Moralność pani Dulskiej to tragikomedia pokazująca zakłamanie i podwójną moralność zamożnej rodziny mieszczańskiej. Główna bohaterka, Aniela Dulska, kierując się przekonaniem, że brudy należy prać we własnym domu, a najważniejszą rzeczą jest uniknięcie skandalu, doprowadza do romansu swojego syna ze służącą, którą gdy ta spodziewa się dziecka, odprawia z domu. Hipokryzja, chorobliwe skąpstwo, chciwość, ograniczenie…wszystko to po sukcesie Moralności stało się synonimem dulszczyzny

Titel des englischen Originals; Murder on the Links

Winter herrscht in Crozet, Virginia, und jeder scheint unter der unerbittlichen Kälte zu leiden, sogar Mary Minor>Harry< Haristeen, die Postmeisterin des Städtchens. Und so freuen sich alle über jeden Klatsch, der ihnen aus dem Krankenhaus von Crozet zugetragen wird. Doch dann passiert Unfaßbares: Ihre Klatschquelle wird er­mordet. Harry kann wie immer keinem Mordfall widerstehen und findet bald heraus, daß das Krankenhaus ein einziger Sumpf aus Eitelkeiten, Eifersucht und heimlichen Affären ist. Und es ist wieder Mrs. Murphy, die durch die Schattenwelt des Krankenhauses von Crozet schleicht, dem Geheimnis auf der Spur. Und wie so manches Mal muß die samtpfötige Detektivin zusammen mit ihren tierischen Freunden zu Höchstform auflaufen, um den Fall zu lösen. Ein Fall, von dem nur klar ist, daß alle Fährten zu kaltblütigem Mord führen

Im Jahr 799 begegnen sich Papst Leo III. und der König der Franken, Karl der Große, in Paderborn. Der eine ist vor seinen Feinden in Rom geflohen, der andere denkt daran, sein Lebenswerk mit dem Kaisertitel zu krönen. Doch dann wird der Aufenthalt an den Quellen der Pader von rätselhaften Mordfällen überschattet. Als ersten trifft es Bischof Odoaker während einer Messe im Dom

Die junge Flavia de Luce staunt nicht schlecht, als sie im ersten Morgenlicht eine Leiche im Garten entdeckt – ausgerechnet im Gurkenbeet! Jeder hält ihren Vater für den Mörder, denn Colonel de Luce hat sich noch tags zuvor mit dem Verblichenen gestritten. Nur ein einziger Mensch glaubt felsenfest an die Unschuld des Colonels – seine neunmalkluge Tochter Flavia. Schließlich ist der Ermordete vergiftet worden, und – ganz im Gegensatz zu Flavia, die eine begnadete Giftmischerin ist – ihr Vater hat nie Interesse an der Chemie des Todes gezeigt. Also fragt Flavia in vermeintlich kindlicher Unschuld sämtlichen Zeugen Löcher in den Bauch. Hartnäckig folgt sie jeder noch so abwegigen Spur – bis sie einsehen muss, dass ihr Vater tatsächlich ein dunkles Geheimnis hütet. Und so befürchtet Flavia, dass sie vielleicht eine zu gute Detektivin ist … Gewitzt, ironisch und unwiderstehlich liebenswert – Flavia de Luce ist eine Ermittlerin, wie sie die Welt noch nicht gesehen hat! Eine liebenswerte Giftmischerin. Der Debütroman von Alan Bradley sorgte bereits vor Erscheinen für eine beispiellose Sensation: Er wurde mit dem renommiertesten Krimipreis der Welt ausgezeichnet, dem „Dagger Award“ – auf der Basis eines einzigen Kapitels!

