Fragment "Noc i dzień tajemnica Dottie Manderson"
Dźwięk dosięgnąl jej ponownie. Trochę glośniejszy, trochę bardziej natarczywy. Brzmial prawie jak...
Ktoś tam byl - mężczyzna - leżący na chodniku. Poczula, jak delikatnie drży ze strachu.
A może to pijak? Może powinna wejśc na ulicę i ostrożnie go obejśc, zachowując dystans...
Jego glowa bardzo powoli się poruszyla. Twarz byla blada i owalna w przycmionym świetle latarni. Zauważyla, że jego usta r wnież się poruszyly. To on wydawal ten dziwny dźwięk. A więc to byl jednak pijak. Śpiewal do siebie cichym, świszczącym szeptem. Zdolala uchwycic jego przybliżoną melodię i nawet kiedy dostrzegla plamę krwi na przodzie jego koszuli, częśc niej nadal podpowiadala jej, że zna tę piosenkę.
Zapomniala o strachu i zaraz do niego podbiegla.
-- Co się stalo? Wszystko w porządku? -- zapytala, a zaraz po tym zganila si&

Описание:
"It is a living museum of a long-gone Jewish life and, supposedly, a testimony to the success of the French model of social integration. It is a communal home where gay men and women are said to stand in defiance of the French model of social integration. It is a place of freedom and tolerance where people of color and lesbians nevertheless feel unwanted and where young Zionists from the suburbs gather every Sunday and sometimes harass Arabs. It is a hot topic in the press and on television. It is open to the world and open for business. It is a place to be seen and a place of invisibility. It is like a home to me, a place where I feel both safe and out of place and where my father felt comfortable and alienated at the same time. It is a place of nostalgia, innovation, shame, pride, and anxiety, where the local and the global intersect for better and for worse. And for better and for worse, it is a French neighborhood."—from My Father and I
Mixing personal memoir, urban studies, cultural history, and literary criticism, as well as a generous selection of photographs, My Father and I focuses on the Marais, the oldest surviving neighborhood of Paris. It also beautifully reveals the intricacies of the relationship between a Jewish father and a gay son, each claiming the same neighborhood as his own. Beginning with the history of the Marais and its significance in the construction of a French national identity, David Caron proposes a rethinking of community and looks at how Jews, Chinese immigrants, and gays have made the Marais theirs. These communities embody, in their engagement of urban space, a daily challenge to the French concept of universal citizenship that denies them all political legitimacy.
Caron moves from the strictly French context to more theoretical issues such as social and political archaism, immigration and diaspora, survival and haunting, the public/private divide, and group friendship as metaphor for unruly and dynamic forms of community, and founding disasters such as AIDS and the Holocaust. Caron also tells the story of his father, a Hungarian Jew and Holocaust survivor who immigrated to France and once called the Marais home.

BEST KNOWN AS THE LEADING HISTORIAN OF FRENCH RAILWAYS, Fran?ois Caron has also conducted significant research on other aspects of economic development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as electricity, water and steam power, the theory of innovation, and the structure of enterprise. In this volume, he brings together different facets of his expertise to present a broad panorama of modern technological history. Caron shows how artisanal know-how was adapted, expanded, and formalized during the three industrial revolutions that swept over Great Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of this long, complex, and continuous historical process, leading up to the twenty-first century. He thereby illustrates the increasingly fruitful interaction between technological and scientific knowledge in modern times.

