Zrcadlová četba - Crime and Punishment (B1-B2)
This abridged and linguistically adapted version of Crime and Punishment endeavors to introduce the reader to the masterpiece of the Russian author Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The writer himself characterized it as a psychological record of one crime. Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff is a poor student who has been forced to give up his university studies. He withdraws from society and plans to murder an old moneylender. He is convinced that murder and robbery of a despicable, mean old woman who oppresses her sister and exploits her clients will sure enough be excused, or even approved of, and make many good deeds possible. But this story is not about the crime... Tato jazykově upravená a zestručněná verze románu Zločin a trest se čtenáři pokouší představit vrcholné dílo ruského autora Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského. Spisovatel sám jej charakterizoval jako psychologický záznam jednoho zločinu. Rodion Romanovič Raskolnikov je chudý student, který byl z finančních důvodů nucen zanechat studia na univerzitě. Stáhne se i ze společnosti a naplánuje vraždu staré lichvářky. Je přesvědčen, že vražda a oloupení zavrženíhodné, zlé stařeny, která utiskuje svou sestru a odírá své klienty, bude jistě prominuta, ne-li dokonce schvalována, a umožní mnoho dobrých skutků. Tento příběh však není o zločinu...

En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.
Punishment
A young lawyer puts aside her sense of justice to succeed at her new firm.
A man who values silence is driven to murder by his noisy neighbours.
A cheated wife seeks revenge.
How do you decide what punishment fits the crime?
Our narrator is a man you'd never want to meet unless you really needed him. A nameless criminal defence lawyer, he coolly narrates the fate of twelve characters who cross his path. In spare, gripping prose, he tells their stories, uncovering the loneliness and alienation, desire and desperation which drive their choices and shape the consequences they face.
Drawn from Ferdinand von Schirach's eminent career as a criminal defence lawyer, Punishment masterfully treads the line between fiction and truth, each meticulously crafted story crackling with white-knuckle suspense and vivid characters who stay with you long after the final page.
Translated from the German by Katharina Hall
