running Annie Deadman Training for the last 15 years. I learnt so much from all my clients about their day-to-day issues, their food intolerances, their lack of time. Men and women were struggling to keep in shape (as well as retain some modicum of self-esteem) while managing a family and work, dishing up healthy meals and trying occasionally to come up for air.Personal training is expensive and I wanted to find a way of helping people get into shape without having to join a gym. I wanted to give them access to something that could help them break habits, get results, stay motivated and was sustainable with a family and work. I also wanted to offer something more: something a bit personal, that would entertain, but most importantly, be effective.So the 21 Day Blast Plan was born ⠓ an online plan that anyone can sign up to for less than the cost of an annual gym membership. The Blast Plan had some fantastic coverage recently in the national press and bang!⠦overnight a wonderful Blast community was created. And now I⠙m bringing the programme to you within the covers of this book so you too can experience the joy, enlightenment and results of the other Blasters.

So the shortest day came, and the year died...As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again... Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooperâ ™s poem The Shortest Day captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before â “ and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illuminated by Carson Ellis, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth.

At 3 p.m. on 8 May 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a long-awaited speech in which he officially declared the war in Europe to be over. After six bitter years of conflict, however, perceptions of how victory over Nazism was to be celebrated and what post-war Britain should look like were very different from the visions of the people and the politicians in 1939.Illustrated with photographs, adverts, posters and cartoons, The Day Peace Broke Out describes the VE-Day celebrations in Britain and across the world through the memories of those who were there, combined with contemporary newspaper and magazine articles. Mike Brown, an authority on the British Home Front of the Second World War, charts the nationâ ™s progressive change of heart from defeatism to growing confidence of certain victory. He looks at the immediate post-VE-Day period and the celebration of victory over Japan in August 1945.What should have been a story with a happy ending concludes with the harsh realisation of post-war austerity and the increasing disillusionment that led many Britons to conclude that they had won the war but lost the peace.
