A Sleeping Memory

E. Phillips Oppenheim

Why not destroy someones memory in the hope that they will remember past lives. It turned out that this is a reverse scenario of Pygmalion. He fell in love with the girl and then destroyed her. I like the idea that a person is a common set of his experiences and experiences, but if they are erased, the person who is left will be completely different. Probably one of the best opengame stories.

A Smile of Fortune

One of the brothers, Ernest, is an assimilated citizen. He owes a lot of money, has parties, has taste and manners, and is trusted.

A Son of His Father

Harold Bell Wright

When in 1925 his first novel The Son of His Father was published at the Chicago publishing house, then its circulation took twenty-seven freight cars. The Son of His Father was made near the Oracle, and his first show was in Tucson. A great adventure in the desert and mountain world of Arizona and the Mexican border. Adventure lovers will amuse by this novel.

A Son of the Stars

Fenton Ash

As may be imagined from the title, Mr. Fenton Ashs book does not lack for marvelous adventure. A Son of the Stars novel is a complete rewrite of Fenton Ashs earlier novel A Trip to Mars. An exciting science fiction adventure, in which two heroes journey on a trip to Mars, where they have various adventures. In A Son of the Stars the heroes, who bear the names Gerald Wilton and Jack Lawford in A Trip to Mars, are called Bruce Mortimer and Maurice Somers. The names of other characters have also been changed, and there are major plot differences between the two works. All in all, they differ sufficiently to merit their classification as two separate novels. Highly recommended!

A Sonnet (One Heart)

Adam Asnyk

A Sonnet (One Heart) One heart, one heart is all I’m dreaming of  One heart upon this sullen earth I seek.  A heart to tremble with my heart in love,  So that I be a meek one mid the meek.    One pair of lips, wherefrom my lips for aye  Would drink the drink of joy with no constraints.  Two eyes that I could marvel at each day,  And see myself a saint among the saints.    One heart I need, two hands both soft and white  To veil my eyes and gently bar the light,  So I may fall asleep and by a touch    Of an angel’s cheek be carried to the sky.  One heart, one heart, so little though need I,  I see and know that I demand too much.    [...]Adam AsnykUr. 11 listopada 1838 r. w Kaliszu Zm. 2 sierpnia 1897 r. w Krakowie Najważniejsze dzieła: Pijąc Falerno, Piosnka pijacka, Między nami nic nie było, Gdybym był młodszy, Jednego serca..., Nad głębiami (cykl sonetów), Daremne żale, Do młodych Poeta, epigon romantyzmu tworzący w epoce pozytywizmu i Młodej Polski, autor dramatów i opowiadań.
