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. A tu posilují i autorova ironie a suchý humor vyšetřovatele (…), který je taky jen člověk.“ – crimereview.co.uk. Vrah vám píše dopisy. Sděluje, koho zavraždí, přestože v době, kdy ty dopisy dostanete, už jsou ti lidé ve většině případů mrtví. Označí také jednoho člověka, ale toho nezabije. Sepíše mnohostránkové poznámky, v nichž vysvětluje podivné události, které se staly ve Finistère před pěti lety. Pošle vám je z Káhiry. Otázka zní: Proč to všechno dělá? – ukázka z textu

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph Book of the Year______________________________________________ A triumph ... a masterclass in the bottling of its subject⠙s seductive essence. His presence in this book is so strong that it⠙s hard to believe he has really left the building MOJO Handsomely presented, visually sumptuous THE TIMES______________________________________________From Prince himself comes the brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time⠔featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death. Prince was a musical genius, one of the most talented, beloved, accomplished, popular, and acclaimed musicians in pop history. But he wasn t only a musician⠔he was also a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of his early records to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of Paisley Park. But his greatest creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, the greatest pop star of his era. The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince⠔a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is composed of the memoir he was writing before his tragic death, pages that brings us into Prince s childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us into Prince s early years as a musician, before his first album released, through a scrapbook of Prince s writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince s evolution through candid images that take us up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book s fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain⠔the final stage in Prince s self-creation, as he retells the autobiography we ve seen in the first three parts as a heroic journey. The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring⠙s riveting and moving introduction about his short but profound collaboration with Prince in his final days⠔a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he⠙d so carefully cultivated⠔and annotations that provide context to each of the book⠙s images.

Beloved music critic Tom Breihan #39;s fascinating narrative of the history of popular music through the lens of game-changing #1 singles from the Billboard Hot 100. When Tom Breihan launched his Stereogum column in early 2018, “The Number Ones”—a space in which he has been writing about every #1 hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, in chronological order—he figured he’d post capsule-size reviews for each song. But there was so much more to uncover. The column has taken on a life of its own, sparking online debate and occasional death threats. The Billboard Hot 100 began in 1958, and after four years of posting the column, Breihan is still in the early aughts. But readers no longer have to wait for his brilliant synthesis of what the history of #1s has meant to music and our culture. In The Number Ones, Breihan writes about twenty pivotal #1s throughout chart history, revealing a remarkably fluid and connected story of music that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.The Numbers Ones features the greatest pop artists of all time, from the Brill Building songwriters to the Beatles and the Beach Boys; from Motown to Michael Jackson, Prince, and Mariah Carey; and from the digital revolution to the K-pop system. Breihan also ponders great artists who have never hit the top spot, like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and James Brown. Breihan illuminates what makes indelible ear candy across the decades—including dance crazes, recording innovations, television phenomena, disco, AOR, MTV, rap, compact discs, mp3s, social media, memes, and much more—leaving readers to wonder what could possibly happen next.

Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism #1 Book of the Year from Brain Pickings Named a best book of the year by NPR, Newsweek, Slate, Pop Sugar, Marie Claire, Elle, Publishers Weekly, and Lit Hub A dazzling work of biography, memoir, and cultural criticism on the subject of loneliness, told through the lives of iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of The Trip to Echo Spring. When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her midthirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by the most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving from Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks to Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules, from Henry Darger’s hoarding to David Wojnarowicz’s AIDS activism, Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone, illuminating not only the causes of loneliness but also how it might be resisted and redeemed. Humane, provocative, and moving, The Lonely City is a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.

Joseph B. Soloveitchik, the rabbi known as “The Rav” by his followers worldwide, was a leading authority on the meaning of Jewish law and prominent force in building bridges between traditional Orthodox Judaism and the modern world. In The Lonely Man of Faith, a soaring, eloquent essay first published in Tradition magazine in 1965, Soloveitchik investigates the essential loneliness of the person of faith in our narcissistic, materially oriented, utilitarian society.In this modern classic, Soloveitchik uses the story of Adam and Eve as a springboard, interweaving insights from such important Western philosophers as Kierkegaard and Kant with innovative readings of Genesis to provide guidance for the faithful in today’s world. He explains prayer as “the harbinger of moral reformation,” and discusses with empathy and understanding the despair and exasperation of individuals who seek personal redemption through direct knowledge of a God who seems remote and unapproachable. He shows that while the faithful may become members of a religious community, their true home is “the abode of loneliness.” In a moving personal testimony, Soloveitchik demonstrates a deep-seated commitment, intellectual courage, and integrity to which people of all religions will respond.

In the longest Sandman story, Morpheus becomes the prey of the Furies--avenging spirits who torment those who spill family blood. A journey both begins and ends for the Lord of Dreams as threads and pieces building since the beginning of the series finally come together in a thrilling climax that forever changes the world of The Sandman. One of the most popular and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all time, Neil Gaiman s award-winning masterpiece The Sandman set the standard for mature, lyrical fantasy in the modern comics era.

Agents of vengeance, implacable and unstoppable, they do not rest until the crimes they seek to punish are washed clean with blood. It is to them Lyta Hall turns when her baby, Daniel, is taken from her, and it is Dream of the Endless who becomes their target. But behind a mother s grief and unyielding rage, there are darker forces at work, and what they set in motion will eventually demand a sacrifice greater than any the Dreaming has yet known.

Poignant, multilayered portraits of Americaâ ™s future farmersA new book by award-winning Minneapolis-based photographer R.J. Kern (born 1978), The Unchosen Ones features portraits of future farmers in Americaâ ™s heartland. Kernâ ™s subjects are Minnesota 4-H members posing with their farm animals. Each one spent a year raising an animal, which they then entered into a 4-H competition. Kern first photographed them in 2016, and none of the children who sat for him succeeded in winning an award, despite the obvious care they had given to their animals. The formal qualities of Kernâ ™s lighting and setting endow these young people with a gravitas beyond their years, revealing self-directed dedication in some, and in others, perhaps, the pressures of traditions imposed upon them. These beautiful portraits capture a certain America, a rural world and a time in life when the layered emotions of youth are laid bare. Four years later, in 2020, Kern returned to photograph and interview his young subjects. The new images are poignant when juxtaposed with the originals, tapping into the mindset of Americaâ ™s agricultural youth. The diptychs of the children are punctuated by lush landscapes of the farms where these children have grown up.As he took the second group of photographs, Kern inquired about what his young subjects had carried forward from their previous experience. What were their thoughts, their advice, their dreams and their goals for the future? How do they fit in future agricultural America?
