The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford''s film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Ford’s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford''s other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards'' revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideon’s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home.

For troops in the desert, Cairo meant fleshpots or brass hats. For well-connected officers, it meant polo at the Gezira Club and drinks at Shepheard''s. For the irregular warriors, Cairo was a city to throw legendary parties before the next mission behind enemy lines. For countless refugees, it was a stopping place in the long struggle home. The political scene was dominated by the British Ambassador Sir Miles Lampson. In February 1942 he surrounded the Abdin Palace with tanks and attempted to depose King Farouk. Five months later it looked as if the British would be thrown out of Egypt for good. Rommel''s forces were only sixty miles from Alexandria - but the Germans were pushed back and Cairo life went on. Meanwhile, in the Egyptian Army, a handful of young officers were thinking dangerous thoughts.

Audiokniha: Vrchní inspektor Armand Gamache dokáže ocenit nejen dobré jídlo a pití, ale především ryzost lidské povahy. Za dlouhá léta, co slouží u quebecké Sûreté, pochopil, že v zárodku každé vraždy se skrývá lidské neštěstí a že k nemyslitelnému činu mohou vést i drobné křivdy, strach nebo malicherná závist, když je v sobě někdo nechá kvasit dostatečně dlouho. Jenže co když k vraždě dojde za „nadpřirozených“ okolností – ve strašidelném domě a při spiritistické seanci? Mohou snad mrtví zabíjet? A co asi viděla těsně před smrtí oběť, má-li v obličeji výraz takové hrůzy, že to šokuje i otrlého zřízence na patologii? Jedno je jisté. Srdeční a rázovití obyvatelé Three Pines při své nevinné, i když možná nerozvážné noční zábavě něco probudili k životu. A to něco teď straší celou dříve tak idylickou vesničku. Gamache čeká nejen měření sil s přízrakem starého domu Hadleyových, ale i vyčerpávající a nerovný souboj se zrádcem mezi svými nejbližšími. „Pennyová umně vykresluje živý obraz kanadsko-francouzské vesničky, jejích obyvatel a moudrého detektiva, který potěší mnoho fanoušků Agathy Christie jako Hercule Poirot 21. století.“ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY „Pennyová je oceňovaná spisovatelka, jejíž smysl pro zajímavé charaktery, malebné prostředí a neotřelé zápletky dalece přesahuje tradiční hranice žánru.“ - ...

Audiokniha: Ve Three Pines se zase vraždí. A dokonce o Vánocích. Tentokrát se obětí stala zlá, sobecká, panovačná CC de Poitiers, která si v malebné kanadské vísce koupila „prokletý dům“. Zdá se, že její smrti nelituje vůbec nikdo včetně nejbližší rodiny a že důvod zabít ji měl tady snad každý. Navíc pachatel zvolil naprosto originální způsob vraždy – tak rafinovaný, že dokázal pořádně zamotat hlavu nejen místní policii, ale i vrchnímu inspektorovi Armandu Gamachovi z quebecké Sûreté. Ten však má oproti ostatním jednu velkou výhodu – dobře ví, že aby našel vraha, musí ho nejdřív pochopit. „Vražda je hluboce lidská věc, a to se týká jak zavražděného, tak i vraha.“ Za tuto knihu její autorka získala prestižní cenu Agatha Award za nejlepší klasický kriminální román roku – a její hlavní hrdina přirovnání k legendám: svéráznému Columbovi či jedinečnému Herculu Poirotovi.
