Agent policyjny. Z papierów po Hektorze Blau
Kazimierz Laskowski
Agent policyjny Kazimierza Laskowskiego nie jest typowym kryminałem, mimo iż zaczyna się od znalezienia zwłok. Zamordowanym mężczyzną jest słynny warszawskie komisarz policji Hektor Blau. Zwłoki komisarza ubranego w stalową koszulę (kamizelkę kuloodporną) zostają wyłowione z Wisły...

W samym sercu Rijadu, stolicy Arabii Saudyjskiej, dochodzi do serii zamachów terrorystycznych, za które odpowiedzialność przejmuje rzekoma komórka Al-Kaidy. Jednak prawda jest znacznie bardziej skomplikowana. Za kulisami tych wydarzeń kryje się mroczny spisek, który sięga najwyższych szczebli władzy rodziny królewskiej. Sytuację dodatkowo zaognia tajny sojusz irańskiego i rosyjskiego wywiadu, który ma na celu zdestabilizowanie globalnego rynku ropy. Tymczasem do oficera polskiego wywiadu, Aleksa Niwińskiego, zgłasza się rosyjski dyplomata z propozycją niebezpiecznej współpracy. Niwiński musi rozwikłać intrygę, która obejmuje podejrzane działania polskiego ambasadora, zniknięcie żony szefa placówki oraz zapobiec ujawnieniu polskich tajemnic. Czy to prowokacja SWR? A może część większego, przemyślanego planu wywiadu irańskiego? Jaką rolę w tym wszystkim odgrywa piękna i tajemnicza krewna żony ambasadora?
Maurice Maeterlinck
„Aglawena i Selizetta” to piękny dramat Maurice’a Maeterlincka, laureata Nagrody Nobla w dziedzinie literatury oraz czołowego przedstawiciela symbolizmu. „Niema jeszcze tygodnia, jak razem żyjemy pod tym dachem, a mnie trudno uwierzyć, żeśmy nie w jednej kołysce zrodzeni. I zdaje mi się, że nigdy jeszcze nie byliśmy rozłączeni i że cię znałem już, zanim poznałem siebie. Wszystko w tobie zdaje mi się wyprzedzać to, czem jestem; więcej, niż własną, czuję twoją duszę i bliższą mi jesteś, niż wszystko, co jest mną samym; gdyby mi powiedziano: „musisz ocalić swe życie”, abym mógł żyć, musiałbym twoje ocalić…” Fragment
