Przygodowa
Jack London
Books about the future are always interesting to read in order to reflect on what may await us if we do not take certain actions. Usually we imagine that in many years science and technology will reach a new level, people will become more and more developed both physically and mentally, but Jack London in his novel shows a completely different world in which there is no science, medicine is replaced by quackery, and people become worse and worse, gradually sinking morally. Mockery and ridicule of anyone is now normal entertainment for them, their vocabulary is very limited, and their knowledge is scarce.
The Sea Lions. The Lost Sealers
James Fenimore Cooper
This is a gripping maritime story about two whaling ships on a long and cold journey to the shores of Antarctica in search of dangerous goods. Two Sea Lions two ships, two captains, two crews!

And only the scarlet blood of whales, majestic animals, mixes with the white waves of the ocean in the silence of snowy cliffs.

Max Brand

Packed with enough action and romance to please even the most die-hard fans of the genre, the novel also addresses a wide range of important themes with insight and sensitivity. This novel by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as "Whistling Dan". Its also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. "The Untamed" is the third part of a trilogy about a mysterious gunslinger who appears to be a Casper Milquetoaste but, in concert with a powerful wolf-dog, and a murderous stallion; is able to overpower seemingly any opposing force.
Robert E. Howard
So thay brought the envoys, pallid from months of imprisonment, before the canopied throne of Suleyman the Magnificent, Sultan of Turkey, and the mightiest monarch in an age of mighty monarchs. Under the great purple dome of the royal chamber gleamed the throne before which the world trembled gold-paneled, pearl-inlaid. An emperors wealth in gems was sewn into the silken canopy from which depended a shimmering string of pearls ending a frieze of emeralds which hung like a halo of glory above Suleymans head.
Joseph Conrad
This book is about a young captain who is hastily given his first command of a ghost ship. Its about a first mate who will lose his mind to madness as the malaria sickness spreads without medicine. This book is about a calm sea with not a sigh of a wind to move the ship. The Shadow Line by Joseph Conrad describes that demarcation line in the journey of life that divides the happy, bright, fantastic and irresponsible youth with the darker ages of manhood. Conrad goes on to delineate this vision as being beyond the charm and innocence of illusions. It isnt an elaborate story, but one that explores that moment, that shadow-line between youth and adulthood. It is a story about maturity, wisdom, experience. And, even though Conrad himself tells us this story is not about the supernatural, a curse and the first captain who died before Conrad took command, tells us otherwise.
Hal G. Evarts
Arapaho Gilroy, who was briefly loved to call Rapaho Hill. He was known by many. He was known wherever there were Indians of any tribe or white people with many years of experience to the West. Arpakho, to some extent, was a real robber. He ran across adventures everywhere. For such a hero is interesting to watch.
