Vypátra svoju skutočnú identitu?

Napísal Milan Buno, knižný publicista 15. marec 2020

Keď zhasnú svetlá je výborne rozpracovaný psychotriler, ktorý vás pohltí od prvých strán. Najskôr vychádza ako e-kniha, o pár dní ako klasická papierová kniha.
Kubica umne zvolila striedanie kapitol, v ktorých sledujeme Jessie v súčasnosti a v ďalších sa vraciame do minulosti s Eden...

Kedy a ako sa prepoja ich príbehy? Vypátra Jessie svoju skutočnú identitu a spozná svoj pôvod? Bol celý jej život iba lož?

Vypočujte si, čo o svojej knihe hovorí exkluzívne pre slovenských čitateľov Mary Kubica:

Hlavnou hrdinkou je teda Jessie Sloanová. Jej mama umiera na rakovinu a ona bdie pri jej posteli. Je unavená, zničená a po naliehaní lekárov si konečne vezme lieky, aby si trochu oddýchla. Zaspí...no po prebudení zistí, že jej mama je mŕtva. Prespala jej smrť a nesmierne si to vyčíta. Odvtedy začína trpieť insomniou a nedokáže spať.

Insomnia si postupne vyberá svoju daň: krvou podliate oči, zábudlivosť, záchvaty smiechu a čo je oveľa horšie, Jessie začína vidieť veci, ktoré neexistujú.
Čoskoro navyše zistí, že kvôli sociálnej poistke vlastne neexistuje a je evidovaná ako mŕtva. Je to iba nejaká administratívna chyba, alebo sa deje niečo oveľa zlovestnejšie?     
A podarí sa Jessie prísť na to, kto v skutočnosti je, kým nebude neskoro? Pretože po smrti mamy sa dozvedela šokujúce informácie...

Mary Kubica má slovenské korene. Jej starí rodičia pochádzajú z obce Považany neďaleko  Nového Mesta nad Váhom, aktuálne žije v Chicagu. V minulosti už navštívila svoju vzdialenú rodinu, ako aj obce, odkiaľ sú jej korene. „Bol to pre nás úžasný zážitok,“ spomína si Mary.

Začítajte sa do novinky Keď zhasnú svetlá:

