Justice can be a blunt instrument "Men like him usually tell the story. In business. Politics. Media. But not this time: I repeat, he is not writing this story." Ritchie Gulliver MP is dead. Castrated and left to bleed in an empty Leith warehouse. Vicious, racist and corrupt, many thought he had it coming. But nobody could have predicted this. After the life Gulliver has led, the suspects are many: corporate rivals, political opponents, the countless groups he's offended. And the vulnerable and marginalised, who bore the brunt of his cruelty - those without a voice, without a choice, without a chance. As Detective Ray Lennox unravels the truth, and the list of brutal attacks grows, he must put his personal feelings aside. But one question refuses to go away... Who are the real victims here?

Hrdinové Trainspottingu se vracejí na místo činu, do Edinburghu: Mark Renton z Amsterdamu, Simon Williamson z Londýna, Frank Begbie z vězení... Leith je příliš malý, než aby na sebe nenarazili. Všichni jsou o pár let starší, ze společné minulosti jako by přetrvaly hlavně křivdy, je lepší mít se před ostatními na pozoru - hlavně před Begbiem. Heroin je minulostí, finanční nouze je však věčná. Simon je odhodlaný prorazit v pornoprůmyslu, a groteskní peripetie natáčení pornofilmu Welsh s gustem líčí na mnoha stránkách svého románu. v pozadí však cítíme jiné téma: všichni hrdinové dospívají do věku, kdy rekapitulují dosavadní život, což nevede k radostným úvahám. Porno se stalo východiskem pro nový napjatě očekávaný film Dannyho Boyla, režiséra legendárního Trainspottingu, který dostal název T2 Trainspotting.

Audiokniha: „V zásadě žijem krátkej, frustrující život a potom umřem.“ Zabíjet čas lze všelijak. Člověk může třeba čučet na vlaky a porovnávat jejich příjezdy a odjezdy s číslíčky v jízdním řádu. Nebo si může něco střelit. Koneckonců když najdeš na zanícený žíle správnej spot, kam si to šlehnout, nájezd ti taky připomene náraz lokomotivy… Feťák Mark Renton alias Rentboy a jeho kámoši z edinburského sídliště se potácejí v životě ode zdi ke zdi nebo spíš od dávky k dávce. Spojují je krádeže a potyčky s policií, sexuální eskapády, kamarádství i zrady, blaho ze super fetu i bolesti z propadů do absťáku. Vypadnout z bludného kruhu bezradné existence není hračka – ne každému se to podaří a někteří o to ani nestojí. Ti, kdo přece jen touží po pevnější opoře, ale půjdou ve svém zoufalství i přes mrtvoly. Sotva se tihle antihrdinové pokusí kruh rozetnout, změní se jim před očima ve spirálu. V jejím silovém poli se pak buď v čím dál rychlejších otočkách řítí k poslednímu šlehu, anebo se zákruty dříve či později spojí do kruhu „spořádaného“ života, jemuž je snazší se cynicky vysmívat než se z něj vymanit. Černohumorné historky partičky narkomanů ze severního Edinburghu utvářejí románové pásmo, které se stalo předlohou stejnojmenného kultovního filmu Dannyho Boylea z roku 1996. „Welsh je jedním z nejoriginálnějších britských spisovatelů. Jeho psaní má švih, imaginaci a především silné poselství.“ – The Times. „Jeden z nejvíce buřičských a zároveň nejsdílnějších románů dvacátého století. Ještě po třiceti letech dovede Welshův styl strhnout čtenáře vitalitou i břitkostí.“ – Tom Walker, šéfredaktor Folio Society. „Většina recenzí zdůrazňuje drsnou a drásavou nechutnost předlohy. (…) Aspektem, který by ale měl být většině lidí nepříjemný, je zobrazení propasti mezi dělnickou třídou a většinovým čtenářem těchto novin. Trainspotting totiž boří pohodlné představy o beztřídní společnosti.“ – The Independent . „Román se trvale nachází ve stavu výbuchu verbálního průjmu. Slangově spektakulární příběhy, které předkládá, dráždí jako zvratky v krku.“ – Scotland on Sunday. „Autor dokáže ze svých zmařených duší čerpat skvělý vtip a elán. Obzvlášť působivý je v rytmice řeči a básnivém využití slangu a obscénností, jimiž text přibližuje skutečnosti.“ – The Guardian. „Život je nudnej a zbytečnej. Začínáme s velkejma nadějema, pak se jich leknem. Uvědomíme si, že všichni umřeme, než najdeme základní vodpovědi. Vypracujeme si všelijaký rozvláčný představy, kerý akorát trochu jinak přeřikaj realitu, ve kerý žijem, místo bysme dovopravdy nějak zvětšili množství užitečnejch vědomostí vo důležitejch věcech, těch pravejch věcech. V zásadě žijem krátkej, frustrující život a potom umřem. Zaplníme si životy sračkama, jako sou kariéry a vztahy, abysme si namluvili, že to celý neni uplně zbytečný. Herák je upřímná droga, protože tyhlety sebeklamy strhne.“ – úryvek z textu.

