Případy komisaře Wallandera 9 - poslední případ světoznámého komisaře Wallandera. Jednoho dubnového rána roku 2008 zmizí na své pravidelné procházce lesoparkem vysloužilý vysoce postavený námořní důstojník H?kan von Enke. Vyšetřování případu má na starosti stockholmská policie a komisař Wallander s ním nemá nic společného - tedy oficiálně. Jenže zmizelý důstojník se měl stát tchánem jeho dcery. A tak se Wallander brzy zaplete do věcí, po kterých mu úředně nic není, slibuje, co vzápětí nesplní, dokonce i lže, když je to zapotřebí - a vychází mu to. Brzy ale narazí na matoucí špionážní aktivity, které se váží ještě k době studené války… Přidávají se ale další nečekané překážky. Co překročil šedesátku, má komisař pocit, že se nachází na prahu senility. Zoufale se drží naděje, kterou pro něj zosobňuje nedávno narozená vnučka, ale životní realita ho dohání. Do budoucnosti hledí s velkou nejistotou a zdá se nevyhnutelné, že se musí tváří v tvář utkat s tím nejvzpurnějším soupeřem: sám se sebou. Henning Mankell vytvořil v komisaři Wallanderovi jednu z nejzajímavějších postav současného detektivního světa. Mankell dvakrát získal Cenu švédské akademie autorů detektivní literatury, za své knihy obdržel různá uznání ve Skandinávii, Evropě i Americe.

Netradiční oslava slunovratu v maskách a kostýmech z 18. století má nešťastný konec – trojice mladých lidí, která se jí zúčastnila, se pohřešuje. Když je pak Wallanderův kolega Svedberg, který se do pátrání po nich pustil na vlastní pěst, nalezen mrtev, uvědomí si komisař, že má co do činění s nemilosrdným vrahem. Sedmý díl série případů komisaře Wallandera. „Napětí v souboji neúprosného zabijáka a policistů, kteří ve snaze dospět alespoň k náznaku nějakého řešení už ani nevědí, co je spánek, se neustále stupňuje.

Audiokniha: Henning Mankell je mezinárodně nejprodávanější švédský autor. Jiří Vyorálek představuje v prvním případu jeho slavného komisaře, zasmušilého bručouna, Kurta Wallandera... Komisaře Kurta Wallandera opustila žena, dcera s ním příliš nekomunikuje a jeho otec propadá senilitě. Pocity vyčerpanosti a zmaru vyvrcholí brzkým ranním výjezdem ke zdánlivě rutinnímu případu na osamělé farmě. Uprostřed mrazivého lednového rána na něj totiž čeká šokující místo činu: brutálně zavražděný starý muž a jeho manželka téměř zadušená smyčkou se zvláštním uzlem. Jediným svědectvím staré ženy, která v nemocnici podlehne svým zraněním, však zůstává slovo: „cizí“. Když zjištěná informace unikne do médií, má Wallander co dělat nejen s neznámými pachateli, ale rovněž s xenofobní vlnou násilí proti obyvatelům místního uprchlického tábora. Příležitost seznámit se s tímto báječným antihrdinou lidskosti, plným pochyb o vlastním životě a značně deprimovaným tím, jak hrůzné události vyjevují odpudivou stránku švédské společnosti… Pro ty, kdo Wallandera ještě neznají, je to kniha, kterou je třeba začít objevovat Mankellovo románové dílo.

Reveals how the pyramids of Egypt were sophisticated generators of clean energy. Sharing extensive new evidence and cutting-edge research that the Great Pyramid at Giza was built as an energy-harvesting machine, Christopher Dunn details how the ancient Egyptians were generating clean power for their civilization and reveals how the pyramid builders and the great inventor Nikola Tesla were drawing from the same universal knowledge. Looking at each part of the Great Pyramid, from the internal chambers to its massive stone blocks to the pyramidion on top, Dunn reveals how the pyramids in Egypt served to stimulate the release and collection of electrons in the Earth’s crust by harmonizing seismic energy while also attenuating the accumulating stresses.Drawing on exhaustive ongoing research by NASA scientists into the phenomenon known as “earthquake lights,” the author shows how the pyramid builders were inspired by this phenomenon and learned to stress igneous rocks similar to tectonic plate movement in order to harvest the resulting electron flow, which also enabled the pyramids to mitigate any impending earthquakes. He looks in depth at recent research that supports the pyramid energy theory, including new explorations of the shafts of the Queen’s Chamber, Russian research on how the Great ...

A brand-new translation of a philosophical classic of the ancient world, The Teaching of Ptahhatp, written in Egypt 4,000 years ago. The Teaching of Ptahhatp, composed two millennia before the birth of Plato, is the oldest surviving statement of philosophy in the ancient world and the earliest witness to the power of the written word. It ought to begin the list of the world’s philosophy classics, yet it has been largely forgotten since it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century.Egyptologist Bill Manley’s new translation corrects this oversight, rendering into approachable modern English for the first time Ptahhatp’s profound yet practical account of ‘the meaning of life’, written many centuries before the supposed dawn of western philosophy. Manley introduces Ptahhatp, who served as Vizier to the Old Kingdom pharaoh Izezi (c. 2410–2375 BC), and the world of dynamic ideas and new technologies – writing among them – within which he worked, illuminating the nuances of his language and philosophy.In addition, Manley’s new translation of Why Things Happen, the oldest surviving account of creation from anywhere in the world, reveals how Ptahhatp’s account of the human condition is founded in distinctive ancient Egyptian beliefs about the nature of truth and reality.
