6. Vrah či oběť

   • Adolf Felix

   Nové vydání vtipné a přemýšlivé detektivky známé autorky kriminálních a psychologických románů, v níž s prostřednictvím svého hrdiny, inspektora londýnské policie, upoutaného dočasně na lůžku a tudíž se velice nudícího, snaží vyřešit historickou hádanku. Byl protagonista jedné z nejznámější Shakespearovy tragédie Richard III. opravdu vrah, krutovládce a mravní netvor, nebo nešťastný král, proti němuž se snad všechno spiklo? Vyústění je nejen překvapivé, ale přináší nejedno zamýšlení nad otázkou pravdy v dějinách a nad rolí mýtů a stereotypů v nich. Doplněno studiemi Václava Dršky (o dějinách Anglie v době válek růží) a Jiřího Raka (o mýtech a stereotypech v dějinách).