Review: Dottie Manderson is a gorgeous character--sassy, bright and modern (for the 1930s, that is) and very relatable. She's partnered with a detective and you just know this is going to play out satisfyingly in a 'will they/won't they' way. There's a Cluedo feel to the whole story, and I love it for that. A great read and I'm looking forward to catching up with more of Dottie, Flora et al.'
London, November 1933.
Dottie Manderson stumbles upon the body of a dying man in a deserted night-time street. As she waits for help to arrive, she holds the man's hand and tries to get him to tell her what happened. But with his last breaths he sings to her some lines from a popular stage show. But why, Dottie wonders? Why would he sing to her instead of sending a final message to his loved ones? Why didn't he name his attacker? Dottie needs to know the answers to these questions and so, even though a particular, very annoying, young policeman is investigating the case officially, she feels compelled to carry out her own investigation into the mysterious death. Introducing a new 1930s female sleuth in a traditional, cozy mystery series set in London between the two world wars, from Caron Allan, the writer of Criss Cross, Cross Check and Check Mate.
Buy Night and day: a Dottie Manderson mystery now and find out just who killed Archie Dunne, and just how many eligible bachelors are on Dottie's mother's list.
Extract from chapter one:
When she arrived at the top of the steps, and put out her hand to take hold of the knocker, just like in a horror film the door creaked slowly open by itself to reveal a dark hallway. Dottie felt an extreme reluctance to enter, the cheerful note had gone. In fact, as soon as the door had begun to move, chills ran down her spine and her scalp prickled.
Her stomach gave an uncomfortable lurch. She knew she should leave, she felt something was wrong. But to all outward--and sensible--appearances, there was no cause for alarm, other than the light being out in the hall and the front door standing slightly ajar. She paused for a moment and took a calming breath. Her stomach lurched again; she had never felt this frightened before, and never on such small evidence.
She waited for her eyes to adjust to the low level of light, but even after a full minute, could still discern nothing. She took a step back again and looked about her, glancing up and down the almost deserted street and wondering. She could still hear the soft sound of a waltz, clearly coming from the drawing-room. She pushed thoughts of Cyril out of her head, crushing down a sudden memory of dancing with him, and she was cross with herself for thinking of him at a time like this. Her anger steadied her and she was able to think.
Perhaps she ought to try to find a neighbour, or go down the road to find a policeman walking the beat, and get him to come back with her. She need only say she was worried about her friend, or that she was nervous of the dark. She was fairly sure anyone would understand and offer to help her. Everyone knew that London policemen were the kindest and most helpful in the whole world.
But something determined rose up in her and told her not to be such a ninny. No wonder men think they can lie and cheat and go off and marry American heiresses if you go about being a delicate wilting little hothouse-flower, she told herself. So she straightened her shoulders and put up her chin and took a good strong grip on her bag and put a smile on her face. She pushed the door wide open and called out cheerily, 'Hello Susan ' as she stepped into the hall.

Описание: Leniency policies are seen as a revolution in contemporary anti-cartel law enforcement. Unique to competition law, these policies are regarded as essential to detecting, punishing, and deterring business collusion; conduct that subverts competition at national and global levels. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and enforcers from around the world, this book is a critique of the almost universal adoption and zealous defense of leniency by competition authorities. The book charts the origins of and impetuses for the leniency movement, while capturing key insights from academic research and practical experience relating to the operation and effectiveness of leniency policies. It examines leniency from the perspectives of corporate and individual applicants, advisers, and authorities. It also explores the debates surrounding the intersections between leniency and other crucial elements of the enforcement system, such as compensation, compliance, and criminalization. The rich analysis draws on the disciplines of law, regulation, economics, criminology. and political science. It makes a substantial and distinctive contribution to the literature on a topic that is highly significant to a wide range of actors in the field of competition law and business regulation generally. *** ..".fundamental questions are raised and thoroughly discussed in this book which is undoubtedly the most comprehensive scholarly work on leniency policies produced so far... the] book should be required reading for all seeking to acquire a deeper insight into the issues related to leniency policy. It is a priceless contribution..." - From the Foreword by Professor Frederic Jenny (Series: Hart Studies in Competition Law, Vol. 10) Subject: Competition Law, Business Law, Economics, Criminal Law]

Описание: Twenty-six years after World War III, Madeline, who lost her sight in a fire as an infant, lives a healthy life in a small Utopian community built as an anti-thesis to what initially caused the war, the history of which has been romanticized to keep the knowledge of sin, corruption and vice from the consciousness of its kin. When Grayland, a stranger from the outside world, stumbles upon the community, Madeline becomes intoxicated by his presence, sensing a connection to him that she doesn't understand. When he offers her the chance to experience the world she so desires to be a part of, Madeline follows him into a truth she's not at all ready to accept.Spiritually resonant and genuine in its conviction, "Year of the Songbird" deals with the power of addiction, sexual and spiritual awakening, the corruption of labels, how outside influences can devour even the strongest of convictions, and how weakness and vice are more easily attained than virtue and happiness."When I was given the opportunity of sight, I wasn't afraid of what I would see; I was afraid of what I would feel. And what I felt was a burning need to return to the fruit of my blindness, for only in the dark was I truly able to see." - Madeline of the Ark, R.H. 28Contains strong language, adult themes and adult situations. Parental discretion is advised.
