Štyria úspešní vrahovia na čudnom večierku

Napísal Milan Buno, knižný publicista 07. november 2021

Detektívka Karty na stole z roku 1936 patrí medzi najlepšie a najoriginálnejšie diela legendárnej Agathy Christie. Táto skvelá detektívka so slávnym Herculom Poirotom v hlavnej úlohe vychádza v novom vydaní a rozhodne by ste mali po nej siahnuť, ak milujete tento žáner.

Pán Shaitana, výstredný zberateľ kuriozít, sa v spoločnosti preslávil okázalými večierkami. Keď sa tento záhadný človek pochváli Herculovi Poirotovi, že vražda je preňho formou umenia, detektív len váhavo prijme pozvanie na bridžový večierok, počas ktorého mu hostiteľ plánuje predstaviť súkromnú „zbierku“ vrahov.

Okrem štyroch hostí, ktorí vraj v minulosti spáchali vraždu, sa u Shaitanu stretávajú aj štyri detektívne esá: superintendent Battle zo Scotland Yardu, známa autorka detektívok Ariadne Oliverová, plukovník Race z kráľovskej tajnej služby a vychýrený detektív Hercule Poirot. Spočiatku nevinná partia bridžu sa však rýchlo zmení na celkom inú hru…

Karty na stole je jedna z najlepších detektívok Agathy Christie, ktorá je dokonca napísaná s vtipom a nadhľadom. Opäť brilantná zápletka, rôznorodé postavy, sled myšlienok a udalostí, ktoré s chuťou sledujete, vnímate a snažíte sa prísť na to, kto je vrahom.
Poirot je geniálny, tá jeho dedukcia a vystupovanie sú úžasné, takže jedine on môže donútiť vraha, aby vyložil karty na stôl. Podľa nás je táto knižná predloha dokonca lepšia ako filmová verzia, aj keď všetka česť Davidovi Suchetovi.

Táto detektívka je navyše špeciálna aj tým, že sa v nej stretnú štyri postavy z diel Agathy Christie, v ktorých pátrajú samostatne. Pre pani Oliverovú je to premiéra.
S náčrtom zápletky sme sa vďaka Poirotovi zoznámili už vo Vraždách podľa abecedy. A pozor – v tejto knihe je zasa zmienka o prípade v Orient-exprese. A to dokonca vrátane rozuzlenia, takže najskôr si prečítajte Vraždu v Orient-exprese, až potom Karty na stole. 

Prečítajte si úryvok z knihy Karty na stole:

„Drahý monsieur Poirot!“
Bol to jemný hlas pripomínajúci pradenie mačky — hlas nenútene používaný ako nástroj, v ktorom nebolo nič impulzívne ani premyslené.
Hercule Poirot sa obrátil.
Uklonil sa.
Slávnostne vystrel ruku.
V očiach sa mu zračilo čosi nezvyčajné. Dalo by sa povedať, že to náhodné stretnutie v ňom vyvolalo veľmi zriedkavý pocit.
„Drahý pán Shaitana,“ povedal.
Obaja sa odmlčali. Vyzerali ako súperi en garde. Okolo nich sa pomaly prechádzali dobre oblečení Londýnčania. Ozývalo sa tlmené mrmlanie.
„Sú nádherné, miláčik!“
„Jednoducho božské! Nie je tak, srdiečko?“
Vo Wessex House sa konala výstava tabatierok. Vstupné jedna guinea putovalo na pomoc londýnskym nemocniciam.
„Drahý pane,“ oslovil ho Shaitana, „aký som rád, že sme sa stretli! Momentálne nikoho nevešiate ani nestínate? Zavládla vo svete zločinu uhorková sezóna? Alebo sa tu má dnes popoludní odohrať lúpež? To by bolo nesmierne zaujímavé.“
„Žiaľ, monsieur,“ odvetil Poirot, „prišiel som sem v čisto súkromnej záležitosti.“
Shaitanu na okamih zaujala mladá krásavica s kučerami ako pudlík, vyčesanými na jednej strane hlavy, a s ozdobou z čiernej slamy, pripomínajúcou tri rohy hojnosti, na druhej strane. „Drahá,“ oslovil ju, „prečo ste neprišli na môj večierok? Bola tam úžasná zábava! Mnohí so mnou dokonca prehodili pár slov!
Jedna žena mi povedala: ‚Teší ma‘, ‚Dovidenia‘ a ‚Veľmi pekne Ďakujem‘. Chuderka, pochádzala z dajakého malomesta.“
Zatiať čo dievčina odpovedala, ako sa na dobre vychovanú mladú dámu patrí, Poirot dôkladne skúmal chlpatú ozdobu nad Shaitanovou hornou perou.
Pekné fúzy, veľmi pekné. Azda jediné fúzy v Londýne, ktoré by mohli súperiť s tými Poirotovými.
„Nie sú až také husté,“ zamrmlal si pre seba. „Nie, mojim sa v ničom nevyrovnajú. Tout de meˆme, pozornosť však upútajú.“
Pozornosť nie náhodou pútala celá Shaitanova osobnosť.
Robil totiž všetko pre to, aby vyzeral ako Mefistofeles. Vysoký chudý muž s pretiahnutou melancholickou tvárou, výrazným uhľovočiernym obočím, fúzmi s tuhými navoskovanými koncami a tenkou čiernou briadkou nosil šaty, ktoré vyzerali ako hotové umelecké dielo — dokonale ušité, no akési bizarné.
Každý normálny Angličan, ktorý ho uvidel, mal chuť poriadne ho nakopať, a všetci bez štipky originality opakovali: „Tamto je ten prekliaty Shaitana!“