Frühling im idyllischen Crozet - nach einem harten Winter erwachen bei Mensch und Tier wieder die Lebensgeister: Mary Minor «Harry» Haristeen, die junge Posthalterin, überwindet sich zum großen Hausputz. Tigerkatze Mrs. Murphy und Corgi-Hündin Tee Tucker können sich end­lich wieder zum Herumtollen nach draußen wagen. Und einer reibt sich ganz besonders die Hände: Kimball Haynes, Archäologe und Workaholic, der unter dem Motto «Je tiefer geschürft, desto besser» für die Ausgrabungen im nahe gelegenen Monticello, dem ehemaligen Wohnsitz des Präsidenten Thomas Jefferson, verantwortlich ist. Von Harrys resoluter Freundin Miranda Ho­gendobber mit Bibelsprüchen und üppigem Proviant versorgt, beginnt Haynes mit seiner Arbeit - und macht einen grausigen Fund: ein Skelett, angetan mit den Überbleibseln einer reichbestickten Brokatweste, einen wertvollen Ring am Finger. Und einiges an dieser über hundert Jahre alten Leiche ist äußerst mysteriös: Offensichtlich starb der betuchte Mann in den ehemaligen Sklavenquartieren, und zwar dort, wo die schöne Sklavin Medley Orion lebte. Aber was hatte ein Weißer dort zu suchen? Das ist die große Frage, zumal sein zertrümmerter Schädel keinen Zweifel läßt: Es war Mord. Schlafende Hunde soll man nicht wecken, sagen die einen, beson­ders gewisse Mitglieder der Hautevolee von Crozet. «Katzenintuition!» fordern indes Mrs. Mur­phy und Tee Tucker, überzeugt davon, daß dies nicht einfach nur eine der Spukgeschichten ist, die einem als Kätzchen erzählt werden. Und tatsächlich: Kurze Zeit später wird Kimball Haynes umgebracht, und Larry Johnson, der Arzt von Crozet, in alten medizinischen Doku­menten auf einer vielversprechenden Spur, entgeht einem Anschlag nur knapp. Fintenreich machen sich die Detektivinnen, unter stützt von Kater Pewter, Simon dem Opossum und Mrs Murphys Exmann Paddy, an die Arbeit, um die Morde aufzuklären. Das blaue Band des Frühlings, lernen sie entsetzt, kann sich besonders bei verliebten Menschen in eine tödliche Schlinge verwandeln, die noch nach Generationen ihre Opfer fordert

Powalający jak litr czystej wypity pod trzy meduzy w lubelskiej spelunce "Wykwintna". Skuteczni jak prawy prosty boksera, zniewalający jak Rudolf Valentino i niepowstrzymani niczym szarżująca tankietka. Oto podkomisarz Zygmunt "Zyga" Maciejewski i jego ludzie. Najlepsze gliny z Wydziału Śledczego. O ile akurat nie boksują, nie piją i nie podrywają panienek… Bo dobry policjant z Lublina wygląda, jakby nie wyglądał, albo wygląda jak bandyta. Tudzież jak alfons. 9 listopada 1930 r. serce Lublina pika jeszcze rytmem starego flegmatyka, gdy bestialsko oprawiony trup naczelnego "Głosu Lubelskiego" pobudza je do poziomu palpitacji. Komu podpadł znany z ciętego języka pismak? Włoskiej mafii czy komunistycznej międzynarodówce? A może to robota satanistów, którzy podobno odprawiają czarne msze w cukierni Semadeniego? A może zlecenie dał konkurencyjny "Kurier Lubelski"? – A niech to wszystko jasny szlag!!! Trup niemal w święto narodowe, jakby roboty było mało! Od dwóch dni harcerze na Placu Litewskim ryczą, że "Maszerują strzelcy…"! Tajniacy Zygi ruszają w miasto. Trop wiedzie ich przez eleganckie pokoje hotelu "Europa", meliny ferajny z Kośminka, podłe speluny i burdele na Żmigrodzie, by nieoczekiwanie runąć w wiekowe staromiejskie podziemia. Ta sprawa musiała mieć drugie dno! Ale żeby od razu trzecie i czwarte? Po lekturze Wrońskiego Lublin już nigdy nie będzie zwykłym miastem…

Martin Beck #6 W letni wieczór do ekskluzywnej restauracji w ekskluzywnym hotelu wchodzi niczym nie wyróżniający się mężczyzna. Jednym celnym strzałem zabija potentata przemysłowego Viktora Palmgrena i spokojnie wychodzi. Sprawę dostaje komisarz Martin Beck. Nie jest zachwycony – właśnie wyprowadził się od żony, wynajął przytulne mieszkanko i wieczorny telefon zakłóca miły nastrój parapetówki. Co gorsza może się pożegnać z planami na wakacje. I sam (bo koledzy są na urlopach) musi rozwiązać sprawę, w której morderstwo jest zaledwie początkiem zagadki…

