The Master: The Brilliant Career of Roger Federer
Widely regarded as one of the greatest ever sportspeople, Roger Federer is a global phenomenon. From his humble beginnings as a temperamental teenager to becoming symbol of enduring greatness, The Master is the definitive biography of a global icon who is both beloved and yet intensely private. But his path from temperamental, bleach-blond teenager with dubious style sense to one of the greatest, most self-possessed and elegant of competitors has been a long-running act of will, not destiny. He not only had a great gift. He had grit.
With access to Federer's inner circle, including his wife, Mirka, his longtime trainer and based on one-on-one interviews with Federer, legendary sports reporter Chris Clarey's account will be a must read retrospective for the loyal sports fans, and anyone interested in the inner workings of unfaltering excellence. The Master tells the story of Federer's life and career on both an intimate and grand scale.
The Detective Club The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd
Agatha Christie's most audacious crime mystery, reissued to mark 90 years since it was first published with a facsimile cover from 1931. Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew the woman he loved had poisoned her first husband, that someone was blackmailing her, and that as a consequence she had just taken her own life. But as he read the letter that would tell him the identity of her mysterious blackmailer, he was stabbed to death in a locked room ...The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is one of Agatha Christie's most brilliant detective novels and the book that catapulted her to worldwide renown. As a play, under the title of Alibi, it then enjoyed a long and successful run with Charles Laughton as Hercule Poirot. First published in May 1926 by Collins, and joining their Detective Story Club imprint in August 1931 to tie in with the release of the film version starring Austin Trevor as Poirot, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd remains as powerful and shocking today as when it was first published 90 years ago. THIS DETECTIVE STORY CLUB CLASSIC is introduced by crime fiction expert Tony Medawar, who investigates the book's pivotal role in Agatha Christie's success story.

Mistr Roger Federer a jeho brilantní kariéra
Podle The New York Times vypráví tento bestsellerový životopis životní příběh nejikoničtějšího hráče moderní éry. Sice existují další biografie Rogera Federera, ale nikdy žádný s takovým blízkým přístupem k hráči, jeho podpůrnému týmu a nejvýraznějším postávám tenisové hry, včetně takových rivalů jako jsou Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovič, či Andy Roddick. V knize "Mistr" si korespondent The New York Times Christopher Clarey sedl s Rogerem Federerem a jeho nejbližšími, aby vyprávěli příběh největšího hráče mužského tenisu.
*****
Roger Federer předváděl tenis neuvěřitelně lehce déle než dekádu a to krásným nápřahem u bekhendu, klouzáním do forhendu, při smečích ve výskoku popíráním gravitace a zůstával vysoko na světových stupních vítězů ve sportu právem zaplaveného cynismem. Jeho cesta od temperamentního odbarveného teenagera s pochybným stylem až k jednomu z největších, nejvyrovnanějších a nejelegantnějších světových hráčů tenisu, kteří vládli dlouhodobě vůlí a ne osudem, je inspirující. Měl nejen velký talent, ale i drzost.
*****
Christopher Clarey je jeden z předních mezinárodních sportovních spisovatelů současnosti a Federerovi se věnuje od počátku jeho kariéry. Byl přítomný na Roland Garros na kurtě Suzanne Lenglenové na Federeově prvním grandslamovém zápase a exkluzivně s ním udělal nejvíce rozhovorů než kterýkoliv jiný novinář od jeho vzestupu na výsluní. Clarey se v knize zaměřuje na klíčové osoby, místa a okamžiky Federerovy dlouhé a bohaté kariéry: reportáže z Jižní Afriky, Jižní Ameriky, Středního východu, čtyři grandslamové turnaje a rodné Švýcarsko. Byla to jízda jako u žádného jiného hráče, plná vítězství a několika drtivých porážek, která nově definovala dokonalost a udělala z Rogera sentimentálního favorita na celém světě.
*****
"Mistr" vypráví příběh o Federerově životě a kariéře jak v intimním, tak velkém měřítku, způsobem, který by nikdo jiný nedokázal.

The World's Favourite : And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
A boxed set of the three books that have been confirmed in a popular vote as the World's Favourite Agatha Christie novels. In a worldwide poll to mark the Queen of Crime's 125th birthday on 15 September 2015, three books stood out as clear favourites amongst Christie fans past and present. And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie's 1939 standalone novel, was voted the World's Favourite Christie, collecting 21% of more than 15,000 votes cast. The runners up were Murder on the Orient Express with 15% and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - one of Christie's personal favourites - with nearly 10%. Voters were asked to choose their favourite title from the full Christie canon via www.worldsfavouritechristie.com And Then There Were None was Agatha Christie's most successful book. With over 100 million copies sold worldwide, it is also the bestselling crime novel of all time. Called 'Agatha Christie's masterpiece' (Spectator) and the 'most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written' (New York Times), it was famously difficult to write. Christie said she liked it for its 'difficult technique which was a challenge'. In And Then There Were None, ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast. Cut off from the mainland, with their generous hosts Mr and Mrs U.N. Owen mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime. When one of the party dies suddenly they realise they may be harbouring a murderer among their number. The other two books see the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot facing two of his most challenging cases: In Murder on the Orient Express, an American millionaire dies of multiple stab wounds on a snowbound train bound for Paris, and in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, a wealthy widower is stabbed to death in his study, the sensational book that made Agatha Christie a household name.
