NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - SOON TO BE A TNT ORIGINAL SERIES "A first-rate tale of crime and punishment that will keep readers guessing until the final pages."--Entertainment Weekly "Caleb Carr's rich period thriller takes us back to the moment in history when the modern idea of the serial killer became available to us."--The Detroit News When The Alienist was first published in 1994, it was a major phenomenon, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list, receiving critical acclaim, and selling millions of copies. This modern classic continues to be a touchstone of historical suspense fiction for readers everywhere. The year is 1896. The city is New York. Newspaper reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned by his friend Dr. Laszlo Kreizler--a psychologist, or "alienist"--to view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge. From there the two embark on a revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before their hunt is over. Fast-paced and riveting, infused with historical detail, The Alienist conjures up Gilded Age New York, with its tenements and mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. It is an age in which questioning society's belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and fatal consequences. Praise for The Alienist "[A] delicious premise . . . Its settings and characterizations are much more sophisticated than the run-of-the-mill thrillers that line the shelves in bookstores."--The Washington Post Book World "Mesmerizing."--Detroit Free Press "The method of the hunt and the disparate team of hunters lift the tale beyond the level of a good thriller--way beyond. . . . A remarkable combination of historical novel and psychological thriller."--The Buffalo News "Engrossing."--Newsweek "A ripsnorter of a plot . . . a fine dark ride."--The Arizona Daily Star "Remarkable . . . The reader is taken on a whirlwind tour of the Gilded Age metropolis, climbing up tenement stairs, scrambling across rooftops, and witnessing midnight autopsies. . . . A breathtaking, finely crafted mystery."--Richmond Times-Dispatch "Gripping, atmospheric . . . intelligent and entertaining."--USA Today "A high-spirited, charged-up and unfailingly smart thriller."--Los Angeles Times "Keeps readers turning pages well past their bedtime."--San Francisco Chronicle "Harrowing, fascinating . . . will please fans of Ragtime and The Silence of the Lambs."--The Flint Journal (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Na samém počátku Schlinkova románu stojí událost ryze osobní, ne-li přímo soukromá: totiž onemocnění žloutenkou. V jeho průběhu však dojde k přesahu, který se bezprostředně dotýká osudu a svědomí jednoho z největších evropských národů.Když se patnáctiletému chlapci Michaelu Bergovi udělá na ulici zle, pomůže mu jistá žena, Hanna Schmitzová. Hoch ji později vyhledá a z jejich setkání se vyvine milostný vztah – vztah nerovný a současně ojedinělý, neboť oba aktéry od sebe dělí více než dvacet let. Přestože Hanna pracuje jako průvodčí tramvaje a její vzdělání očividně není valné, po svém milenci vyžaduje, aby jí ve volných chvílích předčítal knihy. Později však Hanna za tajemných okolností zmizí a Michael se s ní opět setká jako student práv na konci šedesátých let – při procesu s nacistickými válečnými zločinci.Předčítač se po svém vydání dočkal rozporuplného přijetí; od nadšených ohlasů, srovnávajících jej například s Grassovým Plechovým bubínkem, až po odsudky vyčítající knize, že morálně nivelizuje vztah mezi oběťmi a vrahy. Ať už se však jeho čtenáři přiklánějí na jakoukoliv stranu, je takový rozptyl názorů jasným dokladem toho, že Předčítač je stále živé dílo, které zneklidňuje a pokládá otázky. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha:,Patnáctiletému Michaelovi pomůže v nesnázích o generaci starší Hanna a její nezištné gesto vyústí v několikaměsíční vášnivý poměr. Když pak mladík už jako student práv přihlíží procesu, jenž má potrestat dozorkyně z nacistického koncentračního tábora, s údivem na lavici obžalovaných nachází i svou někdejší milostnou zasvětitelku. Hanna se před soudem hájí dost neobratně a Michael se snaží vyznat v tom, co mu tenkrát o své minulosti zatajila – nakonec však ani se znalostí důležité okolnosti nepromluví v její prospěch. Čím vším ještě hrdinu překvapí nevyzpytatelná žena, která měla tak ráda, když jí po milování předčítal? Próza vyprávěná v mužské ich formě promýšlí na pozadí osudové lásky otázku německé viny za zločiny druhé světové války: poodkrývá jak rozdílná stanoviska pokolení pachatelů, tak tápání jejich dětí a vnuků. Novelu roku 2008 v německo-americké koprodukci zfilmoval britský režisér Stephen Daldry s Kate Winsletovou, Davidem Krossem a Ralphem Fiennesem v hlavních rolích. „Postava Hanny by se dala chápat jako zobecnění německého dilematu mezi vzpomínkou a pokáním. Bylo by však liché knihu považovat za alegorii o jistém národě. Přináší (…) osobitou úvahu o tom, zda můžeme žít i poté, co jsme se tak chmurně zapletli s velkými dějinami.“ - Richard Bernstein, The New York Times Book Review „Dobrá literatura dává čtenáři poznat sebe sama. Tento příběh, vyprávěný velmi věcným stylem, se člověku do mysli vpije hodně hluboko.“ - Jaroslav Blažke, ceskaliteratura.cz (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A compelling, at times devastating, ultimately inspiring account of how much can go wrong on the ocean and how, miraculously, one woman conquered her own fears. Young and in love, their lives ahead of them, Tami Oldham and her fianc Richard Sharp set sail from Tahiti under brilliant blue skies, with Tami’s hometown of San Diego as their ultimate destination. But less than two weeks into their voyage, disaster struck. Despite their best efforts to steer clear of an approaching hurricane, they became trapped in the storm’s path, and found themselves battling pounding rain, waves the size of skyscrapers, and 140 knot winds. Richard tethered himself to the boat and sent Tami below to safety, and then all went eerily quiet. Tami’s last memory was her fianc’s scream, followed by darkness. She awoke hours later, alone, venturing on deck to discover only Richard’s safety line, the clasp meant to hold him broken. Adrift is the story of Tami’s miraculous forty-one-day journey to safety on a ravaged boat with no motor and no masts, sustained by Richard’s memory to guide her. It’s an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and survival on the high seas, and an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
