... ktorý sfilmovali s Tomom Cruisom (VIDEO). Bola to iba jeho druhá kniha a hneď obrovský úspech. John Grisham najskôr napísal Čas zabíjať, ale nikto si ju takmer nevšimol. „Kniha vyšla v roku 1989 a nepredávala sa.

... Pracoval som vtedy ako právnik, bol som veľmi zaneprázdnený a povedal som si – napíšem ešte jednu knihu,“ spomína si majster právnických trilerov John Grisham. A tak deň po dokončení prvej knihy začal písať Firmu, z ktorej sa stal svetový bestseller, ktorý aj úspešne sfilmovali. Teraz prichádza voľné pokračovanie s názvom Výkupné.

Pred pätnástimi rokmi Mitch McDeer obral mafiu o desať miliónov dolárov a zmizol. Dnes je vo vedení najväčšej právnickej firmy na svete a jeho nepriatelia sú dávno mŕtvi alebo vo väzení. Získal si povesť človeka, ktorého firma posielala zachraňovať klientov v núdzi. Tá rola sa mu páčila, osvojil si ju.
Píše sa rok 2005 a Mitch je partnerom právnickej firmy Scully and Pershing, má manželku Abby a dvoch synov, dvojičky.

Keď ho priateľ a mentor z Ríma Luca Sandroni požiada o láskavosť, ocitne sa v centre sprisahania s celosvetovými dôsledkami – a znova ohrozí kolegov, priateľov aj rodinu. V hre je závratne vysoké výkupné aj ľudské životy.
Má totiž prevziať prípad líbyjskej vlády a tureckej firmy, ktorá tam na žiadosť Muamara Kaddáfího stavala megamost v púšti. Kaddáfí však teraz odmieta zaplatiť a nejde o maličkosť: vo vzduchu visí pol miliardy dolárov.

Mitch sa ocitá pod neskutočným tlakom, a hoci sa časom naučil predbehnúť protivníkov najmenej o krok, tentoraz sa nemá kam schovať. A čas beží.

„Most v púšti.“
„Správne, Mitch, most v púšti a šialený plán spojiť jednu stranu púšte s druhou a vybudovať tam veľkomestá. Stačí postaviť most a doprava si ho nájde. Pred šiestimi rokmi, čiže v deväťdesiatom deviatom, Lannak podpísal s vládou zmluvu za osemsto miliónov dolárov. Kaddáfí chcel miliardový most, a tak ešte pred začatím stavebných prác prikázal zmeny. V novinách vychádzali jeho fotky, na ktorých pózoval s modelmi Veľkého Kaddáfího mosta, a každému sa chválil, že bude stáť miliardu, ktorú Líbya získa z predaja ropy. Nepožičia si ani dolár...

Luca zároveň poprosí Mitcha, aby vzal so sebou jeho dcéru Giovannu, ktorá je tiež právničkou, no už ju nebaví vysedávať len v kancelárii. Chce ísť do sveta, riešiť skutočné prípady. A tak dvojica odcestuje do Líbye, kde však Giovannu unesie skupina brutálnych líbyjských teroristov a hra sa začína.
Únoscovia žiadajú 100 miliónov dolárov do desiatich dní, inak ju zabijú. Mimoriadne brutálne vyvraždia jej bezpečnostný tím, aj samotných Líbyjčanov, ktorí ju sprevádzali...

Pozrite si EXKLUZÍVNE video s Johnom Grishamom pre slovenských čitateľov:

Grisham nezabudol písať, je to skvelý rozprávač, hoci v posledných rokoch akoby písal faktografickejšie. Vo Výkupnom vytvoril vzrušujúcu a napínavú zápletku, pútavý dej, ktorý sa točí okolo obrovských peňazí, desivých podmienok v Líbyi, okolo teroristov a ich brutálnych praktík...prakticky žiadna scéna v súdnej sieni, čo je škoda.

Grisham poslednými románmi viac upozorňuje na prešľapy spoločnosti, otázky morálky - pokiaľ ide o právnický svet, politiku, či finančníctvo. Jeho príbehy sú oveľa angažovanejšie ako kedysi, keď písal hlavne oddychové trilery, pre zábavu. Teraz sa usiluje poukazovať na morálku, nie je tam toľko napätia ako v minulých knihách, no výborne opísal Líbyu, Kaddáfího a nezmyselnosť jeho snov i túžob.

