Clemenceau. Wizjoner znad Sekwany

Jean-Noël Jeanneney

Clemenceau był wybitnym reprezentantem Francji, klasycznym radykałem i republikaninem, ale także klasycznym „postępowcem”, jakich dzisiaj już nie ma. Nikt już aż tak nie wierzy w zbawczą rolę rozwoju cywilizacji i w nieuchronność postępu. Georges Clemenceau był wybitnym francuskim politykiem i znakomitym dziennikarzem. Zawsze na lewo od centrum, zawsze pragmatyczny, a w związku z tym nie szukał wyrazistej ideologii i filozofia polityki mało go interesowała. Zarzucano mu zarówno nadmierną skłonność do kompromisu czy wręcz oportunizmu, jak i nadużywanie słów i przykładanie nadmiernego znaczenia do spraw, którym się już raz poświęcił. Nie można powiedzieć, by miał złe zdanie na swój temat i by cechował go brak pewności siebie, co ujawni się pod koniec jego długiego życia, podczas obrad pokojowych w Paryżu na początku 1919 roku. Jednak dla czytelnika polskiego interesujące jest przede wszystkim, że historia życia Clemenceau pozwala nam lepiej zrozumieć Francję, której — jak się okaże — nie znamy i która miała i ma bardzo szczególne nastawienie do wielu problemów politycznych i społecznych. Clemenceau był wybitnym reprezentantem Francji, klasycznym radykałem i republikaninem, ale także klasycznym „postępowcem”, jakich dzisiaj już nie ma. Nikt już aż tak nie wierzy w zbawczą rolę rozwoju cywilizacji i w nieuchronność postępu. Postawę Clemenceau dobrze zobaczymy na przykładzie jego zaangażowania w sprawy kolonialne. Był w tym zakresie otwarty, liberalny, postępowy i wyjątkowo, jak na ówczesne czasy, wrażliwy na złe strony „globalizacji”. Ze wstępu Marcina Króla  

Cleopatra

Georg Ebers, Mary J. Safford

Two lovers, Antony and Cleopatra want to be together despite everything. But it can not be so simple. The hero may die to be buried next to the woman he loved until the last hour. His desire was fulfilled, and love, as it turned out, never dies.

Cleopatra. Being an Account of the Fall and Vengeance of Harmachis

The line of the dynasty defended by the priesthood of Isis is trying to survive in difficult circumstances. The main character Harmachis must overthrow Cleopatra, banish the Romans and return to Egypt its former status.

Climax. Punkt kulminacyjny

Thomas B. Reverdy

To historia, która jeszcze się nie zdarzyła, choć nie fantastyka. W tej intrygującej powieści sensacyjnej czytelnik znajdzie fragmenty trzymającego w napięciu thrillera i poczuje dynamikę świetnie napisanego reportażu. Wioska rybacka z niskimi kolorowymi domami, usytuowana w cieśninie morskiej na dalekiej północy Norwegii. To tam się wszystko zaczęło: wybuch na platformie wiertniczej po drugiej stronie kanału, pęknięcie, które poważnie zagraża lodowcowi, martwe ryby. A jeśli to wszystko się ze sobą łączy? Noah, inżynier geolog pochodzący z wioski przy fiordach, gdzie miał miejsce wypadek, powraca w rodzinne strony z misją. Spotyka Anę, swoją dawną miłość, i przyjaciół z młodości, z którymi grał w gry RPG. Wtedy nosił imię Sigurd. Tak samo nazywa się przeklęta platforma
