'A shocking story of serial killers, twisted idealism and a country
that looked away' Rory Carroll, bestselling author of Killing
Thatcher ?In a tour de force of investigative journalism, White
Terror tells for the first time the story of the National Socialist
Underground in Germany – in an engrossing global story that
examines violence, modern racism and national trauma. Not long
after the Berlin Wall fell, three teenagers became friends in the
East German town of Jena. It was a time of excitement, but also of
deep uncertainty: some four million East Germans found themselves
out of a job.At first the three friends spent their nights
wandering the streets, smoking, drinking, looking for trouble. Then
they began attending far-right rallies with people who called
themselves National Socialists: Nazis. Like the Hitler-led Nazis
before them, they blamed minorities for their ills.Believing
foreigners were a threat to their homeland, the three friends
embarked on the most horrific string of white nationalist killings
since the Holocaust. Their target: immigrants. In a tour de force
of investigative journalism and novelistic storytelling, White
Terror follows the National Socialist Underground, or NSU, from
their radicalisation as young skinheads through their
transformation into fully fledged terrorists carrying out bombings
and assassinations while living on the run.But it’s also about
something almost as terrifying: the German police and intelligence
services that missed clues, mishandled far-right informants and
repeatedly tried to paint the immigrant victims as mafiosos. Once
the terror plot was revealed, the authorities shredded documents to
cover up their mistakes and refused to acknowledge that their
racism had led them astray. A masterwork of reporting, White Terror
reveals how a group of young Germans carried out a shocking spree
of white supremacist violence, and how a nation and its government
ignored them until it was too late.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