Vypočujte si úryvok.

    This is the power that lasts from the utilization of carbs in your physique stored as glycogen primarily inside your
    liver and muscular tissues. Deadlift bars and squat bars are two of the most commonly used
    barbells in powerlifting competitions and power coaching.

    This prioritization scheme can even apply on an entire microcycle.

    Suppose you may have a 8-week coaching block
    to peak your deadlifts. Now, all lower-body exercises
    will include max deadlifts with occasional maintenance squats.

    If so, don’t marvel every time whether or not to
    do deadlifts earlier than or after squats. Your central nervous system employs relevant motor models (a conjunction of
    nerve cells and muscle fibers) to hold out contractions.

    Deadlifts and squats are efficient workout routines
    for gaining lower body energy. Each moves strengthen the muscles of
    the legs and glutes, but they activate barely completely different muscle groups.
    Whether Or Not the deadlift or squat is right for
    you is decided by your particular person fitness goals.
    If you may be new to strength training, the deadlift is an effective place to begin out.

    It is a relatively straightforward train to
    learn and may help you construct a strong foundation of energy.
    The deadlift overemphasizes the hamstrings, glutes,
    and decrease back muscle tissue. The hinge on the hip creates too far a distance from
    the resistance for these physique parts.
    One Other draw back of going heavy on your squats and deadlifts in speedy succession is the compounding pressure
    on your back. In each strikes, the lumbar spine wants a
    high diploma of stabilization. Consider it a weak hyperlink in the kinetic chain of
    drive switch. Wear a weightlifting belt at higher loads to cut back compressive forces and spinal injuries.

    Additionally, the sumo deadlift permits for higher load capacity compared
    to the sumo squat, as you possibly can sometimes carry extra weight
    due to the advantageous starting place and biomechanics.


    The placement of resistance, range of motion, and muscular tissues used to make them
    totally different movements for various outcomes. Neither movement is best,
    as they provide totally different results for various lifters.
    You should prioritize the deadlift or squat based on your wants and targets.
    If you should have stronger legs, larger legs, or
    higher athletic efficiency, you must prioritize the squat.
    If you wish to have a stronger back, stronger hips, and likewise wish to improve athletic efficiency, you want to prioritize the deadlift.

    The barbell squat is a widely used squat variation and some of the efficient exercises you can do.
    Squats, deadlifts, and bench presses are the three core lifts in powerlifting,
    which can be done competitively. It could appear to be something only advanced bodybuilders can do, but anyone can do a barbell squat.
    This additionally means that muscle recruitment is more intensive compared to the
    deadlift. During the squat exercises, not only the glutes
    and hamstrings are being focused. However also, the quadriceps that are
    important for constructing leg strength and assuring a greater
    high quality of life.
    We can’t say somehow if squats or deadlifts will work best for low back
    ache. Attempt them out with low weight (or no weight squats) to see how you
    tolerate the exercise. If it hurts, even slightly, stop immediately and don’t try this
    particular exercise again till you feel higher. Whereas deadlifting
    puts less direct pressure in your knees, there could additionally be some variations that work better.
    All of these items play a role in what a max weight is for sure folks.
    At the end of the day, we can’t definitively say whether
    deadlifts or squats can raise more weight.
    The motion includes a simple squat while lifting one leg up.
    You can maintain onto something whereas doing it as a result of you will want a good balance.
    The Squat and Deadlift are two movements which embody a lifter’s
    ability to develop power, energy and muscular hypertrophy.


    When performed often, it strengthens the lower back, glutes, hamstrings,
    and core. "Deadlifts are recognized to reinforce total muscle mass, enhance metabolism, and improve posture by participating a number of muscle teams," says Nagpaul.
    Additionally, deadlifts can enhance grip strength and stability, bettering steadiness and lowering the risk of damage.
    One of the principle advantages of selecting the sumo deadlift over the sumo squat is its potential for general energy and mass
    acquire. The sumo deadlift targets multiple muscle teams, together with the glutes, hamstrings, quads,
    and decrease again. By incorporating heavy sumo deadlifts into your training
    routine, you can stimulate significant muscle progress and enhance
    overall power.