Nemusím sa dívať do zrkadla, viem, ako vyzerám. Oči opuchnuté, bielka krvavé. Pokožku okolo nich mám podráždenú, červenú, lebo si ich stále mädlím. Takto je to so mnou niekoľko dní, odkedy mama umiera. Telo jej chradne, ruky a nohy má studené, krvný obeh zlyháva. Chvíľami stráca vedomie, odmieta jesť. Blúzni, rozpráva z cesty.
Posledné dni len chraptí, nahlas, nepravidelne. Lekár skonštatoval, že dochádza k takzvanému Cheyneovmu-Stokesovmu javu. Hlboké, rýchle dýchanie strieda útlm, dokonca zastavenie dychu. Keď nedýchala ona, nedýchala som ani ja. Nechty má modré, pokožku na rukách a nohách fľakatú, sivastú. „Predzvesť blížiacej sa smrti,“ oznámil mi doktor, chytil ma za plece a spýtal sa, či nemá zavolať niekoho, kto by bol so mnou, kým príde koniec.
„Už to nepotrvá dlho,“ povedal.
Pokrútila som hlavou, zadržiavajúc slzy. Nie, nebudem plakať. Už takmer týždeň sedím v tom istom kresle, v jednom pokrčenom oblečení, odskakujem si len do nemocničného bufetu po kávu. „Nemáme nikoho,“ odvetila som. „Sme len my dve — mama a ja.“
Vždy to tak bolo, iba mama a ja. Ak mám niekde otca, neviem o ňom. Mama mi ho celý čas tajila.  Je večer. Zas pri mne stojí lekár v naškrobenom bielom plášti, ustarostene sa díva na moje opuchnuté oči. Dáva mi tabletku. Mám ju užiť a ľahnúť si vedľa na voľné lôžko.
„Kedy si naposledy spala, Jessie?“ spýta sa ma, a kým stihnem zaklamať, že v noci — hoci som si zdriemla len na slabú polhodinku —, dodá: „Myslím, kedy si sa poriadne vyspala.“
Vysvetľuje mi, že bez spánku sa nedá žiť. Na nedostatok spánku sa aj zomiera. „Spánková deprivácia má vážne následky. Organizmus potrebuje oddych,“ nalieha. Nechápem, čo sa do toho stará, je mamin doktor, nie môj.
Z nejakých dôvodov začne vymenúvať, čo môže spôsobiť nedostatok spánku. Napríklad citovú labilnosť. Človek bez zjavnej príčiny raz plače, inokedy sa smeje. Správa sa nevypočítateľne. Stráca pojem o čase. Má vidiny, halucinácie. Nie je schopný rozprávať.
Ďalej sú tu aj fyzické následky: srdcový infarkt, podchladenie, mozgová porážka.
„Tabletky na spanie nezaberajú,“ bránim sa, ale on pokrúti hlavou. Vraj mi nedáva barbituráty, len niečo na upokojenie, na odbúranie strachu a úzkosti. „Je to sedatívum,“ vysvetľuje. „Prostriedok na uvoľnenie. Pomáha zaspať a nemá škodlivé vedľajšie účinky ako hypnotiká.“
Lenže ja nechcem spať. Naopak, musím bdieť, chcem byť pri mame, keď bude odchádzať na druhý svet.
Vstanem, poberiem sa k dverám. „Jessie,“ zastaví ma lekár, zľahka mi položí ruku na predlaktie. Na tvári má neúprimný úsmev.
„Nepotrebujem tabletky,“ odvrknem a vymaním sa. Vonku pred miestnosťou sestier stojí ošetrovateľka, v očiach sa jej zračí súcit. „Skôr kávu,“ vyhlásim, vyhnem sa jej pohľadu a ťažkým unaveným krokom pokračujem po chodbe.
V bufete niekedy vídam chalana. Pôsobí ako ja — zosypaný, v pokrčených šatách, unavený, oči červené, očividne funguje len na kofeíne. Aj on je podráždený, nervózny, na pokraji zrútenia. Hranatá tvár, tmavé strapaté vlasy, husté obočie. Niekedy sa skrýva za slnečnými okuliarmi, maskuje nimi, že plakal. Sedáva s nohami vyloženými na plastovej stoličke. Červená mikina, na hlave kapucňa, popíja kávu.
Ešte som sa s ním nerozprávala. Nie som dievča, ktoré oslovujú frajeri, ako je on. No dnes večer si z ničoho nič sadnem vedľa neho. Za normálnych okolností by som určite nenabrala odvahu, aby som sa mu prihovorila. Dnes sa odhodlám. Možno len odkladám návrat za mamou, dávam doktorovi čas, aby ju vyšetril a odišiel.
„Nehodíme reč?“ spýtam sa. Zatvári sa prekvapene, akoby neveril vlastným ušiam. Zdvihne zrak, pozrie na mňa nádhernými modrými očami — taký odtieň majú hádam len krídla motýľa morpho.
„Nafigu káva,“ povie po chvíli a odloží pohár. Akoby to bola jediné, čo ho trápi. Nič iné. No keď sa lepšie pozriem, vidím, že ju vypil do dna. Nemohla byť teda až taká hnusná.
„Čo jej chýba?“ spýtam sa a odchlipnem si zo svojej. Je horúca, zložím plastový vrchnák, fúkam. Do nosa mi stúpa para. Keď sa znova napijem, už sa nepopálim. Nemocničná káva nemá chybu. Presne takú mám rada.
Žiadne nóbl výmysly — obyčajná poctivá káva. Nasypem si do nej štyri vrecúška sladidla, krúživým pohybom zamiešam.
Nemám lyžičku ani paličku.
„Je slabá a pláva v nej usadenina,“ odvetí a zagáni na odložený téglik. „Čo ja viem,“ pokrčí plecami, „asi mám rád silnejšiu.“

    If you don’t have access to a cable machine, you can do a

    looped around your ankles. Buckle up for an thrilling
    and effective six weeks of expertly crafted exercises that

    For a exercise with this volume and depth, once every week is probably
    about right for most of you. Perhaps repeat it something like each 5–7
    days, depending in your schedule and the way recovered
    you're, and when you consider that you can beat your earlier weights.