    This raise requires higher ranges of wrist energy and mobility plus
    biceps and forearm power. However it’s an excellent change of pace lift and if
    you need to strengthen your upper chest, this is for
    you. I’m still a giant fan of this rule as a outcome of it
    still allows the lifter to work on grip energy
    for lighter units and nonetheless have the power to lock
    into heavier weight to give consideration to the traps.

    That signifies that when we’re doing a compound pushing movement, we can’t fully engage the longer heads of our triceps.
    So, if you’re seeking to take your upper again to the subsequent stage, the
    barbell shrug is a must-add to your exercise routine.
    Learn on to study more about this mass-building exercise, its benefits, and the muscular tissues worked.

    If you wish to stimulate extra triceps activation, instead of
    pointing your elbows directly to the ceiling,
    level them barely ahead, in path of your head.
    This will be sure that your triceps stay in pressure on the prime of the movement, resulting in more muscle progress.
    If your goal is to construct the power and dimension of your triceps then this is a wonderful train so that you just
    can incorporate into your training. The slim grip locations nearly all of
    the workload in your triceps. The commonest error with the close-grip bench
    press is bringing your hands too shut. Doing so puts your wrists in a compromised position, growing the chance of discomfort and an injury.

    If we want to challenge anterior decrease body energy at high intensities, we
    will go along with max-effort entrance squats.
    If we wish to enhance bodily composition and increase lower physique work capacity,
    we are in a position to program our entrance squats as repeated-effort accessory train coaching.

    Apart from the various variations of the back squat, the front squat is
    one of our go-to special exercises. Contemplating we
    carry the barbell on the anterior higher torso, the entrance squat challenges posture,
    trunk, and again energy a lot differently than the back squat.
    With a again squat, we can depend on the trunk to soak up flexion, while the entrance squat requires strict trunk bracing and an upright torso place to maintain the barbell secure.

    The barbell again squat is undoubtedly one of the effective
    workouts for developing decrease physique, trunk, and posterior chain power.
    It is also referred to as the competition squat and is essentially the most commonly used lower-body multi-joint barbell
    movement.
    Weighted dips take body weight dips to the subsequent stage, making them an excellent triceps
    mass and energy builder. Adding weight forces the triceps to work tougher via a
    full vary of motion. If you prepare to be sturdy, your triceps have to do the heavy lifting — actually.
    These muscle tissue are the driving force behind highly effective presses, explosive lockouts, and overall upper-body resilience.

    Other frequent mistakes embody not using a spotter or utilizing too
    much weight. Most individuals should begin with around 80% of the load they sometimes use when bench-pressing.
    As your triceps are extra concerned and your shoulders less
    so, you might not be in a position to deal with the identical weight as you possibly can when performing a wide-grip press.
    The shut grip bench press is an typically missed but extremely
    effective train targeting chest and tricep muscle tissue.

    Extensive grip recruits twice as a lot chest because it does triceps compared to the standard shoulder-width overhand variation (study).

    This is due to the elbows being extra in line with the barbell all through
    the ROM. The close grip bench press is a powerhouse exercise that not only builds tricep
    power but in addition enhances general higher physique
    performance. It Is a variation of the normal bench press that shifts the major target from the chest to the triceps.
    It’s a versatile train that advantages powerlifters, bodybuilders,
    and anyone trying to improve their pressing power and higher body
    power. The extensive grip bench press lets you place a stronger focus on the pecs and fewer on the delts and triceps.

    So briefly, you’ll have the flexibility to lift extra
    weight, putting extra pressure on the pecs, whilst limiting your
    overall upper body activation.
    Keep in mind though, that this is coping with collegiate football players.
    I would recommend adjusting the load commonplace for straps based mostly in your
    situation. Add it as a primary movement on arm or chest-focused coaching days, or use
    it as an accessory lift to enrich other pressing workouts.
    Observe these steps to execute the shut grip
    bench press with confidence and efficiency. The third and last
    exercise of the barbell tricep workout is the overhead triceps extension. It’s easily one of the best triceps workouts and hits all three heads of the triceps, the long head
    specifically.
    Rest for ~2 minutes between sets of the primary exercise, the close-grip bench press,
    and between one and two minutes between units of
    the second and third workout routines. Also, ensure you have
    a safe grip by gripping the bar together with your thumb
    (closed grip). Don’t use the monkey grip (open grip), the place
    the thumb is subsequent to the opposite fingers. When gripping the bar,
    your thumb acts as a security measure against unintentional roll-off.