    As you get extra specific with your deadlift training, shoes may be the distinction between a made carry and missing
    a high quality attempt. If you need further help selecting
    Weightlifting sneakers, please contact us. It’s also surprisingly plush,
    which some runners may discover a little too delicate and unsteady for technical
    terrain—it mutes ground really feel, making the trail experience a bit much less exact.
    And whereas the outsole is ok for dry or mostly dry trails, I can’t help however want for better traction through a Vibram outsole, like on Nike’s
    trail racer, the Ultrafly. Nonetheless, if you’re new to trail operating or already love the Pegasus on the
    street, this is a straightforward shoe to succeed in for.


    Function issues greater than style or model name when it
    comes to weightlifting shoes. You could want a pair that you need to use for a number of forms of weightlifting instead of only one.
    CrossFit involves a lot of working, leaping, climbing,
    and other movements that require agility and suppleness, which
    is the opposite of what weightlifting shoes do.
    So I can easily recommend the Velasa Strake as the most effective Olympic weightlifting footwear
    for girls who need the absolute best possibility.
    This bestseller has over 600 five-star evaluations, with consumers noting how
    steady and highly effective they feel once they do squats while carrying them.

    This is a extra efficient position for squats
    and basic weightlifting actions and can be safer by discouraging lumbar hyperextension (3).

    The greatest distinction between these and dearer sneakers
    is that the heel is manufactured from Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA).
    EVA isn’t as durable or rigid as TPU, but it’s still a strong material for weightlifting sneakers.

    With balanced assist, a contact of extra cushioning
    to take the edge off lengthy runs and a breathable upper to keep your toes cool, it’s an easy-to-wear choice for most runners.

    And, with 4 widths to select from, it’s designed to accommodate nearly any foot form.
    Christa Sgobba, SELF’s director of food and fitness, has worn Reebok Nanos for
    years. They’re reliable all-around gym sneakers that assist
    her really feel secure and in contact with the bottom while lifting,
    but don’t really feel overly clunky on the elliptical or exercise bike.
    With its responsive forefoot design, firm heel, and above all,
    improved match, the Nano X5 is the newest iteration of
    the fashion (and it may be the brand’s greatest so far).
    If you have slim toes, you might need to consider
    the Adidas Adipower Weightlifting three as a outcome of it presents a comfortable
    match that may assist forestall your heels from sliding round.
    Like the Adidas Powerlift 5, this shoe includes a strap throughout the highest to help safe your foot.

    Total, when buying weightlifting footwear, it’s important
    to assume about factors like fit, sole, heel, material, and worth to ensure you get the most effective product
    in your wants. By taking the time to analysis and choose the proper shoes, you'll have
    the ability to help enhance your performance and forestall injuries throughout your lifts.
    In many instances, the most effective weightlifting sneakers may help you practice proper type, carry heavier, and beat back accidents.
    The Total is a good option for the lifter who’s starting to dip their toe into getting more targeted on their deadlifts.
    They offer a large toe box, zero-drop development, and have a lower stack top than conventional trainers without going full barefoot
    shoe. HeelThe heel is probably the most distinguishing function of a weightlifting shoe, typically elevated around 16mm from the bottom, catering
    to various lifting kinds and body proportions.

    The majority of Nobull's sneakers are supposed for lifting or coaching,
    and so they even have lifting pairs with raised heels and working shoes.
    I tested the Outwork Edge shoe, which is designed to be used for both weightlifting and cross-training.
    I love premium merchandise that help me obtain my greatest, and
    in the case of weightlifting shoes, that is the Velaasa Strake.
    Their build, options, look, and wood heel are unbeatable by another mannequin at
    present available on the market. So, if you would like the core characteristics of a squat shoe and
    don’t want to spend the cash for premium weightlifting
    sneakers, the Powerlift is a superb possibility.

    To accommodate more width in the toe box, the front of the
    shoe could be very sq.. Which can actually contribute to a wider base, and in turn, more stability.

