Vábenie temnoty
Kolekcia najlepších a dosiaľ nepublikovaných poviedok od kultového rozprávača
„Obľúbili ste si temnotu? Fajn, ja tiež,“ píše Stephen King v doslove tejto výnimočnej zbierky dvanástich krátkych poviedok, z ktorých mnohé doteraz ešte neboli publikované. A práve tienisté stránky života predstavujú ústredný motív príbehov, v ktorých King opúšťa hranice všednosti a posúva ich až k nadprirodzenosti. Lebo „práve snenie a monštrá tvoria nevyhnutnú zložku duševného zdravia“ človeka a nemožno si pred nimi zakrývať oči.
Čo ak by sa niekomu napríklad snívalo o mieste, kde je zahrabaná mŕtvola? Uveril by mu niekto, že to bol len sen alebo by ho podozrievali z vraždy? Odpoveď sa skrýva v poviedke Zlý sen Dannyho Coughlina. Poviedka Štrkáče voľne nadväzuje na Kingov román Cujo a sleduje ďalšie osudy Vica Trentona. V poviedke My, ktorým sa sníva sa Williamovi Davisovi prostredníctvom zvláštneho inzerátu v novinách otvoria dvere k nečakanému poznaniu. Úvodné strany poviedky Odpovedač napísal King ako tridsaťročný no príbeh dokončil až o desiatky rokov neskôr. Dá sa predvídavosť považovať za dar alebo prekliatie? Má život poznačený desivou tragédiou ešte nejaký zmysel?
Každý príbeh ponúka jedinečné odpovede a vyvoláva ešte viac otázok.

Žádné dobré zprávy
Komisařka Výrová na stopě bezcitného sériového vraha
Loupežné přepadení studentky, které se zvrtlo. Nemotivovaná vražda ukrajinské profesorky historie, jež do Česka utekla před válkou. Zběsilý útok na oblastní manažerku bezpečnostní agentury. Zemřel vyznavač konspiračních teorií skutečně přirozenou smrtí? Souvisejí spolu tyto události, nebo se jedná jen o sled náhod? A není těch zločinů víc?
Bývalá policejní komisařka Marie Výrová se po tragickém vyústění svého posledního případu rozhodla věnovat jen rodině a výuce na právnické fakultě a už se nikdy neplést do žádného vyšetřování. Jenže pak se jí ozve starý kamarád s prosbou…
V románu Žádné dobré zprávy čtenáři najdou poutavé intimní i společenské drama, lásku, žárlivost, sex, manipulaci i nenávist. Chybět nemůže ani nezaměnitelná atmosféra olomouckých historických náměstí, úzkých uliček a starých univerzitních budov. A také nevlídné pusté cesty mezi zmrzlými poli a tajemná stavení obývaná „muži, kteří nenávidí ženy“. A zuřiví psi. A zlo, které plodí zlo, ale i spravedlnost, která má společně s rukou zákona nakonec vždycky trochu navrch.

The Jewish Pedlar
An imaginative investigation into a historical crime that sheds new light on Jewish history. In 1734 a pedlar turned smuggler named Jacob Harris slit the throats of three people in a pub in Sussex. This triple-murder, for which he was hanged and gibbeted, remains the most violent crime ever committed by a British Jew. Yet today it is all but forgotten. In The Jewish pedlar, Tony Kushner goes in search of the enigmatic Harris. Digging into a remarkable range of sources, from law records and newspaper reports to ballads and folktales, he follows the traces of Harris’s legend across three hundred years of British history. In doing so, he reconstructs the world of Jewish pedlars and criminals across many continents. The lives these figures eked out at the margins of society paint a picture of persistent antisemitism – but also of remarkable integration. Intellectually bold and deeply humane, The Jewish pedlar takes a new, grassroots approach to the history of Jews in the modern world, shedding light on everyday lives from the Enlightenment to the Holocaust and beyond. -- .
