Vycházky Palestinou. Zápisky o mizející krajině


Země zaslíbená – ale komu? Západní břeh řeky Jordán měl podle dohod z Osla tvořit součást území pod Palestinskou národní správou. Izrael ale začal podporovat vznik osad, které spolu s hlídkujícími vojáky omezují a vytlačují palestinské obyvatele a zásadně proměňují krajinu. Zelené kopce zalévá beton. Pak vyrůstá zeď. To se odehrává před našima očima během sedmi vycházek nejznámějšího palestinského spisovatele Raje Shehadeha, které uskutečnil během třicet let. Za svou knihu získal prestižní britskou Orwellovu cenu. Na první z nich se vydal na konci sedmdesátých let a tehdy ještě procházel divokou krajinou, kde jako by se teprve včera odehrály příběhy známé z Bible. Shehadeh kopce kolem Rámalláhu, kde se narodil a žije, velmi dobře zná. Stejně jako krajinu kolem Mrtvého moře. A jako právník a lidskoprávní aktivista poznal za desítky let zblízka i bezpráví izraelského osadnictví na Západním břehu. Nehraje na emoce, popisuje, co vidí, a drží se faktů. Každá vycházka nás vede konkrétními místy a postupně také palestinskou historií spojenou i s osudem Shehadehovy rodiny, která musela utéct z Jaffy a usídlila se na Západním břehu. Jedinečnost této knihy spočívá i v časosběrné metodě, kdy autorovýma očima sledujeme, co se stalo s dříve téměř netknutou přírodou, a zároveň si uvědomujeme důsledky politických rozhodnutí v palestinsko-izraelském sporu. Spolu se Shehadehem procházíme nejen mezi typickými kopci, kolem pramenů a vádí nebo zbytků starého osídlení, ale také skrze vesnice a předměstí, kolem nově vybudované zdi a izraelských osad. Tam, kde se obyvatelé palestinských vsí bojí pouštět děti samotné nebo sklízet své olivy. Občas autora někdo doprovází, jindy se dává do řeči s osadníkem, nejčastěji se stává objektem úřednické a vojenské šikany, jednou dokonce cílem neznámých střelců. Psaní, jak sám konstatuje, mu pomáhá nezahořknout. Vycházky Palestinou patří k Shehadehovým nejznámějším textům a vyšly v několika doplněných vydáních. Jedinečným způsobem se v nich mísí autorův talent pozorovatele, který dokáže zachytit kouzlo krajiny z pohledu téměř archetypálního poutníka, a drastická realita území, na němž se na svých vycházkách pohybuje. Kniha vychází v překladu Jana Škroba v edici Prokletí reportéři.

Chasing Evil


How a skeptical FBI agent reached out to a famous psychic for help on a baffling case – and the twenty-five-year crime-solving journey that followedCentring on the investigation of the gruesome John Smith murders that rocked the nation, Chasing Evil is a heart-stopping story of murder, justice and finding help in unexpected places. In the summer of 1998, FBI agent Bob Hilland reluctantly picked up the phone to call the famous psychic John Edward. Bob didn’t expect much from the call, but he was working on an unsolvable cold case and had nowhere else to turn. What Bob never imagined was that the call would lead to a shattering of all his preconceived notions, a huge break in the cold case and an unlikely crime-solving partnership that spanned twenty-five years. As Bob and John took on more cases together, they slowly learned how to rely on each other and trust their skills, ultimately finding not only justice for the crimes they solved, but resolution and healing in their own lives.