Part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, part Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Adam Silvera’s extraordinary debut confronts race, class, and sexuality during one charged near-future summer in the Bronx. The Leteo Institute’s revolutionary memory-relief procedure seems too good to be true to Aaron Soto — miracle cure-alls don’t tend to pop up in the Bronx projects. Aaron could never forget how he’s grown up poor, how his friends aren’t there for him, or how his father committed suicide in their one bedroom apartment. Aaron has the support of his patient girlfriend, if not necessarily his distant brother and overworked mother, but it’s not enough. Then Thomas shows up. He has a sweet movie-watching setup on his roof, and he doesn’t mind Aaron’s obsession with a popular fantasy series. There are nicknames, inside jokes. Most importantly, Thomas doesn’t mind talking about Aaron’s past. But Aaron’s newfound happiness…

One of the true masters of the short story, Bill Pronzini delights in thrilling, mystifying, amusing and terrifying his readers as the spirit moves him. In this collection, you’ll find virtually every kind of crime story there is. There’s stolen gold on a passenger ship for “Fergus O’Hara, Detective” and his wife, Hattie, to investigate, and untraceable money to tempt vice cops in “Opportunity.” In “Chip,” a mob boss must deal with his problem son, and in “One of Those Cases,” the nameless Detective’s assignment to follow a client’s husband leads to murder. A hack paperback writer who’s never had an idea of his own has “A Craving for Originality.” In “Quicker than the Eye,” a department store magician must help solve an impossible murder and the theft of a very valuable stamp. And when the traveling medicine wagon comes to town, an “Angel of Mercy” offers girls “in trouble” a sympathetic ear and a cure which might be worse than the disease

‘Human beings fear the unknown. So, whatever’s freaking you out, grab it by the balls and say hello. Then it ain't the unknown anymore and it ain't scary. Or I guess it could be a sh*tload scarier’ Sam Halpern. Soon after Sh*t My Dad Says began to take off, comic writer Justin Halpern decided to take the plunge and propose to his then girlfriend. But before doing so, he asked his dad's advice, which was very, very simple (and surprisingly clean): ‘Just take a day to think about it.’ This book is the story of that trip down memory lane, a toe-curlingly honest pilgrim’s progress of teenage relationships, sex and love by one of the funniest writers at work today. Sh*t people say about Justin Halpern: ‘Ridiculously hilarious’ Chelsea Handler ‘Shoot-beer-out-your-nose funny’ Maxim ‘Funny, silly, honest, lively and fresh’ Sunday Times

Commander Pirx, who drives space vehicles for a living in the galaxy of the future, here faces a new series of intriguing adventures in which robots demonstrate some alarmingly human characteristics. Five more tales featuring Pirx — a bumbling rookie in the original Tales (1979), now a seasoned and level-headed (but coolly cerebral) space jockey. The first three pieces are short, ironic, and somewhat thin on ideas: Pirx fails to intercept a drifting alien hulk thanks to a shipboard comedy of errors; he searches for a robot that has inexplicably cut loose to go mountain climbing; and he survives a close encounter with a berserk mining robot. The two long yarns, unfortunately, are not so much fiction as rather pedantic reflections on the nature of artificial intelligence: a choppy and overinvolved Turing test, in which Pirx must identify (and foil the murderous plans of) the robot among his crew as they fly through the rings of Saturn; and a talky, motionless analysis of why an intelligent computer aboard an experimental ship went neurotically haywire and crashed on Mars. A ruminative, often discursive bunch, wanting in urgency and drama — without the mature idea-wrestling of last year’s Memoirs of a Space Traveler. (Kirkus Reviews)

"Film noir" evokes memories of stylish, cynical, black-and-white movies from the 1940s and '50s — melodramas about private eyes, femmes fatales, criminal gangs, and lovers on the run. James Naremore's prize-winning book discusses these pictures, but also shows that the central term is more complex and paradoxical than we realize. It treats noir as a term in criticism, as an expression of artistic modernism, as a symptom of Hollywood censorship and politics, as a market strategy, as an evolving style, and as an idea that circulates through all the media. This new and expanded edition of More Than Night contains an additional chapter on film noir in the twenty-first century

