María Antonia Menini Knihy

Americký spisovateľ Stephen King je majstrom moderného hororu a thrilleru, jeho knihy vychádzajú na celom svete a patria k najpredávanejším. V románe Cujo zdanlivý pokoj malého mestečka naruší besnotou nakazený bernardín. Z milého a prítulného psa sa stáva hrozná beštia, ktorá celkom zmení život obyvateľov mestečka, je ich strašným tieňom, trestajúcou rukou osudu, čo prináša smrť. Jeho kradmé kroky, temné vrčanie a vražedné tesáky cítiť takmer na každej stránke knihy... Napínavý, dynamický dej románu autor umocňuje brilantným zobrazením psychiky hlavných postáv.

In 1137 the ambitious head of Shrewsbury Abbey has decided to acquire the remains of Saint Winifred for his Benedictine order. Brother Cadfael is part of the expedition sent to her final resting place in Wales and they find the villagers passionately divided by the Benedictines' offer for the saint's relics. Canny, wise and all too worldly, Cadfael isn't surprised when this taste for bones leads to a bloody murder. The leading opponent to moving the grave has been shot dead with a mysterious arrow, and some say Winifred herself dealt the blow. Brother Cadfael knows that a carnal hand did the killing, but he doesn't know that his plan to unearth a murderer may dig up a case of love and justice, where the wages of sin may be a scandal- or his own ruin.

A long-lost work of Shakespeare, newly found. A killer who stages the Bard’s extravagant murders as flesh-and-blood realities. A desperate race to find literary gold, and just to stay alive. . . . On the eve of the Globe’s production of Hamlet, Shakespeare scholar and theater director Kate Stanley’s eccentric mentor Rosalind Howard gives her a mysterious box, claiming to have made a groundbreaking discovery.

Inside the box Kate finds the first piece in a Shakespearean puzzle, setting her on a deadly, high-stakes treasure hunt. From London to Harvard to the American West, Kate races to evade a killer and decipher a tantalizing string of clues, hidden in the words of Shakespeare, that may unlock literary history’s greatest secret.
