Slijepac iz Seville

Jedan je muškarac pronađen vezan i mrtav pred svojim televizorom. Strašne ozljede koje si je sam nanio navode na sumnju da je želio izbjeći neku strahotu. Ali kakvu? Onu koju je vidio na ekranu? Ili u glavi? Što čovjeka može nagnati da to sam sebi učini? A u Sevilli je Veliki tjedan, vrijeme strasti i procesija. No istražitelj Javier Falcon ne slavi.

A kad istraživanje žrtvina života natjera Falcona da istražuje vlastitu prošlost i šokantne dnevnike pokojnog oca, slavnog slikara, njegovo se nepouzdano pamćenje uzburka. Onda se dogode nova ubojstva i Falcon se nađe na rubu užasne istine…

Spare

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last. Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was known as the carefree one, the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness—and, because he blamed the press for his mother’s death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight. At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home. But he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and prone to crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn’t find true love. Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple’s cinematic romance and rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Watching his wife suffer, their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw no other way to prevent the tragedy of history repeating itself but to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try, in fact, had been his mother. . . . For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.

The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health

#1 on AMAZON, and a NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLER Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. He is anything but. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward. During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health. The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how America’s Doctor launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies. In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

Crvena azaleja

Autobiografski roman kineske spisateljice Anchee Min, koja ga je napisala nakon odlaska u SAD, upečatljivo je i iznimno napeto svjedočanstvo o odrastanju u razdoblju kulturne revolucije Mao Ce Tunga. Rođena u Šangaju, u obitelji predanih maoista, Anchee Min je u sedamnaestoj godini prisilno poslana na rad na kolektivno poljoprivredno dobro te se našla u političkom ozračju obilježenom otuđenjem i neprijateljstvom, gdje su joj jedine bliske veze bile pogibeljne i vatrene. Istodobno iskreni i dirljivi, ovi memoari opisuju njezinu izdvojenost i protuzakonitu ljubav na pozornici kineske Kulturne revolucije. Od njezinog stasanja u Crvenoj gardi do novačenja u snažnu industriju propagandnih filmova gospođe Mao, Crvena azaleja iskreno i vješto istražuje tajnu čulnost u represivnom društvu.
