14-letni Eryk podkochuje się w nauczycielce, rysuje komiksy o czarnych charakterach i ostatnich sprawiedliwych, no i marzy o zaznajomieniu się ze "świerszczykami" ojca, 6-palczastego Edmunda. Właśnie kończy się rok szkolny, nadarza się niespodziewana okazja. Eryk ma spędzić wakacje nad jeziorem Genezaret w towarzystwie Henry'ego, swojego starszego brata, oraz Edmunda. Będą zajadać się parówkami, watą cukrową i goframi, nudzić, wiosłować, wyruszać na tajemnicze nocne wyprawy, wchodzić "za friko" na festyny, podglądać życie dorosłych oraz marzyć o pewnej nastolatce, która pracuje w sklepie, i rzecz jasna o nauczycielce, która na nieszczęście okazuje się dziewczyną reprezentacyjnego szczypiornisty, Bennego Armaty, słynącego z atomowego uderzenia…

In this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun, German historian Heike B. Görtemaker delves into the startlingly neglected historical truth about Adolf Hitler’s mistress. More than just the vapid blonde of popular cliché, Eva Braun was a capricious but uncompromising, fiercely loyal companion to Hitler; theirs was a relationship that flew in the face of the Führer’s proclamations that Germany was his only bride. Görtemaker paints a portrait of Hitler and Braun’s life together with unnerving quotidian detail—Braun chose the movies screened at their mountaintop retreat (propaganda, of course); he dreamed of retiring with her to Linz one day after relinquishing his leadership to a younger man—while weaving their personal relationship throughout the fabric of one of history’s most devastating regimes. Though Braun gradually gained an unrivaled power within Hitler’s inner circle, her identity was kept a secret during the Third Reich, until the final days of the war. Faithful to the end, Braun committed suicide with Hitler in 1945, two days after their marriage. Through exhaustive research, newly discovered documentation, and anecdotal accounts, Görtemaker has meticulously built a surprising portrait of Hitler’s bourgeois existence outside of the public eye. Though Eva Braun had no role in Hitler’s policies, she was never as banal as she was previously painted; she was privy to his thoughts, ruled life within his entourage, and held his trust. As horrifying as it is astonishing, Eva Braun will undoubtedly be referenced in all future accounts of this period.

Zwiedzając we Florencji wystawę fotografii peruwiańskiej Amazonii, Vargas Llosa przywołuje w pamięci postać przyjaciela z czasów studenckich. Saul Zuratas, peruwiański Żyd, pasjonował się bowiem kiedyś Amazonią, jej mieszkańcami, szczególnie zaś nielicznym, wędrującym plemieniem Macziguengów. Opowieść Llosy jest próbą rekonstrukcji losów Saula Zuratasa i zarazem próbą odnalezienia dowodów poświadczających, że wśród Macziguengów żył gawędziarz podtrzymujący więzi plemienne opowieściami o dziejach mitycznych i przekazywaniem wiadomości o życiu poszczególnych rodzin rozproszonych po Amazonii. Losy Zuratasa i Macziguengów okazują się ze sobą sprzęgnięte. Chyba że historia rekonstruowana przez Vargasa Llose jest… kolejną opowieścią nieuchwytnego gawędziarza.

When he was the NYPD's top homicide investigator, Dave Gurney was never comfortable with the label the press gave him: super detective. He was simply a man who, when faced with a puzzle, wanted to know. He was called to the investigative hunt by the presumptuous arrogance of murderers – by their smug belief that they could kill without leaving a trace. There was always a trace, Gurney believed. Except what if one day there wasn't? Dave Gurney, a few months past the Mellery case that pulled him out of retirement and then nearly killed him, is trying once again to adjust to his country house's bucolic rhythms when he receives a call about a case so seductively bewildering that the thought of not looking into it seems unimaginable – even if his beloved wife, Madeleine, would rather he do anything but. The facts of what has occurred are horrible: a blushing bride, newly wed to an eminent psychiatrist and just minutes from hearing her congratulatory toast, is found decapitated, her head apparently severed by a machete. Though police investigators believe that a Mexican gardener killed the young woman in a fit of jealous fury, the victim's mother – a chilly high-society beauty – is having none of it. Reluctantly drawn in, Dave is quickly buffeted by a series of revelations that transform the bizarrely monstrous into the monstrously bizarre. Underneath it all may exist one of the darkest criminal schemes imaginable. And as Gurney begins deciphering its grotesque outlines, some of his most cherished assumptions about himself are challenged, causing him to stare into an abyss so deep that it threatens to swallow not just him but Madeleine, too. Desperate to protect Madeleine and bring an end to the madness, Gurney ultimately discovers that the killer has left a trace after all. Unfortunately, the revelation may come too late to save his own life. With Shut Your Eyes Tight, John Verdon delivers on the promise of his internationally bestselling debut, Think of a Number, creating a portrait of evil let loose across generations that is as rife with moments of touching humanity as it is with spellbinding images of perversity.

Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was intended initially to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history of places along the route, but the humorous elements eventually took over, to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages now seem like an unnecessary distraction to the essentially comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers. The jokes seem fresh and witty even today.
