Mysterious night murder of a dog
At fifteen, Christopher Boon knows the capital of every country in the world and easily copes with complex mathematical calculations. He also hates when they touch him. And yellow.
When Christopher finds the corpse of a neighboring dog in the garden one night, he knows what to do is what Sherlock Holmes would do in his place. Armed with the main tool - logical thinking - Christopher begins the investigation, carefully documenting all his details.
"The mysterious night murder of a dog" is an incredibly piercing story. Haddon reveals the world of a young man, not at all like us. Which is so difficult for us "ordinary" people, but it is necessary to understand.
German house
1963. For 24-year-old Eve, the war is just a vague memory from childhood. But more than two decades have passed, and the streets of Frankfurt are now restored, and instead of ruins, new buildings. Eve is already ready to start a new life far from parents and sister, marrying the rich boyfriend of Jurgen. Eve’s plans are upset when she suddenly calls her a lively American investigator and invites her to act as a translator on the tribunal, where they will judge Nazi criminals. Eve will have to choose between the loyalty to the family and relatives and the desire to reveal the dark secrets of his past.
Voice
Kristina Dalcher draws a nearby future, which may well become real.
On average, a person pronounces 16,000 words a day.
Dr. Jin McCellan, like the entire female part of the American population, is allowed to pronounce only 100.
Women are no longer allowed to work. In schools, girls are not taught either to read or write: after all, their only purpose is to be obedient wives and maintain a home with a warm hearth. Each of their steps is under the vigilant supervision of surveillance cameras.
Women no longer have a voice.
But Jin is not one of those who give up. For the sake of herself, for the sake of her little daughter and for the sake of the future of the whole nation, she will collect all her strength to repulse
