Max Brand
Hawks and Eagles is the authors classic. The brand is a great storyteller who shows his enthusiasm for humans and animals, such characters as a professor, a small dog, and Mole. Joe Good, the protagonist, hes twenty years old. His father was killed by the richest man in the city, because he wants a good ranch not to be. A good, lazy, prickly guy who lacks a sense of respect and respect for everyone in the city. The only thing he can do is to handle a whip with such skill that he becomes almost alive. This story is also a story of the growth of kindness to become the most respected person in his community.
Robert E. Howard
Hawks of Outremer is a tight tale. The main character is Cormac FitzGeoffrey, a bastard Norman-Gael who has thrown his lot in with the Crusaders. Once a loose peace was established in Outremer, Cormac returned to Ireland but after a short stint fighting, peace broke out there, too. Cormac returns to the Holy Land (Outremer) seeking to attach himself to a liege, only to learn that his liege of choice has been assassinated. Plots are afoot between Muslims and Christian lords who want nothing to do with Saladin nor European kings. Rather than jeopardize the peace with an armed force, FitzGeoffrey vows vengeance and embarks solo to deal death to those who deserve it.
Harold Bindloss
In the fashion of the high prairie, romance and trust are acquired, lost, destroyed and acquired again... Sketchy mortgages and vague speculations will make us guess. The main character goes on a strange sea adventure to stop thinking about unhappy love. This is a story about a love triangle with unusual plot twists.
B.M. Bower
The plot of "Hay-Wire" is centering around a family ranch and settled town. Lynn Hayward is bitter and frustrated over the way his familys ranch has fallen into disrepair through his vicious-tempered invalid fathers stinginess and willful neglect. Lynn reaches the pitch of resentment when he discovers that an apparently penniless old prospector, whos been taking gifts and favors from the Haywards for years, is actually concealing a fortune in his cabin. Bowers portrayal of Lynns struggles and gradual maturation, and of the tension and discord in his family, is convincing and compelling. One of many recommended Westerns by this prolific author.
Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness, the novella by Joseph Conrad, is essentially a multi-layered narrative. The Narrator describes a night spent on a ship in the mouth of the Thames River in England. Marlow, one of the men on board, tells of his time spent as a riverboat pilot in the Belgian Congo. On the surface it is the adventurous story of Marlows search for Kurtz, who for him is a living legend. On one hand it is also a peek into the unconscious of man where darkness resides silently, and on the other, it also brings to mind the glimpses of Dantes Inferno i.e. the descent to hell. In a very powerful manner, Conrad lays before us the story evoking subjective impressions, as the characters of his story are obscure and their tales are only half-told. Be it Kurtz, Marlow or his native help. Masterly blend of adventure, character development, psychological penetration. Considered by many Conrads finest, most enigmatic story.

Juliusz Verne
Wyrusz w niezwykłą kosmiczną podróż z kapitanem Hektorem Servadacem w jednej z najbardziej oryginalnych powieści Juliusza Verne'a! Gdy tajemnicza kometa zahacza o Ziemię, zabierając ze sobą fragment Morza Śródziemnego wraz z jego mieszkańcami, rozpoczyna się fascynująca odyseja przez Układ Słoneczny. Bohaterowie - francuscy oficerowie, hiszpański arystokrata, rosyjscy żołnierze i żydowski kupiec - muszą zjednoczyć siły, by przetrwać na powierzchni komety Gallia w ekstremalnych warunkach kosmicznej podróży. Verne z charakterystyczną dla siebie naukową precyzją i nieokiełznaną wyobraźnią kreśli obraz międzynarodowej społeczności walczącej o przetrwanie, wykorzystując astronomiczne zjawiska i fizykę orbitalną do stworzenia fascynującej przygody. Ta wciągająca powieść łącząca elementy science fiction, awanturniczej przygody i komedii obyczajowej, stanowi doskonały przykład wizjonerstwa autora "20 000 mil podmorskiej żeglugi", który z niezwykłą intuicją przewidział wiele aspektów kosmicznych misji na długo przed początkiem ery podboju kosmosu.
B.M. Bower
Eastern society girl Beatrice Lansell, on a visit to her brothers Montana ranch, is being pressured by her social-climbing mother to accept her English nobleman suitor, Sir Redmond Hayes. She fills her days with coquetry, leisure and meaningless flirtations, but she has never found true love. The staunchly independent Beatrice finds herself equally annoyed and attracted by mysterious cowboy Keith Cameron. Will this improbable romance last? Theres plenty of conflict as corporations start buying up the free range, plenty of excitement and danger from the elements and criminals, and of course, plenty of romance as a New York socialite and a ruggedly noble cowpuncher fall in love.
Talbot Mundy
There are hours of promises, and zero hour; promises initially, which are sometimes even sweeter than their execution. Jacqueline Lanier did not fully realize the time of heyday, and therefore contours of young charm were not tempered by the usual self-affirmation. Therefore, when she was under the care of Desmoe, she knew that between the emotions of gratitude, the philosophy that comes later in life when we are forced to try to explain their mistakes is not very accessible.
Herrn Mahlhubers Reiseabenteuer
Friedrich Gerstäcker

H. Rider Haggard

Sara Jeannette Duncan

Max Brand
Bad News for Bad Men is an excellent classic story by the incomparable Max Brand (Frederick Faust). Great read with Maxs leading off to unexpected places with characters you come to know personally. Max leads the reader to characters bigger than life, they come to life as people we wish we knew personally. People who deal with life by taking an active part instead of just observing as it passes by. Brand along with Zane Grey and Louis LAmour form the holy trinity of western writers. If youve read the other two and not Brand, then youre not experiencing everything the western can be. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre!

One of many recommended westerns by this prolific author. Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 May 12, 1944) was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary westerns under the pen name Max Brand. In this short story told in the first person, Leon Porfilo, an outlaw of poor beginnings and lowly ancestry, goes up against Jeffrey Dinsmore, a gentleman outlaw born of the privileged class, in an attempt to clear his name and gain a pardon. In His Fight for a Pardon Max Brand depicts the power of the press to shape public opinion. Experience the West as only Max Brand could write it!