    If you hit three units of 5 reps, you enhance the weight for the next workout and stick with that till you can as
    soon as once more make 3 x 5.
    Whereas most of the finest glute exercises could be done at home utilizing simply body weight, adding resistance
    bands or dumbbells is a good way to increase the
    problem and tone the glutes extra effectively. Before including weight to your butt workouts, attempt a number of squats,
    lunge variations, and/or hip thrusts to wake up your sleepy glutes.

    This strengthens the mind-body connection between your brain and your butt muscles to make sure your glute max stays energetic throughout your workout, she
    says. One widespread glute activation cue is to suppose about squeezing your glutes on the high of an exercise.


    In order to advertise muscle recovery and relaxation, work your glutes utilizing the workout
    routines listed two or 3 times per week. They support lower again energy by aiding with the motions of the hip, pelvis, and
    trunk. The deep squat carried out on this transfer creates a full stretch movement, isolating the
    glutes and activating all three muscular tissues there.


    The transfer is considered one of the best possible workout routines
    for targeting this necessary hip muscle, per a December 2020 ​International Journal of Sports Activities Bodily Therapy​ examine.
    When your knee straightens towards resistance
    (from gravity and the load you are holding) your quadriceps within the entrance
    of your thighs fireplace. This makes it an excellent transfer for working and constructing
    the quads — and helping you extra easily climb stairs. To do a whole
    workout, choose 4 to 5 of these workouts to construct a 20-minute routine.
    "The essential aspect is to make sure the motion is being controlled by the anterior (hind) leg and that you're lowering your self enough to feel a deep stretch into your hamstring," Araujo says.
    Sluggish down the eccentric (lowering) a part of this hip-thrust exercise
    to make it tougher. You can make this exercise tougher by
    performing the bridge with one leg off the bottom.

    However within the Romanian deadlift, they'll work at
    a slightly totally different angle. A recent research confirmed that deep squats result in twice the gluteus maximus
    hypertrophy that half squats do. So even when deep squats are more durable
    and more technically challenging, it seems to be worth it to squat deep, even if it
    implies that you will have to take some (or a lot) weight off
    of the bar. The squat is identified as "the king of all exercises" (or
    queen, should you will), and in relation to glute training,
    it lives up to the hype. The previous power workout routines aren't the one moves for the glutes—cardio actions can be
    an effective approach to interact your backside.
    If you are already match, deepen the lunge and touch your knee
    to the ground. If your objective is glutes with the 45° again extension, I need you to focus on a couple of key things.
    Then, when extending up, go as excessive up as you
    possibly can until your glutes are contracted.
    Once you could have a great butt squeeze, that’s the highest of the rep.
    Don’t maintain driving up, as once more this isn't extra glutes.
    There are numerous options for cardio workouts that will help strengthen your butt.

    This can be accomplished along with strength coaching to actually work
    your glutes and maximize your results.
    On your subsequent cycling workout, get your glutes involved by main together with your heel if you push down on the pedals.
    On the upswing, pull up on the pedal (if you've foot straps) to be positive to're using every a part of your legs throughout
    your exercise. You also can increase your resistance, lift your butt off the seat,
    and slowly pedal utilizing only your legs, without your higher body transferring or
    bouncing. The glutes are made up of three completely different
    muscle tissue, the gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, and gluteus maximus.
    Because of the excessive demands you place on them,
     the glute muscles want power training, muscle hypertrophy work, and even muscular endurance training.
    Whereas anecdotal, many people claim to get superior outcomes with ultra-high rep schemes of 20+.
    Again, you probably can perform these with bodyweight solely, or you'll have the ability to even use a Smith machine to
    add a load.
    Again extensions practice the posterior chain without added stress on the
    backbone. Strive beginning with no resistance as you give consideration to
    using the glutes to carry out the movement. You can add resistance as you
    progress with both weights or bands. Individuals in search of an efficient upper glute workout ought to contemplate integrating this into
    their glute routine. The drop in physique fat, especially across the waist, will further help to lift and improve
    the looks of buttocks measurement. When you
    start to give consideration to training and strengthening the gluteus medius, you’ll
    discover improved stride and more than likely a
    discount in back and knee pain. Plus, you’ll help your
    pelvis keep stabilized in its optimal position,
    so that you don’t have to worry about getting injured
    during lower-body exercises or runs.
    You can squat and deadlift all you want, but if you’re not activating
    your muscles, you’ll never add extra muscle mass. If
    you battle to lock out a heavy deadlift or squat, lockout glute energy may
    maintain you again. The hip thrust strengthens the glutes
    at full hip extension, serving to you energy via sticking factors in those lifts.


