Půlnoční slunce: Krev na sněhu II. - Jo Nesbø - audiokniha
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. Jeho literární dráhu roku 1997 odstartoval román Netopýr – první detektivka, v níž vystupuje nekonvenční kriminalista Harry Hole. Série s ním se od té doby rozrostla na deset svazků.

Macbeth - Jo Nesbø - audiokniha
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.

The Yellow House - Sarah M. Broom
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION A major book that I suspect will come to be considered among the essential memoirs of this vexing decade New York Times Book ReviewIn 1961, Sarah M. Broom s mother Ivory Mae bought a shotgun house in the then-promising neighborhood of New Orleans East and built her world inside of it. It was the height of the Space Race and the neighborhood was home to a major NASA plant - the postwar optimism seemed assured. Widowed, Ivory Mae remarried Sarah s father Simon Broom; their combined family would eventually number twelve children. But after Simon died, six months after Sarah s birth, the house would become Ivory Mae s thirteenth and most unruly child.A book of great ambition, Sarah M. Broom s The Yellow House tells a hundred years of her family and their relationship to home in a neglected area of one of America s most mythologized cities. This is the story of a mother s struggle against a house s entropy, and that of a prodigal daughter who left home only to reckon with the pull that home exerts, even after the Yellow House was wiped off the map after Hurricane Katrina. The Yellow House expands the map of New Orleans to include the stories of its lesser known natives, guided deftly by one of its native daughters, to demonstrate how enduring drives of clan, pride, and familial love resist and defy erasure. Located in the gap between the Big Easy of tourist guides and the New Orleans in which Broom was raised, The Yellow House is a brilliant memoir of place, class, race, the seeping rot of inequality, and the internalized shame that often follows. It is a transformative, deeply moving story from an unparalleled new voice of startling clarity, authority and power.

The House of Ulloa - Emilia Pardo Bazán, Paul O
A rich and unforgettable tragic-comic novel of sexual intrigue and political scheming, The House of Ulloa is one of the greatest works of nineteenth-century Spanish literature.The House of Ulloa follows pure and pious Father Julián Alvarez, who is sent to a remote country estate to put the affairs of the marquis, an irresponsible libertine, in order. When he discovers moral decadence, cruelty and corruption at his new home, Julián s well-meaning but ineffectual attempts to prevent the fall of the House of Ulloa end in tragedy. Combining gothic elements with humour and social satire, The House of Ulloa is the finest achievement of Emilia Pardo Bazán, a prolific writer, feminist, traveller and intellectual, and one of the most dynamic figures of her time.Brilliantly balancing biting satire and gothic undertones, and evoking a rich sense of place, this is a wonderful novel that deserves to be ranked with the other great books of the period. The Countess Emilia Pardo Bazán was born in 1851 and married at sixteen. After separating from her husband, she embarked on an affair with novelist Benito Pérez Galdós. The House of Ulloa (1886) is generally considered as her masterpiece among her many literary works. Professor Paul O Prey is Vice-Chancellor of the University of Roehampton, London. Lucia Graves has translated works by Robert Graves, Anaïs Nin, Katherine Mansfield and Carlos Ruiz Zafón, and is the author of a memoir, A Woman Unknown, and a novel, The Memory House. An absolutely first-rate novelist [...] Bazán s genius lies in the way she mixes comedy, farce, realism and heightened-pitch hysteria with a dash of gothic [...] People may travel by donkey in this book, but it could have been written yesterday - Nick Lezard, Guardian Pardo Bazán s mastery of social types and of the political currents that swirled around the liberal revolution are unsurpassed in Spanish literature ... O Prey and Graves ... avoid awkward literalisms while nonetheless remaining true to the spirit of the original New Criterion

Kráľovstvo - Jo Nesbø - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Jo Nesbø tentoraz prekvapuje a opäť dokazuje svoje majstrovstvo. Hrdinom jeho najnovšieho románu nie je fenomenálny vyšetrovateľ Harry Hole, ale mechanik Roy Opgard, ktorý žije na rodinnom statku hlboko v nórskych horách. Jeho mladší brat Carl sa po rokoch vracia domov z Ameriky s plánom postaviť luxusný hotel, ktorý by upadajúcej oblasti opäť vdýchol život. Royova lojalita voči rodine však prechádza skúškou, keď zistí, že za Carlovými veľkolepými plánmi sa skrývajú nenásytnosť a zrada. Z minulosti sa vynárajú šokujúce tajomstvá a v hre sú zrazu nielen doterajšie istoty a pokoj, ale aj ľudské životy. Z idyly uprostred prírody sa stáva temné miesto a Roy sa musí rozhodnúť, čo všetko je kvôli bratovi a láske k jeho manželke Shannon ochotný obetovať.