    Weightlifting footwear are essential as a result of they
    provide a stable base for lifting weights, enhance steadiness, and reduce the danger of injury.
    They additionally assist athletes keep proper
    form during lifts, allowing them to squat deeper and raise heavier weights.
    In The Meantime, barefoot lifting shoes have a wide toe field and versatile sole.
    And whereas some minimalist training sneakers have somewhat cushioning, many don't.
    All of these features enable your feet to work naturally, which
    can help strengthen the muscular tissues in your ft and decrease legs better than wearing conventional lifting sneakers.

    One advantage of the design is that the sneakers are available in a quantity of different colors.
    This is sweet, but it doesn’t make up for the overall bland feel and appear of the shoes.
    The Romaleos three comes with the identical selection of insoles as
    the second-generation sneakers. The Nike Romaleos 3 Olympic sneakers are the next
    technology of the Romaleos line. These sneakers are an up to date model of the
    sooner Romaleos 2, which proved super well-liked among strength
    athletes.
    Furthermore, wooden has been demonstrated to absorb some
    of the vitality and shock from weightlifting, making it a little gentler on the joints.

    With its distinctive high quality and iconic wooden heel,
    they outperform all other top manufacturers and fashions.
    Wood heels are troublesome to search out in modern weightlifting, as many manufacturers choose high-density plastic.
    The brand is so confident in the high quality and design of its area of interest
    'barefoot' footwear, that the label barely does any advertising at all.
    People who put on these say they hold up to extra abuse than footwear twice their weight,
    and may stay in nice condition it would not matter what you place them by way
    of. For wide-stance squats (where you don’t need a heel however need to be close to the floor),
    deadlifts, and bench press, Chuck Taylors have remained the
    king for many years.
    Contemplate the shoe’s higher construction as properly,
    because it ought to supply both breathability
    and assist. Footwear with mesh panels can provide ventilation,
    which is beneficial during lengthy exercises, while more rigid materials provide the necessary support.
    Ensure that the supplies used within the shoes can withstand the precise calls for of your lifting routine,
    providing both consolation and durability. If you begin to discover
    discomfort, instability, or a decline in your lifting performance, it could be an indication that your sneakers have
    lost their effectiveness and have to be changed.
    Moreover, the means in which the shoe is constructed seals the feet in tight and prevents them from
    moving and sliding in the shoe. Nike has made a bunch of updates
    to this shoe from the previous model. These include
    a redesign of the outsole development, the addition of a second
    strap, and a wider heel for further stability.

    We also appreciated the superb traction on these, as the footwear gripped the fitness center flooring
    really well, which made us feel further secure and confident while lifting.

    Finest for more skilled weightlifters seeking
    to enhance their squat performance or those with restricted ankle mobility who may use an elevated heel.
    Whereas performance is vital, we additionally assessed the design and how comfortable each shoe felt during long
    exercise classes. This included trying at the fit, supplies used, and general feel of the sneakers
    on the feet. Clients appreciate the sturdiness and traction of this shoe, notably during heavy lifting periods.

    This encourages engagement of the small muscle tissue of your foot
    and ankle to assist you generate extra power from the ground up.
    This shoe’s "traction pods" help prevent unwanted modifications in path or motion, and its flat, uncushioned
    base will increase your foot’s reference to the ground.
    Whereas the Matcontrol 2 is particularly designed for wrestling,
    the features that make it good for wrestling also translate to the weight room.

    If you typically find that you’re sliding around in weightlifting shoes or as
    if you can’t get them tight enough, I don’t suppose you’ll have these issues with the Nike Romaleos four.
    One Other factor to like in regards to the Romaleos 3 is its lacing and strap system.
    The system on this shoe supplies a nice safe base for heavy lifting,
    with out being too constricting on your feet — given that you don’t have very broad toes (more on that later).
    Similar to the premium weightlifting shoes, the Nike Romaleos
    3 comes with a large price ticket of $ + USD so the justification here for
    a lot of needs to be giant. The Nike Romaleos 3 is the third iteration of the favored Nike Romaleos weightlifting shoe line.

