Zpovědi
Je konec září roku 2001 a New York je polepený fotografiemi pohřešovaných po útocích na Světové obchodní centrum. Mezi nimi je i otec Cory Bradyové – plakátek, který sama vytvořila, rozvěsila po sloupech a mostech. Matka jí zemřela už dávno a osiřelá Cora se teď na prahu dospělosti cítí ztracená a osamělá. Zanedlouho však dostane dopis s nabídkou nového života: daleko, v drsném irském kraji, ve městě, kde vyrůstali její rodiče, jí teta může poskytnout domov a splnit dávno zapomenutý slib. Právě v Irsku se skrývá příběh její rodiny a ona jej postupně začne rozplétat… Ve Zpovědích, dechberoucím debutu nadané spisovatelky, sledujeme tři generace žen, jež každá ve své době zakouší neodolatelnou přitažlivost minulosti.

Georgij Zsukov - Sztálin pörölye
Georgij Zsukov a XX. század hadtörténetének egyik legismertebb és legkiemelkedőbb alakja. Parasztcsaládból származott, a második világháborúban szovjet győzelmek fényes sorozata fűződik a nevéhez. Katonai pályafutása az első világháborúban kezdődött, ahol kitüntetéssel szolgált a cári hadseregben. Később, az orosz polgárháború alatt belépett a Vörös Hadseregbe, és hozzáértő, bátor parancsnokként szilárdította meg tekintélyét. A hajthatatlanságáról, kiváló vezetői, taktikai képességeiről és harctéri határozottságáról ismert Zsukov döntő szerepet játszott a keleti front legtöbb fontos csatájában, a többi között Moszkva védelmében, a sztálingrádi csatában vagy a Bagratyion hadműveletben is. Hatalmas szerepe volt a nácizmus legyőzésében, ezért ma is sokan csodálják és tanulmányozzák pályáját.

Párbeszéd a groteszkről
Örkény István interjúinak gyűjteményével a reflektor most az életműsorozatban eddig megjelent művekről a művek háttérvilágára irányul. Egy remek társalgó beszélget kendőzetlenül főleg életrajzi és irodalmi témákról, könnyedén elhárítva minden próbálkozást, hogy szoborrá avassák: saját figuráját és sorsát is olykor metsző szarkazmussal kezeli, öniróniára mindig készen áll akkor is, amikor alkotói szemléletéről és technikájáról kérdezik. Az általa oly magas szintre emelt groteszkről szerényen azt mondja: írói eszközeit csak hozzácsupaszította a világhoz, a századhoz. Politikus írónak nevezi magát, aki bármilyen áttételesen is, mindig ugyanarról írt: „a mi korunkról és benne mirólunk, a mi népünk jelenéről”. Ez a nép pedig – szegezi kíméletlen kritikáját egyúttal nekünk, olvasóknak is – önsajnálattal, morális önfelmentéssel, a történelmi vétkek elkenésével nem válhat „felnőtt” nemzetté. Az interjúknak ezek a komoly pillanatai is feloldódnak Örkény közvetlen és világos beszédében, amelyet természettudományos műveltségéből hozott. Élvezet hallgatni egy éles intellektus evidenciaként ható, lényegre fókuszáló mondatait. Kíváncsisága és derűje pedig ragadós: kedvet csinál élethez, irodalomhoz.
