the pilgrim of hate ellis petersova

In the year of our Lord 1141, civil war over England''s throne leaves a legacy of violence- and the murder of a knight dear to Brother Cadfael. And with gentle budstrewn May, a flood of pilgrims comes to the celebration of Saint Winifred at the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, carrying with it many strange souls and perhaps the knight''s killer. Brother Cadfael''s shrewd eyes see all: the prosperous merchant who rings false, and angelic lame boy, his beautiful dowess sister, and two wealthy penitents. In the name of justice, Cadfael decides to uncover the strange and twisted tale that accompanies these travellers. Instead he unearths a quest for vengeance, witnesses a miracle, and finds himself on a razor''s edge between death and the absolution of love.

By the mercy of God I am a Christian, by my deeds a great sinner, by calling a homeless wanderer of the lowliest origins, roaming from place to place. Here, see my belongings: a bag of dry crusts on my back and the Holy Bible in my breast pocket; that's it. In 1884 there appeared in Russia a slim volume containing four short tales. They told of a pilgrim, a lone wanderer, led by his quiet curiosity and a deep spiritual longing to undertake a lifelong journey across the land. A folk hero, a figure familiar from the works of Tolstoy and Leskov, this gentle pilgrim and his simple story would soon travel the world - and would even, much later, traverse the pages of JD Salinger's Franny and Zooey as the 'small pea-green cloth-bound book' that Franny keeps close in her handbag. The pilgrim's ancient journey takes him from a city monastery through forests, fields and the steppes of Siberia. He walks by day and by night, through rains and summer months, finding food and shelter where he can. Along the way, he encounters priests and professors, convicts, nuns and beggars, a tipsy old man in a soldier's greatcoat, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A late spring in 1142 brings dismay to the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, for there may be no roses by June the twenty-second. On that day the young widow Perle must receive one white rose as rent for the house she has given to benefit the abbey or the contract is void. When nature finally complies, a pious monk is sent to pay the rent, but discovers that the rose bush has been destroyed and he is then found murdered inside it. The abbey''s wise herbalist, Brother Cadfael, follows the trail of bloodied petals. He knows the lovely widow''s dowry is far greater with her house included, and she will likely wed again. But before Cadfael can ponder if a greedy suitor has done this dreadful deed, another crime is committed. Now the good monk must thread his way through a tangle more torturous than the widow''s thorns.

V poválečném prosinci 1138 ke klidu místních benediktinů nepřispěla vražda statkáře Bonela, jenž se k nim uchýlil na dožití výměnou za majetky, co poté řád převezme. Dalo se to uspíšit, tudíž mu kdosi podstrčil otrávené stehýnko. Cadfael se pouští do pátrání nejen proto, že oběd vylepšilo mazání z jedovaté byliny oměj zvané „mnišská kápě“, které pro špitálníky sám nedávno umíchal, ale i z důvodu, že vdova je jeho dávná láska z mládí. Travič zjevně řádil na cestě od kuchyně k starcově světnici, odkud vede jediné okno, avšak vzešel vážně z řad církevních pokrytců? Podezřelé jsou i složité dědické poměry v rodině mrtvého, jelikož ten nebyl zrovna svatoušek. Třetí případ z cyklu historických detektivek s bratrem Cadfaelem, jehož v britském televizním seriálu znamenitě ztvárnil Derek Jacobi.

I za rohem… Slavný výroční trh, pořádaný vždy na vrcholu léta pod patronací Cadfaelova benediktinského opatství, způsobil ve Shrewsbury sběh lidu zdaleka i zblízka. Koupit tu lze lecjaké vzácné látky a dobroty, tretky, opičku v hospodě – anebo ránu dýkou pod lopatku. Tu ještě v předvečer akce schytal mistr Thomas, obchodník s luxusním zbožím až z Bristolu, a tak ráno plave bradou vzhůru v řece Severn. V podezření je rázem starostův syn, který se s ním zhádal ohledně cla, kvůli němuž je město s klášterem dlouhodobě na kordy, i když tudy stopa nejspíš nevede. Komu panovačný Thomas šlápl na kuří oko a proč se někdo soustavně hrabe v jeho lodi, ačkoli už kupcova mrtvola leží v márnici a zatčený mladík v šatlavě? Všetečný Cadfael musí motiv odhalit dřív, než se trhovci rozejdou, a zohlednit, že zdání klame.

Audiokniha: Když kolem řádí malomocenství ducha, vyléčí nás jen soucitné srdce…S nadcházejícím podzimem L. P. 1139 hostí město Shrewsbury na pomezí Anglie a Walesu slavnou svatbu. Panovačný lord Huon de Domville si má brát krotkou lady Ivetu de Massard – a jsou to divné vdavky. Ani Cadfaelovi cestou do špitálu sv. Jiljí za tamními nevyléčitelně nemocnými neujde, že ženich je už notně odkvetlý, kdežto nevěsta sotva dospělá, ovšem s tučným dědictvím po nejudatnějším křižákovi. Když je pak ve svatební ráno Huon nalezen zavražděn v lese, hlavním podezřelým se stává jeho panoš, který si na Ivetu nepokrytě myslel a od sňatku ji odrazoval. Je zajat, ale podaří se mu uprchnout, a vyšetřování se ocitá ve slepé uličce. Ještě že Cadfael seřadí indicie tak, aby mladíka viny zprostil a aby to pochopili i zbrklý šerif a velmožova družina. Z tváře mrtvého lorda na pasece je přece zřejmé, že ránu zasadila ruka s prstenem, a taky je záhodno se ptát, proč má do čapky vetknuty modré kvítky. A co víc: všiml si někdo, že ve špitále přibyl chovanec a že mezi chorými vyčnívá lazar s nebetyčnou autoritou?Cadfael luští pátý případ, v němž boláky bližním způsobila tupá chamtivost.

In 1959 teenage poet Royston Ellis teamed up with Cliff Richard''s group, the Drifters (later called The Shadows) and appeared with them on television and stage shows performing his unique brand of rocketry'' (rock n'' roll poetry). He became closely associated with Cliff, Jet, Tony, Hank & Bruce and wrote the first ever book about them, "Driftin'' with Cliff Richard" followed by the 1961 biography "The Shadows". These much sought-after books have been long out of print. Royston Ellis has agreed to combine and expand the content of these two books into a new book, "Cliff Richard & the Shadows: A Rock & Roll Memoir". This book recalls insights of days and nights spent with Cliff and the Shadows between 1959 and 1961. Largely regarded as THE spokesman for the British Rock & Roll generation, Royston Ellis now re-evaluates how Cliff and the Shadows represented the hopes, aspirations and values of British teens at the dawn of the swinging 60s, when things would change forever. This book offers a timeless snapshot of an era that only lasted a few years, but whose importance would reverberate for decades. This beautifully designed book includes rare photographs.
