Audiokniha: Já jsem typ, co utíká. Teď už je ale na čase, abych se probudil… V sedmdesátých letech 20. století se na severu Norska usadili příslušníci laestadiánského hnutí. Jejich domovem se stala opuštěná vesnice Kåsund kdesi ve Finnmarce. Izolace není na škodu, neboť jejich životy jsou svázány přísnými pravidly. Pak ale do uzavřené komunity vpadne záhadný Ulf, který tvrdí, že přijel z Osla na lov bělokurů. Na lovce však příliš nevypadá – dokonce ani nemá pořádnou pušku. Nechce se mu prozrazovat, že jedinou kořistí, na kterou se tu možná bude pořádat hon, je on sám. Těžko totiž odhadnout, na čí straně budou místní stát a zda mu pomohou lovce setřást. „Jeden z nejpřesvědčivějších příběhů, pod které se Jo Nesbø za posledních 10 let podepsal. Ponor do vnitřního života traumatizované a osamělé postavy se sice v závěru překlopí do série dynamickýchtwistů, ale prozrazuje, že Nesbø má krom spektakulárních thrillerů v záloze i jemnější kousky.“ - Vít Schmarc, Respekt „Ani v druhé části Krve na sněhu nenajdete nic z tradičního Nesbøho a oproti názvu ani nepoteče moc krve. Autor se totiž soustředí spíše na rozvíjení love story, kterou by člověk v kraji, kde sobi dávají dobrou noc, nehledal. Víří otázky víry v Boha, zkoumá motivy lidského konání a nesení následků svých činů.“ - Alena Badinová, klubknihomolu.cz Jo Nesbø (*1960) Norský spisovatel a hudebník, původním vzděláním ekonom a finanční analytik, zpočátku pracoval jako makléř a novinář.

Audiokniha: Krev bude vykoupena krví Norský král detektivek Jo Nesbø v očekávané novince Macbeth ukazuje, jak hra o moc, nenasytnost a temná zákoutí lidského jednání a mysli dokáží ovlivňovat a ničit životy. Je to nejlepší polda, jakého kdy měli. Když se nepodařený zátah na dealery zvrhne v krveprolití, přichází inspektor Macbeth se svým týmem rychlého nasazení, aby zachránil situaci. Macbeth je však i vyléčený feťák s problematickou, trýznivou minulostí. Za jeho úspěchy ho čeká odměna. Peníze. Moc. Respekt. To všechno má na dosah. Jenže chlap s jeho původem nemůže dosáhnout až na vrchol. Nebo může? Macbetha pronásledují halucinace a paranoidní představy o tom, jak mu osud brání v oprávněném vzestupu. Jak se má dostat k tomu, na co má právo? Tak, že začne vraždit. Jo Nesbø je jedním z nejslavnějších světových autorů krimi. Jeho knihy vyšly v padesáti jazycích a prodalo se jich více než 40 milionů výtisků po celém světě. „Macbetha“ inspirovala hra Williama Shakespeara, kterou Nesbø vnímá jako „thriller o boji o moc, odehrávající se v pochmurných noirových kulisách i v temnotě paranoidní lidské mysli“. Václav Neužil ml. pochází z Plzně. Po dokončení studia na JAMU v Brně hrál v divadle Polárka, Národním divadle Brno, Divadle 7 a půl a HaDivadle.

This is a brilliant, shocking book ... also witty, painfully self-critical and humane ... it is a work of great literature Tim Whitmarsh, Guardian The Kingdom, already a huge bestseller in France, is thrilling, magnificent and strange Bryan Appleyard, Sunday TimesThe sensational international bestseller from one of France s most fêted writers - an epic novel telling the story of Christianity as it has never been told before, and one man s crisis of faith.Corinth, ancient Greece, two thousand years ago. An itinerant preacher, poor, wracked by illness, tells the story of a prophet who was crucified in Judea, who came back from the dead, and whose return is a sign of something enormous. Like a contagion, the story will spread over the city, the country and, eventually, the world. Emmanuel Carrère s astonishing historical epic tells the story of the mysterious beginnings of Christianity, bringing to life a distant, primeval past of strange sects, apocalyptic beliefs and political turmoil. In doing so Carrère, once himself a fervent believer, questions his own faith, asks why we believe in resurrection, and what it means. The Kingdom is his masterpiece.

Frustrated by Christianity? Modern American Evangelicalism has left many feeling that Christianity is partisan, cheap, shallow, and lifeless. But could it be that this current sense of the faith has simply failed to capture the deep, ancient power of what it really means to follow Jesus? Finding the Kingdom takes you on a thoughtfully articulated journey through the writings of great disciples of Jesus from the past. On this walk along the narrow road of true discipleship, you will encounter the Living Jesus for yourself. Full of profound wisdom, Finding the Kingdom offers long-form readings, scripture passages, powerful quotations, simple prayers-all designed to confront you with Jesus Himself, in whose presence you will discover a faith that is costly, rich, alive, and true.

How did an Ivy League activist become a global fugitive? The New York Times bestselling co-author of Billion Dollar Whale and Blood and Oil chronicles the heart-pounding tale of a self-taught operative his high-stakes attempt subvert the North Korean regime. “Propulsive . . . Hope’s account is both deeply reported and novelistic.”—Ed Caesar, contributing staff writer for The New Yorker, author of The Moth and the MountainIn the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped asylum-seeking North Koreans escape across the border. Meanwhile, Hong’s secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government’s activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong-un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong-nam, the dictator’s older brother, Hong, along with U.S. Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Kim Jong-nam’s family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid—an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world’s most unlikely fugitives. In the tradition of Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo—to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope—who broke numerous details of Hong’s operations in The Wall Street Journal—now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world’s most mysterious and unsettling nation.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Andrew Klavan explores how artists imaginative engagement with the darkness can point the way to living beautifully in the midst of a tragic world. Andrew Klavan s book illuminates even as it explores the deepest darkness, finding truth and beauty in art born of unflinching confrontations with evil. --Daniel McCarthy, editor-in-chief, Modern AgeIn his USA Today bestselling The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it.The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history--including the first murder, Cain s killing of his brother, Abel--and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.To make beauty out of the world as it is--shot through with evil and injustice and suffering--is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived. Examining how that transformation occurs in art grants us a vision for how it can happen in our lives.Klavan eloquently argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God s ability to redeem it all.

With intense power and lyricism, Camus evokes beautiful but harsh landscapes, whether the shimmering deserts of his native Algeria or the wild, mysterious jungles of Brazil.Here a Frenchwoman is gradually seduced by the sheer difference of North Africa, a mutilated renegade is driven mad by the cruelty of his own people, and a barrel-maker watches the slow decline of his craft.

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature.