While best known for his twenty-four novels, Jeffery Deaver is also a short story master — he is a three-time recipient of the Ellery Queen Reader’s Award for Best Short Story, and he won the Short Story Dagger from the Crime Writers Association for a piece that appeared in his first short story collection, Twisted. The New York Times said of that book: “A mystery hit for those who like their intrigue short and sweet... [The stories] feature tight, bare-bones plotting and the sneaky tricks that Mr. Deaver’s title promises.” The sneaky tricks are here in spades, and Deaver even gives his fans a new Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs story. Deaver is back with sixteen stories in the tradition of O. Henry and Edgar Allan Poe. His subjects range from a Westchester commuter to a brilliant Victorian England caper. With these intricately plotted, bone-chilling stories, Jeffery Deaver is at the top of his crime-writing game

His Fate is finally in front of him…and he’s never letting go. Morgan and Magnus Grimm return from their search for Skuld, Norn of the Future, only to find that she’s been living under their noses this whole time. Now that Morgan finally has the woman of his dreams within reach, nothing—not amnesia, not Odin, not even his father’s death—will prevent him from claiming the Fate he’s wanted for centuries. Skylar Kincade is lost among these crazy people who swear that they’re the old Norse gods. But…there’s something that strikes a chord deep within her. Something from which the hot, redheaded Morgan wants to protect her. But when the memories burst free, there’s no softening the devastating blow. For overstepping her bounds and changing their fates to save their lives, her powers were stripped away, leaving her as just another Norn. And it seems more punishment is coming down: one of Logan’s children is missing. Skye is determined to do her part to make it right—by journeying all the way to Valhalla to meet a fate from which Morgan may not be able to save her. Warning: This novel contains explicit nookie on a kitchen table, graphic language in one or more dialects, and a Fate worth living for

Morgan Gower has an outsize hairy beard, an array of peculiar costumes and fantastic headwear, and a serious smoking habit. He likes to pretend to be other people — a jockey, a shipping magnate, a foreign art dealer — and he likes to do this more and more since his massive brood of daughters are all growing up, getting married and finding him embarrassing. Then comes his first dramatic encounter with Emily and Leon Meredith, and the start of an extraordinary obsession

Proud, iron-willed Tennessee widow Tamsin MacGreggor is wanted-dead or alive-for a crime she didn't commit. But out West the law is shoot first, ask questions later. So she's running for her life-with notoriously handsome bounty hunter Ash Morgan in hot pursuit. Tamsin is Morgan's match, shrewd and strong enough to escape his capture. Twice. But catching her now is more than Morgan's duty-it's personal. For somehow she has slipped past his defenses and stolen his well-guarded heart. Their passionate love erupts in the wilds of a harsh, unforgiving land where a bounty hunter must finish his job-and an innocent woman will do whatever it takes to save herself from a hangman's noose…

A New McCullough Classic In the tradition of her epic bestseller, The Thorn Birds, Colleen McCullough offers up a saga of love found, love lost, and agony endured in Morgan's Run. McCullough brings history to life through the eyes of Richard Morgan, an Englishman swept up in the bitter vicissitudes of fate. McCullough's trademark flair for detail is like a ride in a time machine, transporting readers to the late 18th century. From the shores of Bristol, England, to the dungeons of a British prison, from the bowels of a slave ship to a penal colony on an island off the coast of New South Wales, McCullough brilliantly recreates the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of Morgan's life and times. The Revolutionary War is raging in America, and England is struggling with economic and social chaos. In the town of Bristol, Richard Morgan keeps to himself and tends to his family, making a decent living as a gunsmith and barkeep. But then Richard's quiet life begins to fall apart. His young daughter dies of smallpox, his wife becomes obsessively concerned about their son, and he loses his savings and his bar to a sophisticated con man. Then Richard's wife dies suddenly of a stroke, and his son is later lost and presumed dead after disappearing in a nearby river. The crowning blow comes when Richard reports illegal activities being carried out by the owner of the rum distillery where he works, and he ends up on the wrong end of a frame-up. Tried and convicted for thievery and blackmail in a justice system designed to presume guilt, Richard is deported on a slave ship of the "First Fleet" with a hundred or so other convicts bound for New South Wales, where they will be used to establish a colony. But the onboard conditions during the yearlong voyage are so awful that many of the convicts die. Richard, oddly calm, dignified, and withdrawn, not only survives but manages to thrive. His intelligence, manners, and skills earn him respect in the new colony, where he eventually earns a pardon and begins his life again. Based on McCullough's own family history, Morgan's Run has all the marks of a classic. In the novel's afterword, McCullough mentions that she hopes to continue this tale – a hope that will no doubt be shared by millions of readers. – Beth Amos