    I do wish Adidas would have included a second strap throughout the highest for added lockdown,
    although. The single strap is efficient the
    place positioned, but there may be some extra room for the tongue to slip round
    at instances. The non-gusseted make-up can require some adjustments during coaching, so be sure to pay consideration to
    your footwear earlier than lining up to hit these three white lights.
    The greatest weightlifting sneakers provide support
    however maintain your toes steady and grounded as you
    squat, deadlift, and more.
    At the identical time, they're snug and designed as multipurpose shoes for
    every kind of training. They have minimal cushioning and nil drop, that means you won’t
    lose any energy when doing energy cleans. But if you're severe about hitting new PRs or competing in Olympic Weightlifting, you want Weightlifting footwear.
    The Reebok Nano X3 is a good lightweight materials shoe with a softer cushion for maximal shock absorption when you need it.

    From outside coaching to coaching within the platform, these shoes are extremely
    versatile. Nonetheless, the twin strap system is a good function, especially at this worth point.
    The general support and structure of these sneakers is quite good,
    making them a contender for most lifting types.


    This is because that top presents the most flexibility to swimsuit a big
    selection of lifters. The slightly bigger .79″ benefits people who need some help to support a
    wide range of movement however don’t desire a full 1″.

    This elevated heel makes it simpler for you to stay
    steady and move effectively by way of your squat, snatch,
    and clear and jerk Olympic lifting.
    He Is logged coaching time with NFL athletes and observe athletes and his current training regimen consists of weight coaching, HIIT conditioning, and yoga.

    columnist for the Ny Every Day News. "Keep away from free knit high sneakers. These will allow foot motion backward and forward by inversion or eversion," says Otey.
    "Additionally, wear shoes that have a dense bottom, not necessarily thick. Simply as a end result of it is thicker doesn't suggest it's more supporting." The proper shoe
    will allow you to generate as a lot drive by way of the floor as attainable to find a way to
    decide up heavy weights.
    Vivobarefoot's minimalist shoe is the closest expertise
    to being barefoot throughout a workout session. Vivobarefoot's Primus Lite III was designed to be secure and flexible and for use for all exercises, including
    weightlifting. Many years ago once I bought my first pair of lifting sneakers, I selected an older model of Adidas
    Powerlift footwear. At the time, the pair I had was stiff and heavy, and the
    material didn't seem to be the most effective. This time around, I tested the Adidas Powerlift 5
    weightlifting footwear, and I Am joyful to report that they've improved in more methods than one.

    We measure all of those parameters in our lab to supply essentially the most in-depth look into every shoe's flexibility and
    stability levels. The optimum cushioning softness will range relying
    on your taste and the type of exercises you intend to do.
    The added cushioning within the Trainer+ provides extra impression protection for jumps and runs in addition to comfort for daily put
    on.
    They will hold the shoe's whole, and maintain you protected,
    for a really lengthy time should you use
    the shoes consistently. You might should work at maintaining the suede
    clear, but the Stingray will never let you down. It adds extra protection to your toe space,
    and also permits motion and provides durability.
    Lightweight and breathable, the Adipower 2 is
    great for these in search of comfort. The fastest approach to
    explain the difference between the two types of shoes is by showing our lateral stability tests below.

    For breathability, knit or mesh uppers are unbelievable decisions because they allow air to circulate freely.

    A permeable higher also helps lessen bacterial development and scale back foot odour.

    I took a better look at some of the best-selling athletic footwear and surveyed Forbes Vetted staffers to spherical up
    an assortment of one of the best men’s exercise sneakers that meet different needs.
    The most versatile shoe of the bunch is the Reebok Nano 2.zero, which earns
    high marks for its stability and spacious toe field.
    It’s an ideal possibility for weightlifting, HIIT exercises and cross-training alike.

    So, while lifting with out powerlifting footwear is doable, we don’t suggest
    it. Sporting a devoted lifting shoe can enhance your efficiency and cut back your danger of injury.
    While a unfastened fit can end result in instability throughout lifts, a decent match can impede blood flow and make you're feeling uncomfortable.

    General, the Reebok Legacy Lifter is an excellent alternative for serious weightlifters who worth comfort, support, and durability.
    This information will cowl everything you need to know about weightlifting footwear, together with their advantages, features, and how to choose on the right pair for your wants.
