Audiokniha: Michael Mickey Haller je právnik bez kancelárie. Úraduje na zadnom sedadle svojho Lincolna, a tak je vždy nablízku svojim klientom - motorkárom, podvodníkom, drogovým dílerom. Zákon je pre neho málokedy o vine alebo nevine - je o vyjednávaní a manipulácii. Keď si ho ako obhajcu najme playboy z Beverly Hills, ktorého zatkli za napadnutie mladej ženy, získa po rokoch prvého bohatého klienta. Dokonca to vyzerá tak, že tentokrát bude obhajovať skutočne nevinného človeka. Zdá sa, že prípad rýchlo uzavrie. Potom však zavraždia vyšetrovateľa a Haller zistí, že prípad nebude taký jednoduchý, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Ak chce uniknúť skrytému zlu, musí využiť všetky svoje schopnosti. V stávke totiž nie je len ostro sledovaný súdny prípad, ale aj jeho život... V roku 2011 stvárnil Mickeyho Hallera na filmovom plátne známy hollywoodsky herec Matthew McCounaghey vo filme Obhajca (The Lincoln Lawyer). „Connelly predvádza energickú drámu poháňanú cynizmom a právnikom menom Michael Haller („Ľudia mi hovoria Mickey“), ktorý pracuje pre spodinu zeme a neospravedlňuje sa.“— Marilyn Stasio, New York Times „Connellyho práca má všetko – ostro vykreslené, pútavé postavy, svižné dialógy... Rovnako ako v prípade Scotta Turowa, aj on chápe, že dobrý právny thriller je predovšetkým o práve, nie o právnikoch, ktorí sa správajú ako bojovníci so zločinom.“ —David Lazarus, San Francisco Chronicle „Advokát zo zadného sedadla je Connellyho prvý právny thriller a je jedným z najlepších románov, ktoré napísal, ak nie najlepší.“ - Carol Memmott, USA TODAY „Michael Connelly je vo svete obhajcu trestných činov rovnako doma, ako bol vždy vo sfére vyšetrovateľov a policajtov. Všetky vlastnosti, ktoré mu zaslúžene priniesli mnohých čitateľov, sú tu opäť predvedené: svižné tempo, dômyselné zvraty, rafinované písanie a atmosféra autority na každej stránke.

A Boschova reputace přímo oslňuje…Bývalý agent FBI Terrence McCaleb dostal v životě druhou šanci a po transplantaci srdce raději pověsil stresující povolání na hřebík. Z rodinné idyly na ostrůvku v zátoce Santa Monica však úspěšného sestavovatele zločineckých profilů vytrhne návštěva vyšetřovatelky z losangeleské mordparty, která si neví rady s případem brutální vraždy malíře pokojů Edwarda Gunna. Mrtvý totiž nebyl žádné neviňátko. Drastický způsob jeho likvidace navíc v policii vzbuzuje oprávněné obavy, že patrně nepůjde o poslední oběť sadistického vraha. Zemřelého kdysi vyšetřoval Terryho přítel Harry Bosch – jenž zrovna svědčí u ostře sledovaného procesu s hollywoodským režisérem obžalovaným z násilného zločinu –, a tak je uznávaný detektiv požádán o pomoc. Což byla možná chyba, jelikož některé z nalezených stop vedou právě k němu…Sedmý díl populární série kriminálních románů, podle níž vznikl úspěšný seriál Bosch s Titusem Welliverem v titulní roli. Tentokrát se však slovutný pátrač zapletl do vyšetřované vraždy víc, než by mu bylo milé. „Connelly v nejlepší formě. Vřele doporučujeme!“ – Library Journal„Autor Boschovi s McCalebem umožňuje, aby se vůči sobě kriticky vymezili, a to způsobem, který prohlubuje čtenářovo pochopení obou postav.“ – The New Yorker„Napínavý thriller se všemi nezbytnými atributy žánru.

Pochází z Nizozemí, je řazen do období severoevropské renesance. Předpokládám, že sovy tam dorůstaly chvályhodných rozměrů.“McCaleb upíral oči na papír před sebou. Jméno, které vzniklo z písmen diktovaných Doranovou, mu připadalo povědomé.„Zapomněla jsi příjmení. Taky je tak dlouhé?“„Promiň, Terry. Ne, to je docela kraťoučké. Bosch.

The workshop exercises at the end of each chapter, together with an extensive glossary of poetic and critical terms, and the number and range of poems analysed and discussed â “ 122 of which are quoted in full â “ make Reading Poetry suitable for individual study or as a comprehensive, self-contained textbook for university and college classes.

