Chlapec vo svetle reflektorov - Samuel Bjork

Sú Vianoce. Starší muž šoféruje auto cez Škandinávske vrchy. Zrazu si všimne, ako sa v tme pred ním čosi črtá. Len-len že stihne pribrzdiť a zastaviť. V snehových jazykoch tvoriacich sa pred autom stojí malý chlapec. Má modré pery a na hlave nasadené jelenie parohy.O štrnásť rokov nájdu v neďalekom horskom jazere telo zavraždeného dievčaťa oblečeného v baletnom úbore. Na brehu stojí fotoaparát pripevnený na statív. Vo vrese pri brehu nájdu vytrhnutú stranu z detskej knihy Bratia Levie srdce.Vyšetrovateľku Miu Krügerovú stále máta smrť jej dvojčaťa a jej kolega Holger Munch si vzal neplatené voľno, aby sa postaral o svoju dcéru. Čudný a spletitý prípad ich však čoraz viac vťahuje do svojich osídel, hoci sú skalopevne presvedčení, že prípad čoskoro vyriešia. Vedia toho však až žalostne málo. O tom, čo ich čaká a neminie.Z nórskeho originálu Gutten som elsket radyr (Vigmostad & Bjorke, Bergen, 2018) preložili Zuzana Inczingerová a Lenka Kočišová.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky slovenskýPočet strán 392Dátum uvedenia titulu 2019-02-12Rozmery 234x153x33Hmotnosť 592gTypKnihy viazané

My sme na tohto vzácneho muža v tisícročnom zatmení našich národných dejín zabúdali. A žiaľ, zabúdame aj dnes. Preto je tu tento pokus predložiť čitateľovi ucelený pohľad na život a dielo Rastislava a dať podnety pre našu prítomnosť a budúcnosť.
