Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů různých žánrů od světových autorů. Jednotlivé tituly jsou doplněny stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Tento svazek obsahuje romány: 1) Lee Child: Únos - Bývalý vojenský vyšetřovatel Jack Reacher se nikdy neváhá postavit na stranu spravedlnosti. Když si ho najme záhadný pan Lane, aby vystopoval únosce jeho ženy a dcery, využívá všech svých zkušeností, aby odhalil pachatele a našel oběti únosu. Otázkou ovšem je, zda s ním Lane hraje čistou hru. 2) Nicholas Sparks: Odvaha uvěřit - V zapadlém městečku Boone Creek se prý v noci objevují na hřbitově tajemná světla. Pro novináře Jeremyho Marshe, který vybudoval svou kariéru na nacházení racionálního vysvětlení paranormálních jevů, jsou podobné zprávy ideálním námětem na reportáž. Jeho objektivní přístup reportéra ale bere za své, když na místo přísné logiky nastoupí city. 3) Martin O'Brien: Jacquot a anděl - Když v poklidném provensálském městečku dojde hned k několikanásobné vraždě, je to pochopitelně událost, která rozvíří život všech starousedlíků. Zvlášť proto, že obětí je rodina německého lékaře, který zde žije již řadu let, a jak inspektor Daniel Jacquot brzy zjišťuje, řada místních obyvatel má dosud v živé paměti události druhé světové války. 4) John Grogan: Marley - Aby se připravili na rodičovskou zodpovědnost, rozhodli se Jenny a John Groganovi opatřit si psa. Labrador je podle odborníků ideálním psem pro začátečníky - vyrovnaný, neagresivní, inteligentní a vhodný pro výcvik. Marley, jak se štěně Groganových jmenovalo, byl sice mezi labradory výjimkou, ale jeho majitelé si rozhodně nemohli stěžovat na nudu.
Bad Dogs Have More Fun is an unforgettable collection of more than seventy-five newspaper articles from The Philadelphia Inquirer written by former columnist John Grogan. Combining humor, wit, poignancy, and affection, these columns provide insight into the intriguing and wonderful world we live in. Whether it be writing about animals (from dogs to elephants to geese!), powerful and moving comments about his own and other families, trenchant comments on life's foibles and farces, or his interviews and interactions with people who are memorable and unusual in their own right, John Grogan makes us laugh--he makes us cry--he makes us think.
Quando John e Jenny, una giovane coppia della Florida, decidono di adottare un cane per fare pratica come genitori non si immaginano quale uragano sta per abbattersi sulla loro casa. Marley, un Labrador giallo, da adorabile cucciolo si trasforma immediatamente in un gigante maldestro che si lancia attraverso le porte a zanzariera, distrugge le pareti, sbava sugli ospiti, ingurgita qualsiasi cosa attiri la sua curiosità, dai gioielli ai divani, e fugge dai bar tirandosi dietro il tavolino. Insomma, è la vergogna della scuola di addestramento e la disperazione del suo veterinario, che non sa più quale tranquillante prescrivergli. Ma Marley ha anche un cuore puro e innocente. Come rifiuta ogni limite imposto alla sua esuberanza, così la sua lealtà e il suo attaccamento sono infiniti, e la sua allegria devastante ma contagiosa sa riconquistarsi ogni volta l'affetto dei padroni. Questo libro è la sua storia, le gesta di una "persona non umana" che ha condiviso le gioie e i dolori della famiglia mentre questa cresceva, se n'è sentito parte anche nei periodi in cui nessuno voleva più saperne di lui e soprattutto è stato, per tutta la sua esistenza, un distruttivo, insostituibile, commovente esempio d'amore e fedeltà.
