Muž s prstenem


Říká se, že nadpoloviční většinu vražd žen spáchá jejich partner. V případě nezvykle brutální vraždy sestřičky z nemocnice v Kalnes ale všechno nasvědčuje tomu, že partner je v tom tentokrát nevinně a v okolí řádí sériový vrah. Na světlo postupem času vyplývají další skutečnosti, které ukazují na dávný, dosud nevyřešený případ mladé studentky ve vzdálené Voldě – je mezi nimi ale skutečná spojitost, nebo se jedná jen o slepou uličku? Bývalý policista Anton Brekke má navíc úplně jiné starosti – snaží se udržet si práci v nemocnici a nepropadnout své staré hráčské vášni. Když ho jeho bývalý parťák přijde požádat o radu, nemá žádnou motivaci se do případu zapojovat. To se ovšem změní, když zemře jedna z jeho pacientek. Že by i její smrt souvisela s vraždami, které vyšetřuje Magnus Torp? Při rozkrývání starých tajemství se ale může snadno stát, že bývalí kolegové narazí na protivníka, na kterého jejich síly stačit nebudou.

Representations of the Intellectual


Are intellectuals merely the servants of special interests or do they have a larger responsibility? In these wide-ranging essays, one of our most brilliant and fiercely independent public thinkers addresses this question with extraordinary eloquence. Said sees the intellectual as an exile and amateur whose role it is 'to speak the truth to power' even at the risk of ostracism or imprisonment. Drawing on the examples of Jonathan Swift and Theodor Adorno, Robert Oppenheimer and Henry Kissinger, Vietnam and the Gulf War, Said explores the implications of this idea and shows what happens when intellectuals succumb to the lures of money, power, or specialization.