'In this remarkable book, utterly gripping over 400 pages, high-end novelised non-fiction takes a big leap forward' MAIL ON SUNDAY'This is a stylish, intelligent page-turner, as gripping as a thriller film script' THE TIMES'It's a hell of a story... The Talented Mr Ripley meets the Nouvelle Vague. A masterclass in narrating' THE TELEGRAPH'Comprehensive...engaging...polished' THE SPECTATOR'Evocative, gripping and beautifully written. I've recommended this book to everyone I know' EMERALD FENNELL 'Highly original, atmospheric and brilliantly conceived, Murder in Paris '68, a true story, reads like a tremendous thriller: fascinating, disturbing and shrewdly compelling.' WILLIAM BOYD'A magnificent read' LAWRENCE OSBORNEFrom the author of A Waiter In Paris... In 1960s Paris, the high-life and the low-life go hand in hand. It is a time of glamour, sports cars, casinos and night clubs with a cast of actresses, petty criminals, high-level gangsters and compromised politicians. And with French cinema taking the world by storm, the man at the dark heart of it all is an enigmatic film star dubbed 'the most beautiful man in the world'. With a shady past and a taste for bad company, Alain Delon lives on the edge. But when a dead body turns up in the outskirts of Paris that turns out to be his associate, Stevan, questions begin to be asked. That Delon shot to stardom playing the stylish and murderous Tom Ripley does not go unnoticed. Is art imitating life or is life imitating art? And who killed Stevan Markovi? dward Chisholm, author of the acclaimed A Waiter In Paris submerses the reader into the city's demimonde and draws us intimately into events as they unfold. And as we inhabit the lives of the players in this extraordinary true-life drama, we witness what became to be known as The Markovic Affair from the inside, as it spirals out of control and not only pulls down Alain Delon but everyone in his orbit. For fans of Patrick Radden Keefe, David Grann and Philippe Sands, A Murder In Paris '68 may be the best non-fiction you read this year. 'An engrossing book. Through the story of a murder, it takes us back to Paris in the 1960s. As in A Waiter in Paris, Edward Chisholm pierces the glitter to find the city's seamy underside. And unlike the police of the time, he seems to have cracked the case.' SIMON KUPER'A tremendous achievement, genre-defining, sexy, supple, scary. Chisholm gets us into the heads of all the characters, with the noir of Ripley and the street style and ineffable cool of New Wave.' JASON SOLOMONS, film critic and producer

Moon Touched – A Hold érintése - Éldekorált kiadás


Éldekorált kiadás A sorsszerű társam visszautasított, és most valaki olyan tart fogságban, aki még nála is rosszabb. A Rák-falkában, félig ember lévén, számkivetett pária voltam. Egész életemben vertek és gúnyoltak. Farkasalakom és sorsszerű társam megszerzése volt az egyetlen esélyem, hogy új falkát találjak magamnak, és reménykedhessek egy jobb életben. Csak éppen a sorsszerű társamról kiderült, hogy a legádázabb ellenfelünk, az Oroszlán-falka leendő alfája. Mindenki szeme láttára utasított el, aztán az Oroszlánok lemészárolták az egész falkámat, és kiirtották a családomat. Nekem sikerült elmenekülnöm, de végül egy sokkal veszélyesebb alak fogságába kerültem: a titokzatos elveszett falka alfájának karmai közé. A tizenharmadik csillagjegy falkáját réges-rég kizárták a Zodiákus Farkasok soraiból, és én azt hittem, hogy csak a legendákban léteznek. Pedig nagyon is valóságosak. Fogva tartanak, és a sötét, veszedelmes alfa olyasmit kínál nekem, amit nem utasíthatok vissza – a bosszút.

Event Horizon


Seventeen-year-old Milde is from the Outskirts, a place beyond the mountains where the dirt is corpse-rich, where mothers and daughters, banished from society, make their living – without rights, access to care or legal status. But Milde refuses to accept the order of things and, together with two friends, she revolts against the government’s injustice. Arrested, imprisoned and tortured, Milde is eventually presented with a stark choice: a public execution, or participation in an experimental mission that will send her into space, into a black hole known as the Mass. She chooses the Mass, opting to face its fathomless depth and loneliness rather than hurt the morale of her weary community back home. Collapsing and expanding myth and reality, Event Horizon is an exquisite existential novel, dark as deep space, and woven with reflections on oppression, solidarity, trauma and loss.
