'Eminently bingeable, religiously fact-checked and seductively
globetrotting . . .A preternaturally attentive reporter at work' -
The Observer'A new book by Keefe means drop everything and close
the blinds, you'll be turning pages for hours . . .Highly
entertaining' - Los Angeles TimesFrom the prize-winning, New York
Times bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain, twelve
enthralling stories of skulduggery and intrigue by one of the most
decorated journalists of our time. Patrick Radden Keefe's work has
been recognised by prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award
and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell
Prize and the Baillie Gifford in the UK, for his meticulously
reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave
badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated
articles from the New Yorker.As Keefe observes in his preface:
'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and
corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating
licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of
denial.'Keefe explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage
wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money
laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in
Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a
cheerful international black-market arms merchant, and profiles a
passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the
worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism. The
appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event,
collected here for the first time readers can see how his work
forms an always enthralling yet also deeply human portrait of
criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
