Jak je možné, že ještě žiju? Jak je možné po tom všem zůstat normální? V šíleném lidském světě?Který se nemění a nezmění. Je přece lhostejné, zda tu sedí váš otec nebo vy nebo váš syn nebo váš vnuk. Člověk zůstává stejný. Není naděje. Ani ve vás, ani ve mne, ani v našich dětech. Když všechny, jak tu stojíte a sedíte, postupně sloupnu z kůže, najdu to samé. Nelišíme se.Gita Lauschmannová, dívka sotva šestnáctiletá, přežila koncentrák a spěchá do rodných Puklic, aby po letech hrůz i strádání objala své blízké a znovu se vyspala ve své posteli. Vrátila se, aby zjistila, že se nemá kam vrátit. Válka skončila, běsnění nikoli. Gita Lauschmannová, energická žena na sklonku života, osudem drsně poznamenaná. Nenechala si život zošklivit úplně.Nastřádané vzpomínky ožívají. Gita shrnuje pásku z očí. Odvážně, nemilosrdně. Čas ovšem semele všechny a všechno po svém. Lze tomu navzdory dosáhnout spravedlnosti? Lze se domoci trestu za barbarské činy? Lze křivdy napravit? Ano i ne. Svůj talíř si však každý musí vyjíst sám. Hlavně se udržet v lati, nezkolabovat, neječet.Román o bolestných kapitolách poválečné střední Evropy je šokujícím příběhem o kolektivní vine a individuální odpovědnosti a křehké hranici mezi dobrem a zlem.Čte: Zuzana SlavíkováRežie: Jan DrbohlavHudba: Štěpách ŠkochDélka záznamu: 9 hod 01 min1 MP3 CD

Krev na kapradíOsm příběhů z období vlády krále Přemysla Otakara II. Hlavním vyšetřovatelem je královský prokurátor Oldřich z Chlumu, kterého provází nerozluční pomocníci panoš Ota, velitel Diviš a také inteligentní, zvědavá manželka Ludmila z Vartemberka. Druhá část knihy se skládá z deseti středověkých soudniček, v nichž vystupují znepřátelení členové městských cechů, rytíři, přesvědčeni o své vlastní všemocnosti, chamtiví statkáři i členové loupeživé tlupy. Napínavé detektivní příběhy vykreslují prostředí a hrdiny středověku, které drsné podmínky a vlastní hříšné sklony přivedly tam, kde by se chtěl octnout jen málokdo.Krev na lopuchuPřes dvacet příběhů s detektivní zápletkou se odehrává v různých dobách od středověku až do 18. století. V poutavém vyprávění nás autor provede prostředím hradů a dvorských slavností, temných uliček měst a špinavých předměstí, prosperujících panství i zapadlých vesnic. Hlavními hrdiny příběhů s věrohodně vylíčenou atmosférou a živými dialogy jsou lidé rozmanitých cechů, stavů i řemesel. Od rytířů, vyrážejících na křížovou výpravu, pražské konšele, studenty až k vykonavatelkám nejstaršího řemesla. Nad lží, lidskou chamtivostí, žárlivostí a pověrami vítězí zdravý rozum a smysl pro spravedlnost, kterou do svých rukou někdy vezmou ti, od kterých by se to dalo nejméně očekávat.Interpret: Hyhlík JanDélka nahrávky: 16 hod. 47 min.

Je to známý vtip: Chcete Boha pobavit? Vyprávějte mu o svých plánech. Ale možná se stejně dobře baví, když si čte dalších čtyřicet Palánových rad, jak má vylepšit svět ještě o něco víc. A možná mu je četl už přes rameno, když je zrovna psal. Radit něco pánu Bohu sice zavání pýchou, ale Palánův nejvyšší arbitr má přímo čapkovské rysy, takže lidský svět mu není vzdálený ani cizí, má pochopení pro naše omyly, chyby a slabosti, i pro tyhle naše pošetilosti. A třeba je takový i ve skutečnosti...Volné pokračování čtenářsky úspěšných rad pánu Bohu je uzrálým vínem, které rozveseluje mysl, projasňuje chmurné dny a dýchá nadějí, že tu přece jenom nejsme sami. Autor se umí dívat kolem sebe i do sebe, a tak mu neunikají ty ohromné každodenní maličkosti i niterná hnutí, které dělají život tak jedinečným a neopakovatelným. Potom se stává i účtenka v hospodě či stará fotografie zážitkem. A možná nad tím i pán Bůh žasne, čeho si ten drzoun nevšimne.Ilustrace Evy Bartošové pak jednotlivá zamyšlení dokreslují a vtipně komentují.Interpret: Kroc VladimírDélka nahrávky: 3 hod. 40 min.

Benjamin Wilder grew up with sparse shelter, infested provisions, and constant abuse dealt to him by his stepfather: Jessup — a.k.a. the Rabid Dog. Without a sober mother to defend him from the Rabid Dog’s wrath, Ben finds reprieve and adventure in a club of misfit boys called the Black Machetes. But the world as Ben knows it comes to an end when he witnesses an act so psychologically appalling that it forces him to run for his life."Black Machetes" is a powerful page-turning thriller that all readers agree is both shocking and endearing, written in gritty-cinematic tones that paint a painfully intimate portrait of life framed by abuse, tragedy, and inhibited love.Disclaimer: the author cannot be held responsible for any sleep deprivation caused by the reader's inability to stop turning pages into the wee hours of the night.

Fired up by thoughts of revenge, the Russians soon mass on the borders of the Third Reich.

Honoré de Balzac is one of the most renowned French novelists. His magnum opus, La Comédie Humaine (The Human Comedy) is a panorama of life in France in the years after the fall of Napoleon; his keen observation of detail, subtle psychology and unfiltered representation of society gave him his place as one of the founders and great masters of realism in European literature. His characters are complex, morally ambiguous and utterly real. The Conscript is one of the stories from the great collection making up the Human Comedy; it captures the human cost of revolution in a terribly touching way. Madame de Dey is a noble, rich widow whose son, an officer in the dragoons, has chosen to follow the Princes into exile. She remains behind in a precarious position to look after his fortune. She is now awaiting her son's arrival in disguise.--

Five famous English historical figures, five controversial characters of almost legendary proportions, that have to be well-known and understood if one is interested in knowing about the English spirit and history. Sir Francis Drake was a sea captain and a privateer of the Elizabethan era; his exploits made him a hero to the English, but his privateering led the Spanish to brand him a pirate. Henry VIII was King in a time of extreme religious unrest, and became such a bloody monster that he was eventually called the "English Nero". Richard III is one of the most divisive and enigmatic figures in British history. His real tragedy was both personal and political; his story, replete with intrigue, murder, war, and treachery. Son of a thug, Thomas Cromwell rose up from the back alleys of rural Putney to be Henry VIII's right hand man, and was destroyed in the moment of his greatest triumph, ending up on the scaffold; he was the mastermind behind Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. The King wanted to marry Anne Boleyn, and so used Cromwell to begin the breaking of the Catholic Church's power in England; the divorce was eventually pronounced, Anne married the King, and it all ended with her beheading. Discover the tumultuous and bloody history behind all of these fundamental characters.--
