Arthur Conan Doyle

Akcja rozpoczyna się w domu przy Baker Street, gdzie Sherlock Holmes przyjmuje nowego klienta jest nim dziedziczny król Czech, Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein. Oświadcza, iż jakiś czas temu miał on przelotny romans z pewną piękną i jednocześnie bardzo przebiegłą kobietą, Ireną Adler, urodzoną w New Jersey primadonną Opery Warszawskiej. Kobieta uznała ich związek za poważny i sądziła, że wezmą ślub. Jednak Irena nie mogła być królową, ponieważ nie wywodziła się z rodziny arystokratycznej. Gdy ona i król rozstali się, zaczęła grozić byłemu kochankowi, że wyśle ich wspólne zdjęcie fotograficzne w dniu zaręczyn jego przyszłej żonie, pochodzącej ze skandynawskiej rodziny królewskiej. W obawie przed skandalem władca, obiecując nagrodę, prosi Holmesa o odnalezienie zdjęcia i wykradzenie go Adler. Wcześniej wiele razy już przeszukiwano jej dom, jednak fotografii nie znaleziono.

Skórzany lejek. The Leather Funnel
Arthur Conan Doyle
Skórzany lejek to krótka, raczej upiorna opowieść, która koncentruje się na wizji snu, która nawiązuje do czasów, w tym przypadku do XVII wieku, kiedy ludzi torturowano przy pomocy najbardziej wyszukanych metod. Jak można się spodziewać, jest to bardzo dobrze napisana i interesująca opowieść jakby gotycka wersja niesławnego historycznego przypadku markiza de Brinvillliersa. Historia opowiadała o gościu, który odwiedził dom angielskiego kolekcjonera niezwykłych przedmiotów. W pokoju, w którym miał spędzić noc, znajdowała się biblioteka wypełniona zatęchłymi książkami oraz kominek z żarem połyskującym w mroku. Anglik poprosił swojego gościa o udział w eksperymencie po uprzednim wyjaśnieniu, że wyznaje pogląd, że sny mogą być bardzo odkrywcze i nie należy ich lekceważyć. Następnie pokazał gościowi średniowieczny, skórzany lejek, a dwaj mężczyźni spekulowali na temat jego użycia i pochodzenia, badając uważnie czubek lejka, który wydawał się być pocięty. A co było dalej czytelnik dowie się po lekturze opowiadania. Zachęcamy!

Some Renaissance/ Early Modern Topoi in the Twenty First Century
Krystyna Kujawińska Courtney, Grzegorz Zinkiewicz
This collection of essays is in part the result of an international research project “Revisiting the Renaissance: Poland and the Low Countries in Early Modern Europe – The Culture of Self-Deception”, which was carried out by the British and Commonwealth Department of the University of Lodz in Poland and the Vakgroep Nederlandse Literatur en Alegemene Literatuuretenschap of the University of Ghent in Belgium (2009–2012). The goal of this project was to validate the ongoing debate on the Renaissance by looking at its significance in European civilization through the prism of marginalized cultures. As the essays presented in this volume demonstrate, the scope of our interest has grown over time so that issues such as literature, religion, diplomacy, politics, and arts are seen not only from Polish and Netherland perspectives. This book is a unique publication on the sixteenth-seventeenth European culture, politics and societal studies. Although the book is primarily addressed to scholars and academics who study the Renaissance / Early Modern episteme, it can also attract the attention of many other circles of readers interested in an interdisciplinary discourse devoted to e.g. governance, theology, religion, politics, diplomacy and literature. Since the essays focus on facts, processes, texts and state formations, which do not generally belong to the general discourse, they pose a challenge to the conventional perception of the period under discussion.

Sinclair Lewis
“Speed” is a book by Sinclair Lewis an American writer. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. “Speed” is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. “Out in the road were two new automobile tires, and cans of gasoline, oil, water. The hose of a pressure air-pump stretched across the cement sidewalk, and beside it was an air-gauge in a new chamois case. Across the street a restaurant was glaring with unshaded electric lights; and a fluffy-haired, pert-nose girl alternately ran to the window and returned to look after the food she was keeping warm. The president of the local motor club, who was also owner of the chief garage, kept stuttering to a young man in brown union overalls, “Now be all ready — for land’s sake, be ready. Remember, gotta change those casings in three minutes.” They were awaiting a romantic event — the smashing of the cross-continent road-record by a Mallard car driven by J. T. Buffum.” Preview.
