    »Nesbøs bestes Buch.« FAS Die Straßen sind voller Blut, Banden liefern sich unerbittliche Kämpfe, und Drogen überfluten die Stadt – Inspector Macbeth kennt seine Gegner nur allzu gut. Doch er ist unbestechlich, gerissen und klug. Er lässt einen Deal nach dem anderen hochgehen, die Drogenbosse beißen sich an ihm die Zähne aus. Aber irgendwann ist auch für ihn die Verlockung von Geld und Respekt zu stark, und sein größter Feind wird die erwachende Gier nach Macht. Doch er weiß, dass einer wie er niemals ganz nach oben gelassen wird. Außer – er tötet.

    Magnát Strulovič, zhrzený otec, manžel i žid, narazí při návštěvě manchesterského hřbitova na nečekaného, zato vítaného dvojníka: na souvěrce Šajloka ze Shakespearova dramatu Kupec benátský (1600). Prokletá literární postava má s podobnými lapáliemi bolestné zkušenosti, a tak se s boháčem odebere domů, jelikož mají co prodiskutovat. Románová hříčka nejvýraznějšího angložidovského prozaika současnosti klame tělem jako každá skvostná komedie. V atmosféře dnešní relativizace hodnot, při níž se hlas krve znovu nezapře a blbost jakbysmet, dialog obou pánů kouzelně otestuje meze pojmů „čest“, „otcovství“, „víra“ – a rovněž význam obřízky, která přichází na scénu coby pověstná „libra masa“ ze Šajlokovy soudní pře.

    Potentat medialny Henry Dunbar, chciwy i bezwzględny osiemdziesięciolatek, pada ofiarą swoich dw�ch r�wnie wyrachowanych c�rek, kt�re podstępem umieszczają ojca w sanatorium, chcąc przejąć rodzinny interes. Dunbar planuje jednak ucieczkę. Aby uratować swoje imperium, musi szukać pomocy u najmłodszej c�rki, kt�rą wcześniej wydziedziczył. Nowa powieść autora znakomitego cyklu ?Patrick Melrose?, bezwzględnego portretu wsp�łczesnych klas wyższych, nawiązuje do Kr�la Leara Williama Shakespeare?a. St Aubyn wykorzystał fabułę słynnego dramatu elżbietańskiego, żeby opowiedzieć o szaleństwie wsp�łczesnego świata. Stworzył szereg pełnokrwistych, fascynujących postaci, na czele z głęboko tragicznym bohaterem tytułowym, i w typowy dla siebie, prześmiewczy spos�b obnaża z chirurgiczną precyzją ich egoizm i zdeprawowanie.�

    Man Booker Prize-winner Howard Jacobson brings his singular brilliance to this modern re-imagining of one of Shakespeare’s most unforgettable characters: Shylock Winter, a cemetery, Shylock. In this provocative and profound interpretation of The Merchant of Venice, Shylock is juxtaposed against his present-day counterpart in the character of art dealer and conflicted father Simon Strulovitch. With characteristic irony, Jacobson presents Shylock as a man of incisive wit and passion, concerned still with questions of identity, parenthood, anti-Semitism and revenge. While Strulovich struggles to reconcile himself to his daughter Beatrice's “betrayal” of her family and heritage—as she is carried away by the excitement of Manchester high society, and into the arms of a footballer notorious for giving a Nazi salute on the field—Shylock alternates grief for his beloved wife with rage against his own daughter's rejection of her Jewish upbringing. Culminating in a shocking twist on Shylock’s demand for the infamous pound of flesh, Jacobson’s insightful retelling examines contemporary, acutely relevant questions of Jewish identity while maintaining a poignant sympathy for its characters and a genuine spiritual kinship with its antecedent—a drama which Jacobson himself considers to be “the most troubling of Shakespeare’s plays for anyone, but, for an English novelist who happens to be Jewish, also the most challenging.”

    'I really did have an empire, you know,' said Dunbar. 'Have I ever told you the story of how it was stolen from me?' Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he hands over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan, but as relations sour he starts to doubt the wisdom of past decisions... Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels. But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? Edward St Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. His take on King Lear, Shakespeare's most devastating family story, is an excoriating novel for and of our times - an examination of power, money and the value of forgiveness.

    Could the taming of Shakespeare's shrew, Katherina, happen today? Find out in this funny, off-beat version from one of our most beloved novelists. "You can't get around Kate Battista as easily as all that." Kate Battista is feeling stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and uppity, pretty younger sister Bunny? Plus, she's always in trouble at work--her preschool charges adore her, but the adults don't always appreciate her unusual opinions and forthright manner. Dr. Battista has other problems. After years out in the academic wilderness, he is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There's only one problem: his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr.... When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying--as usual--on Kate to help him. Kate is furious: this time he's really asking too much. But will she be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round? Anne Tyler's retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern, independent woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. Its answer is as individual, off-beat, and funny as Kate herself.
