The Enchanted Island of Yew

L. Frank Baum

A fairy has become bored with her life, and convinces some young girls to transform her into a human boy so she can go on fast and furious adventures.

He takes as a sidekick a dedicated masochist, which is just one of the ways the author keeps things interesting.

It is not an Oz book, though materials in it show a clear relationship and resemblance with Baums most famous fantasy country.

The End of the 19th Century

Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer

The End of the 19th Century A curse?... But only savages in pain  abuse their god that’s hiding in the air.  An irony?... but how can you compare  most dreadful scorns with every day’s disdain?    Contempt?... but only fools despise the weight  that is too heavy for their feeble arms.  Despair?... so hearing danger’s grim alarms  just like a scorpion we end our fate? [...] Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer Ur. 12 lutego 1865 w Ludźmierzu Zm. 18 stycznia 1940 w Warszawie Najważniejsze dzieła: Na Skalnym Podhalu (1910), Legenda Tatr (1912); wiersze: Eviva l'arte; Hymn do Nirwany; Koniec wieku XIX; Prometeusz; Lubię, kiedy kobieta; Widok ze Świnicy do Doliny Wierchcichej; Pieśń o Jaśku zbójniku; List Hanusi. Poeta, jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli polskiego modernizmu (Młodej Polski); spośród jego obfitej twórczości poetyckiej najistotniejsze dla historii literatury pozostają wiersze z drugiej (1894), trzeciej (1898) i czwartej (1900) serii Poezji, oddające ducha dziewiętnastowiecznego dekadentyzmu, pesymizmu egzystencjalnego, a także fascynacji myślą Schopenhauera i Nietzschego oraz mitologią i filozofią indyjską, które właściwe było pokoleniu Tetmajera, szczególnie młodopolskiej bohemie. Tetmajer zasłynął ponadto jako autor śmiałych erotyków, a także piewca górskiej przyrody Tatr i popularyzator folkloru podhalańskiego; pisał również dramaty (Zawisza Czarny, Rewolucja, Judasz), nowele i powieści (Ksiądz Piotr; Na Skalnym Podhalu; Legenda Tatr; Z wielkiego domu; Panna Mery). Był przyrodnim bratem Włodzimierza Tetmajera, stanowił prototyp postaci Poety z Wesela Wyspiańskiego. Jego ojciec, Adolf Tetmajer, brał udział w powstaniu listopadowym i styczniowym; matka, Julia Grabowska, należała do tzw. koła entuzjastek, literatek skupionych wokół Narcyzy Żmichowskiej. Podczas studiów na Wydziale Filozoficznym Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego (1884-1886) zaprzyjaźnił się z Lucjanem Rydlem, Stanisławem Estreicherem i Ferdynandem Hoesickiem. Zajmował się twórczością poetycką i pracą dziennikarską w "Kurierze Polskim" (współredaktor 1989--93), "Tygodniku Ilustrowanym", "Kurierze Warszawskim" i krakowskim "Czasie". Przez wiele lat pełnił funkcję sekretarza Adama Krasińskiego (wnuka Zygmunta, zajmującego się wydawaniem spuścizny autora Nie-Boskiej komedii) i w tej roli przebywał w Heidelbergu (1895). W czasie I wojny światowej był związany z legionami Piłsudskiego (redagował pismo "Praca Narodowa"); po wojnie wdał się w spór polsko-czechosłowacki o linię graniczną w Tatrach, był organizatorem Komitetu Obrony Spisza, Orawy i Podhala oraz prezesem Komitetu Obrony Kresów Południowych. W 1921 został prezesem Towarzystwa Literatów i Dziennikarzy Polskich, a w 1934 członkiem honorowym Polskiej Akademii Literatury. Drugą połowę życia poety naznaczyła choroba. Powikłania wywołane kiłą doprowadziły najpierw do zaburzeń psychicznych (które ujawniły się już podczas obchodów 25-lecia jego twórczości w 1912 r.), a w późniejszym czasie do utraty wzroku. Pod koniec życia Tetmajer egzystował dzięki ofiarności społecznej, umożliwiono mu mieszkanie w Hotelu Europejskim w Warszawie, skąd został eksmitowany w styczniu 1940 r. przez okupacyjne władze niemieckie. Zmarł w Szpitalu Dzieciątka Jezus z powodu nowotworu przysadki mózgowej oraz niewydolności krążenia. Jest pochowany na Cmentarzu Zasłużonych w Zakopanem; na warszawskich Powązkach znajduje się jego symboliczny grób.

The Essays

Michel de Montaigne

Montaignes The Essays is an unusual book, largely due to the authors attitude to it. This is an exclusively everyday book, suitable for everyday use, in which the author does not discuss how the world works and where everything goes, but discusses the essential: how to raise children, how to build a married life, how to spend leisure time, etc. At the same time, Montaigne does not have a very high opinion of himself, although he praises him for his non-commitment to excesses and the measuredness of being.
