Zápisky z vězení


Bestseller bývalého francouzského prezidenta a jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů světa, jehož zatčení vzbudilo mezinárodní rozruch a přepsalo dějiny „Ve vězení není co vidět ani co dělat. Slyšet lze naopak mnoho, neboť ticho ve věznici La Santé neexistuje. Hluk je tam pohříchu neustálý. Ve vězení stejně jako na poušti sílí vnitřní život.“ Bývalý francouzský prezident Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012) byl na podzim roku 2025 odsouzen za zločinné spolčení k pěti letům vězení. Údajně totiž nepřímo oslovil osoby blízké libyjskému diktátorovi Muammaru Kaddáfímu a dohodl se s nimi na financování své prezidentské kampaně, což ale vždy důrazně popíral. Poprvé v historii Evropské unie se hlava členského státu ocitla za mřížemi. I přes odvolání ve vězení strávil tři týdny a během nich psal. Ve svých zápiscích popisuje detaily pobytu v pařížské věznici La Santé, kde byl kdysi vězněn i generál Alfred Dreyfus. Vrací se k procesu, který uvěznění předcházel, i k nedávným rozhovorům s prezidentem Emmanuelem Macronem, s Marine Le Penovou a s dalšími současnými politickými představiteli Francie. Zamýšlí se nad svou politickou kariérou, dnešním stavem francouzské politiky i justice, jež jej podle jeho názoru soudí nikoli „za to, co udělal, ale za to, kým je“.

The Warrior


An intimate, original biography of tennis legend Rafael Nadal, and the first to cover his entire career. After his award-winning look at Roger Federer, Christopher Clarey, one of the world's pre-eminent tennis writers, focuses his lens on Nadal, the Spanish force of nature. When he arrived on the scene in 2005, the record for men's singles titles at the French Open stood at six. Nadal more than doubled that total to a mind-blowing fourteen titles: one of the greatest sporting achievements in history. Nadal won big and won often on all of tennis's surfaces: securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and six on the US Open and Australian Open hard courts. But clay, the grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all came together best for his whipping forehand and warrior mindset. Clarey, who has covered Nadal since he was seventeen, draws on interviews over twenty years with Nadal, his team and rivals like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Brimming with behind-the-scenes insight, The Warrior tells the story of a global sporting icon, interlacing man and place in a unique, must-read account of the evolution of excellence.
