„Je na mně, abych jménem hostů připil na zdraví řediteli, Jeho Hanebnosti Mrchodlakovi, a Koleji pro výcvik Pokušitelů. Naplňte si číše! Co to vidím? A jakou přelahodnou vůni, jak skvělý bukét nasávám? Je to možné? Vidím a čichám, že místní sklep i za válečných podmínek vlastní pár tuctů lahví starého, vyzrálého špičkového Farizeje. Dobře, dobře, výborně! Jako za starých časů!“ C. S. Lewis připravil tuto knihu krátce před svou smrtí 22. listopadu 1963. Jedná se o sbírku esejů, které se téměř výhradně zabývají náboženskou tematikou. Nejznámější z nich je Přípitek zkušeného ďábla, který je volným doplněním úspěšné knihy Rady zkušeného ďábla.

The story of two brilliant women and the men to whom they ransomed their hearts.

The young women of Nightingale House are there to learn to nurse and comfort the suffering. But when one of the students plays patient in a demonstration of nursing skills, she is horribly, brutally killed. Amongst the blackmail, lies and hastily kept secrets of the Nightingale nursing school, another student dies equally mysteriously and it is up to Adam Dalgliesh to unmask a killer who has decided to prescribe murder as the cure for all ills. In Shroud for a Nightingale, award-winning P.D. James (author of Death Comes to Pemberley, Original Sin and Children of Men) plots a complex story of secrets, blackmail and suspicion. The novel was adapted for television in 1984, with Roy Marsden as Adam Dalgliesh and Joss Ackland as the surgeon, Stephen Courtney-Briggs.

This is the wise, unsettling, drastic story of three women whose lives share a common wound: Zenia, a woman they first met as university students in the sixties. Zenia is smart and beautiful, by turns manipulative, vulnerable – and irresistible. She has entered into their separate lives to ensnare their sympathy, betray their trust, and exploit their weaknesses. Now Zenia, thought dead, has suddenly reappeared. In this richly layered narrative, Atwood skilfully evokes the decades of the past as she retraces three women’s lives, until we are back in the present – where it’s yet to be discovered whether Zenia’s “pure, free-wheeling malevolence” can still wreak havoc. The Robber Bride reports from the farthest reaches of the sex wars and is one of Margaret Atwood’s most intricate and subversive novels yet.