    While the shortage pof a bar allows you to select a grip
    width, in reality that is quite difficult to implement and you’ll more than likely end up with one
    thing similar to the usual grip width barbell bench press.
    This train is nearly similar to carry out, nonetheless when the
    bar moves it will solely travel up and down on its mounted frame,
    eradicating the soundness component. This makes the train simpler
    and due to this fact reduces stress on the muscles,
    leading to much less muscle development. Yes, the CGBP is usually practiced within CrossFit,
    but it isn't a basic CrossFit exercise.
    Keep Away From arcing the bar out out of
    your body and maintaining it near you by raising your elbows up as a substitute of out.

    you’re lifting. It's no secret that if you wish to be able to urgent
    heavy weights on... Count On expert-backed workouts, nutrition advice, the latest in power sports, and an entire lot of
    motivation heading your method. Use a slender, underhand grip to preferentially target your biceps and lats over the remainder
    of your again musculature (e.g., traps and rear delts).

    Lifting hips off the bench in the course of the close-grip
    bench press may be an indicator the burden is simply too heavy.
    Reduce the load as needed and pay consideration to good
    body mechanics. If you’re new to weight lifting
    and this exercise, utilizing a spotter or smith machine is
    really helpful for security. As Quickly As you're comfy with the
    close-grip bench press and a spotter is unavailable, stay conservative with the burden hundreds persevering with to work on good
    type and approach. The close-grip bench press is a nice way to
    add selection to your upper-body workout, and there are
    common errors to avoid.
    In this weblog, we’ll break down the barbell upright
    row and present you how to master it safely for max
    features. Remember to prioritize safety by using applicable weights, maintaining correct
    kind, and utilizing a spotter when necessary. Whether you’re a newbie or a sophisticated athlete, this
    exercise could be tailor-made to fulfill your
    health targets. As mentioned earlier, getting an excellent stretch at the bottom vary can really
    enhance your features. So, don't play cheat — ensure you perform every train in a managed method and
    achieve a full vary of motion. The brilliant aspect is that using dumbbells might put your triceps in a extra stretched position at the backside, potentially
    providing you with extra positive aspects over time. Analysis
    suggests this must be enough to maximise triceps activation while

    That Includes the best exercise choice to pack on lean muscle mass, you may be in for the best tricep exercises you’ve
    had, and all you need is a barbell, a bench, and some weight plates.
    Throughout a bicep curl, you ought to use different grip positions
    to train the totally different heads of the biceps.

    It’s made yet more effective because barbells allow you to overload your biceps with more resistance
    than different kinds of free weights. It ought to be noted that we can also embody front
    squats as a dynamic effort decrease squat variation for athletes.
    This option would usually be reserved for weightlifters or CrossFit athletes,
    considering the importance of the entrance squat inside these two sports activities.

    The Place the bar touches your chest must be particular person and I’d counsel feeling out what feels strongest for you.
    In this guide, I will train you tips on how to do Close Grip Bench Presses including necessary coaching suggestions, what muscular tissues are being worked
    and some variations you can strive. To maximize engagement in your triceps, you want to press the
    barbell over your TORSO. This will help place the barbell over your torso throughout your repetitions.


    The conventional bench press and the wide grip bench press each involve a higher vary of movement and
    may enable for more muscle activation in the chest. The close grip position might place extra
    emphasis on the triceps, however may not absolutely have interaction the chest
    muscles. The extensive (overhand) grip barbell bench press is a grip that’s 1.5-2X the width of
    your shoulders. This variation maximally recruits the upper chest muscles and reduces the vary of movement which decreases the quantity of work it takes to
    lockout.
    Out of all these variations, it’s essentially the
    most tough to set up and execute. You will expertise some writs soreness so lighten to
    weight build the forearm energy before going heavy.
    This grip permits you to retract and depress the
    shoulder blades better permitting for easier setup and unracking the bar.

    A lot of powerlifters use the extensive grip due to the better
    setup and less ROM. Although grip power is not an issue with most urgent exercises
    the usual overhand grip makes it simpler in your wrists
    to grip because your elbows will be in line with them.
    If they’re not stacked, then there’s a great likelihood you may be gripping too slim to
    get essentially the most out of this train on your triceps.
    As Soon As you’ve hit your chest you’ll begin your concentric or lifting portion of the exercise.

    For the press, think about keeping the elbows comparatively tucked and sustaining that sturdy stacked place with the wrists and elbows.

    Set and brace just like how you'd for your barbell bench press.
    Make sure the feet round grounded, the hips are on the bench, and the higher
    again is about and ready.
    Each Time the shoulders are kidnapped and externally rotated, this puts the shoulder joint
    in a susceptible place. Although you’ll use more weight and fewer ROM, you need excellent shoulder mobility
    to drag this lift-off. Because you’re lying down on a bench, utilizing a barbell combined with a comparatively straight pressing path, the bench press
    must be your strongest pressing exercise. The height you place the
    bar in the rack might be more essential than it gets credit score
    for. Place it too low and it provides a partial deadlift
    to the train but place it too high and you’ll hit the bar off the rack while doing reps.

    An alternated grip, one overhand and one underhand,
    will dramatically improve your grip energy on the bar. This is as a result of of the fact that a barbell has
    a pure tendency to wish to roll out of your arms.