Coroner is the perfect job for Dr. Martin Gänsewein, who spends his days in peace and quiet autopsying dead bodies for the city of Cologne. Shy, but scrupulous, Martin appreciates his taciturn clients—until the day one of them starts talking to him. It seems the ghost of a recently deceased (and surprisingly chatty) small-time car thief named Pascha is lingering near his lifeless body in drawer number four of Martin’s morgue. He remains for one reason: his “accidental” death was, in fact, murder. Pascha is furious his case will go unsolved—to say nothing of his body’s dissection upon Martin’s autopsy table. But since Martin is the only person Pascha can communicate with, the ghost settles in with the good pathologist, determined to bring the truth of his death to light. Now Martin’s staid life is rudely upended as he finds himself navigating Cologne’s red-light district and the dark world of German car smuggling. Unless Pascha can come up with a plan—and fast—Martin will soon be joining him in the spirit world. Witty and unexpected, Morgue Drawer Four introduces a memorable (and reluctant) detective unlike any other in fiction today. Morgue Drawer Four was shortlisted for Germany’s 2010 Friedrich Glauser Prize for best crime novel

Days after Holmes and his arch-enemy Moriarty fall to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls, Pinkerton agent Frederick Chase arrives in Europe from New York. The death of Moriarty has created a poisonous vacuum that has been swiftly filled by a fiendish new criminal mastermind who has risen to take Moriarty’s place. Ably assisted by Inspector Athelney Jones of Scotland Yard, a devoted student of Holmes’s methods of investigation and deduction, Frederick Chase must forge a path through the darkest corners of the capital to shine light on this shadowy figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, a man determined to engulf London in a tide of murder and menace. Author of the global bestseller The House of Silk, Anthony Horowitz once more breathes life into the world created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. With pitch-perfect characterization and breathtaking pace, Horowitz weaves a relentlessly thrilling tale that teases and

Morire dentro: è questa la sorte che attende David Selig, il telepate, profilandosi come un incubo all’orizzonte della sua esistenza. Una minaccia a un tempo psichica e biologica corrode i suoi poteri: e per Selig, abituato a «spiare» gli angoli più morbosi e reconditi dei suoi simili, a nutrirsi delle emozioni altrui, il lento affievolirsi delle proprie capacità è un graduale stillicidio. Robert Silverberg ci trasporta con questo romanzo (uno dei suoi ultimi) nella mente del telepate, sicché il lettore può provare, in «soggettiva», l’incredibile esperienza dl guardare in un altro universo, condividendo le emozioni dl una terza vista. Selig raggiunge cosi l’età in cui il suo dono potrebbe maggiormente giovargli: e invece si trova nuovamente respinto da una società che non è pronta per quelli come lui, e in cui anche il rapporto con un essere che possiede i suoi stessi poteri ESP diventa ambiguo e pericoloso. Moderno «Slan», David Selig si trova di fronte a un enigma troppo vasto per la sua fragile personalità: perchè sta perdendo il suo potere mentale? Si tratta solo di un male biologico, o di una minaccia più insidiosa? E che cosa sarà di lui al termine di questa incredibile «odissea nel pensiero»? Come ha scritto la rivista Analog: «Questo romanzo è intensamente umano… intensamente vero. I lettori ricorderanno Morire dentro per una generazione, e forse ancor più». Robert Silverberg non ha bisogno di presentazioni; Fantasy & Science Fiction ha scritto di lui: «E il nostro autore migliore. Di volta in volta ha costantemente ampliato i parametri della fantascienza»

This unusual epic from the Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz portrays five generations of one sprawling family against the upheavals of two centuries of modern Egyptian history.Set in Cairo, Morning and Evening Talk traces three related families from the arrival of Napoleon to the 1980s, through short character sketches arranged in alphabetical order. This highly experimental device produces a kind of biographical dictionary, whose individual entries come together to paint a vivid portrait of life in Cairo from a range of perspectives. The characters include representatives of every class and human type and as the intricate family saga unfolds, a powerful picture of a society in transition emerges. This is a tale of change and continuity, of the death of a traditional way of life and the road to independence and beyond, seen through the eyes of Egypt's citizens. Naguib Mahfouz's last chronicle of Cairo is both an elegy to a bygone era and a tribute to the Egyptian spirit