A bulwark against invasion, a conduit for exchange and a challenge to be conquered, the English Channel has always been many things to many people. Today it s the busiest shipping lane in the world and hosts more than 30 million passenger crossings every year but this sliver of choppy brine, just 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, represents much more than a conductor of goods and people. Criss-crossing the Channel - not to mention regularly throwing himself into it for a bracing swim - Charlie Connelly collects its stories and brings them vividly to life, from tailing Oscar Wilde s shadow through the dark streets of Dieppe to unearthing Britain s first beauty pageant at the end of Folkestone pier (it was won by a bloke called Wally). We learn that Louis Bleriot was actually a terrible pilot, the tragic fate of the first successful Channel swimmer, and that if a man with a buttered head and pigs bladders attached to his trousers hadn t fought off an attack by dogfish we might never have had a Channel Tunnel. Here is a cast of extraordinary characters - geniuses, cheats, dreamers, charlatans, visionaries, eccentrics and at least one pair of naked, cuddling balloonists - whose stories are all united by the English Channel to ensure the sea that makes us an island will never be the same again.

Mirza Abdolqader Azimabadi penname Bee del (one who has lost or surrendered his heart) was born in Putna, India in 1644 CE and died in Delhi in 1721. He spoke Bengali, wrote poetry in Persian (Farsi), and was familiar with Arabic, Urdu, Bengali and Sanskrit. One of the most prolific and regarded poets of his day, his style is considered the glory of Persian poetry of Central Asian/Indian origin. Among many ethnic groups outside the present borders of Iran, whose culture/mysticism and literature is influenced by the Iranian culture and language, Bee del is classified alongside Ha fezan honour conferred on very few.Bee del composed his first poems at age 10. As he became familiar with the teachings of the Sufis, he continued to frequent their gatherings throughout life. Their literature influenced both his work and his growing involvement in things of the spirit. Traveling widely in India, Bee del became familiar with the ages-old Vedic teachings, which are strongly reflected in his work. As a mystic and dedicated practitioner of the Way, Bee del refused to compose poems in praise of royalty or the rich and powerful, which was common practice at the time.Although Bee del was and still is a favourite to many, the available material about and from him is rare, especially as his mystical understanding often required skilful editing to make it available to the average Farsi reader. Still, Bee del s relevance to our times is obvious his message is informed by a universal regard for the inner life and potential of humans, regardless of geography, ethnicity or religion which is a basic tenet in all genuine spiritual teachings, including Sufism. As a Sufi poet, Bee del urges us to attend to our most important task experiencing, as opposed to reading/hearing about, one s inner Origin/Essence and thus realize the true purpose of our existence.Vraje Abramian, a translator of numerous respected works, including Nobody Son of Nobody, presents a selection of qhazals and rubais (classical forms of Persian poetry generally relating to love, longing and the Divine) from the original Farsi Divan of Bee del. This collection is offered as a prayer for our times, in the hope that it may suggest an alternative to materialism, the acquisition of power and the law of the jungle. The teachings contained here can strengthen faith in one s innate capacity to rise above circumstances and thus improve our chances of survival as a species at this critical stage in history.

“[A] memoir of . . . madcap travels, triumphs and humiliations. [Tonello] peels back the layers of pretension at the eminent design house. . . . Anyone who’s ever stepped into a luxury boutique and felt the sting of the doorman’s disapproval will find a hero in Tonello.” —Miami Herald The hilarious, whirlwind account of an insider’s years spent globe-trotting in search of the handbag called “a better investment than gold”: the Birkin. With a life that reads like a heist novel, Michael Tonello reveals the secret to bagging this legendary purse, coveted by celebrities and status-seekers around the world.For more than twenty years, the Hermès Birkin bag has been the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury, and wealth. Though the bag is often seen dangling from the arms of celebrities, there is a fabled waiting list of more than two years to buy one from Hermès, and the average fashionista has a better chance of climbing Mount Everest in Prada pumps than of possessing one of these coveted carryalls. Unless, of course, she happens to know Michael Tonello . . .Michael’s newfound career started with an impulsive move to Barcelona, a vanished job assignment, no work visa, and a Hermès scarf sold on eBay to generate some quick cash. But soon the resourceful Michael discovered the truth about the waiting list and figured out the secret to getting Hermès to part with one of these precious bags. Millions of dollars worth of Birkins later, Michael had become one of eBay’s most successful entrepreneurs—and a Robin Hood to thousands of desperate rich women. With down-to-earth wit, Michael chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent, from eBay to Paris auction house and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs. Flirting with danger, Michael recounts the heady rush of hand delivering his first big score to famed songwriter Carole Bayer Sager in Paris; how he had to hire thugs to rescue a bag that one of his “shoppers” held for ransom; and the story of the Oscar-worthy performances that allowed him to snag “reserved” bags from other, less dogged Birkin seekers.Whether he’s relating his wining and dining, buying and selling, dodging and weaving, laughing and crying, or schmoozing and stammering, Michael is a master raconteur who weaves together tales of hunting Birkins in the world’s most posh locales, memories of meals that would make any gastronome salivate, anecdotes of obsessed collectors with insatiable desires, and sweetly intimate stories about his family, friends, and finding true love. The result is a memoir that is distinctive, fun, page-turning, and as addictive as its namesake.