Další a patrně poslední návrat k hrdinům Trainspottingu ke čtenáři opět přivádí starou známou čtveřici - Marka, Begbieho, Simona, Spuda. Všichni jsou zas o něco starší, v nových životních rolích. Mark vydělává slušné peníze pořádáním tanečních parties; nikde nezakotvil, cestuje po celém světě, ale ve světě letišť a hotelů spokojenost a spočinutí nenachází. Z Franka Begbieho se překvapivě stal uznávaný umělec, který dokáže zapomenout na staré křivdy a při náhodném setkání už nemá potřebu se Markovi pomstít. Simon i Spud mají vlastní projekty na hraně zákona i za ní; černý obchod s lidskými orgány je ale velké sousto i na ně. Opětovné shledání někdejších přátel nevede k idylickému vzpomínání, ale ke sledu nehod a krizí, který nemůže dopadnout dobře. Jeden z nich z tohoto románu nevyvázne živý. Někdo z nich nosí kalhoty mrtvého muže. Zběsile rychlý, přisprostle zábavný a znepokojivě dojemný návrat ke staré partě z Trainspottingu.

Mark Renton is finally a success. An international jet-setter, he now makes significant money managing DJs, but the constant travel, airport lounges, soulless hotel rooms and broken relationships have left him dissatisfied with his life. He’s then rocked by a chance encounter with Frank Begbie, from whom he’d been hiding for years after a terrible betrayal and the resulting debt. But the psychotic Begbie appears to have reinvented himself as a celebrated artist and – much to Mark’s astonishment – doesn’t seem interested in revenge. Sick Boy and Spud, who have agendas of their own, are intrigued to learn that their old friends are back in town, but when they enter the bleak world of organ-harvesting, things start to go so badly wrong. Lurching from crisis to crisis, the four men circle each other, driven by their personal histories and addictions, confused, angry – so desperate that even Hibs winning the Scottish Cup doesn’t really help. One of these four will not survive to the end of this book. Which one of them is wearing Dead Men’s Trousers?

''It was a weekday, an ordinary morning, business hours drawing near, but the evanescent appearance of the square said that anything might be about to happen - an operetta, a harlequinade, a pantomime, a fantasy...'' In these delightful, melancholy prose sketches Maeve Brennan goes in pursuit of the ordinary, taking us on a tour of the cheap hotels, unassuming restaurants, and crowded streets that make up New York City. Brennan presents herself as The Long-Winded Lady, solitary wanderer and wry observer of the human comedy. Whether she is riding the subway, struggling with her broccoli in a restaurant or watching lovers quarrel on Washington Square, Brennan manages to capture the wavering spectacle of the metropolis with an uncanny precision that makes these slight essays at once hallucinatory and hyperreal. Originally written for The New Yorker between 1954 and 1981 and presented here in full with a new introduction by Sinead Gleeson, these pieces reveal Maeve Brennan to be one of the twentieth century''s most accomplished documentarians of city life, and one of its finest essayists.

Is it a sign of the grocer's unerring ideology? Or a symbol of the lies we perform to protect ourselves?

eBook: Well -- I failed to sell the Works, and that increased my discontent. I went through moods of cold unsociability, alternating with sudden flushes of curiosity, when I gloated over stray scraps of talk overheard in railway stations and omnibuses, when strange faces that I passed in the street tantalized me with fugitive promises. I wanted to get away, among things that were unexpected and unknown; and it seemed to me that nobody about me understood in the least what I felt, but that somewhere just out of reach there was some one who did, and whom I must find or despair. . . .

Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.

It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wetsuit and plunges from the boat deck into darkness. His divelight illuminates a sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats. Missing from the crash site are the plane's black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit - by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the atom bomb; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. From the bar rooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness, and one of the final works by Cormac McCarthy, a true American master.