    After you're done with this text, you'll perceive the glute
    anatomy and capabilities, one of the best workout routines to construct your butt, and important programming tips.
    What is the powerhouse of the physique and the preferred
    muscle on Instagram? Just about each lifter needs more muscle mass and power gains there as they know it's going to make them look higher AND be stronger.
    The glute muscles are necessary as a result of they hold us upright and our bodies transferring
    forward. The major functions of the glute muscular tissues are to assist hip extension, internal rotation, and abduction of the hips
    (moving the hip away from the body).
    As you could think, this will create an entire host of issues
    corresponding to iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, low back ache,
    and knee injuries to call a quantity of. Whereas aesthetics are essential (and probably one of the major causes you work
    out), there are some muscles in your body that
    may do rather more than simply make you look good. The booty
    cannot grow if you're not eating the best meals to develop glutes.

    Like the squat, it primarily targets the hip extending operate
    of the glutes, which makes up many of the glute muscle
    mass. Whereas the previous workout routines principally target the
    gluteus maximus, this transfer targets the smaller gluteus medius and minimus.
    Don't worry, though, the gluteus maximus is still concerned because you're squatting.

    Reverse lunges problem you to work on your stability and coordination and may take some pressure off your
    knees. Additionally, pushing the load by way of your heel as a substitute of the ball of your toes engages the glutes way over a conventional lunge.

    Your tempo is necessary whereas performing RDLs; slowing down this lift keeps
    your muscular tissues under tension. This time under tension is considered one of my
    best suggestions for higher muscle activation and pumps.

    Then we’ll check out the explanation why your gluteal muscles aren’t growing, and I’ll offer you some quick repair
    workout routines to develop glutes. Coaching the higher glutes may
    help to balance out butt form and spherical out the general buttocks appearance.
    Since the superficial gluteal muscle tissue
    are close to the outer layer of pores and skin, adjustments
    in the dimension of those muscles will be visible beneath the skin. Glute bridges are a great exercise to add to your lower body
    exercise routine.
    Both of those shortcomings vanish like donuts on cheat day with this banded variation. That’s
    to not say my listing of high glute exercises doesn’t
    embody squat or deadlift variations. Nevertheless, I’ve modified these actions to make them far more glute-centric.
    With all of that in thoughts, it’s safe to say that we must always reappraise how we take into consideration training our backside.
    Fortunately for you, we’ve obtained 12
    glute workouts that you can throw into your workouts, right now, for immediate glute features.
    Strengthening your glutes comes with the bonus of helping prevent harm elsewhere within the physique.

    In this motion, you will work the posterior chain, including the glutes,
    hamstrings, lower back, and core. This hip hinge exercise will allow you to
    add continuous pressure on the glutes when you can end off
    the motion with a protracted isometric maintain to activate these
    muscle fibers and stimulate progress. Again extensions
    are great for strengthening the decrease again and spinal erectors,
    however they're also good for hitting the glutes should you make a minor
    adjustment. By flaring your feet outwards, you may switch extra
    stress onto the glutes so that they are activated more as you carry your body.

    I’ve been told that I even have a weak glute medius by my pt and
    that’s what's causing so lots of my leg points prefer it
    band syndrome, overpronation, patellar pain, and so forth.
    It started with an old knee harm then simply years of being a couch potato and not
    rehabbing it properly made it worse. They gave me workout routines like
    side lying leg raises, clam shells, and monster walks which do
    work my glute medius. I’ve even watched videos on tips on how to adjust these exercises to increase
    glute med activation. For all these causes, you need to make these glute coaching exercises a part of your program.
    I promise it’s going to speed up your performance on these larger lifts.

    This is the place we wish to carry out the vast majority of our glute targeted exercises.
    I just lately acquired an email from a model new follower asking me "How can I grow my glutes fast? " She
