Malcolm Knox Livres

It is two days since Dr John Brand's death and his eldest son, Davis, suspects a cover-up. Survived by two sons, the death notice said. Died peacefully. Someone has lied: there are three sons, and the circumstances of their father's death are suspicious. But the Sydney Test Match is on and Davis' famous brother Chris is batting to save his career while their mother Margaret watches the broadcast from her armchair. Hammett, the unacknowledged third brother, lurks on the edges, banished but not forgotten. Scattered across Sydney, the Brands' lives - and John Brand's funeral - are put on hold for the duration of the game: five days of suspense, silences, revelations, recriminations and redemption.

Richard recalls the idyllic summers he spent at the beach with his best friend, Hugh Bowman, and their wives. The more Richard remembers, however, the more he must confront the dark side of his past.

Lacno, lacno... Coles a Woolworths spoločne kraľujú v prostredí austrálskeho maloobchodu v železiarskom tovare, v predaji benzínu, zmiešaného tovaru i alkoholu a predovšetkým v potravinách. V priemere každý muž, žena a dieťa v tejto krajine minie 100 dolárov týždenne v ich predajniach. Čo znamená takáto dominancia pre dodávateľov? A je to dobré pre spotrebiteľov? Novinár a spisovateľ Malcolm Knox v knihe Obludné supermarkety vrhá svetlo na austrálske dvojičky-megapredajcov, keď skúma, ako si vybudovali svoju moc na trhu a ako z nej ťažili. Knox odhaľuje neodvratné a často zastrašujúce obchodné praktiky, ktoré obe spoločnosti používajú, aby presadili svoju vôľu. Tvrdí, že kvôli lacnému mlieku a chlebu my spotrebitelia riskujeme oveľa viac: kvalitu, rôznorodosť a ohrozenie vlastných komunít.
