Sedem sestier - audiokniha


Strhujúci úvodný román historicko-romantickej série o neuveriteľných osudoch nevlastných sestier Maie, Ally, Star, Cece, Tiggy, Electry a Merope, siedmych sestrách, vychádza z mytologického príbehu o Plejádach, ktoré Zeus v záujme ich bezpečia umiestnil na oblohu v podobe žiarivej hviezdokopy. Každý príbeh sa začína v nádhernom zámku na brehu Ženevského jazera, domove všetkých sestier. Zídu sa tam po správe o smrti milovaného otca, tajomného miliardára, ktorý ich adoptoval v útlom detstve z rozličných končín sveta a každej zanechal obálku s odkazom na ich minulosť a záhadný pôvod. Prvý diel opisuje príbeh Maie, najstaršej sestry, ktorú jej pátranie po pravej identite zavedie na druhý koniec sveta do schátranej vily v brazílskom Riu de Janeiro. Kúsky rodinnej mozaiky jej odhalia nečakané súvislosti so záhadným príbehom lásky spojeným s Parížom a so stavbou slávnej sochy Krista Spasiteľa týčiacej sa na hore Corcovado nad najkrajším mestom sveta. "Láska nepozná vzdialenosť, nerozlišuje kontinenty; má oči iba pre hviezdy." Interpret: Zuzana Kapráliková

Obrázky z domova


Jednou z největších osobností české moderní literatury je bezesporu Karel Čapek. Opět si to lze ověřit poslechem jeho Obrázků z domova. Také zde se ukazuje Čapkův pozorovací talent a jedinečné literární mistrovství. I v nejdrobnějších literárních útvarech umí plasticky, přístupně a přitom přesně a jasně vyprávět, všímá si věcí, kterých by si nikdo druhý nepovšiml.
