Four Branches of the Mabinogi. Translated by Lady Charlotte Guest Prastare celtyckie sagi (walijskie). Jest to pierwszy pełny polski przekład oryginalnego tekstu pierwszej części Mabinogionu. Mabinogion. Cztery gałęzie Mabinogi zawierający cztery opowieści to pierwsza część cyklu walijskich sag. Sagi te powstały głównie w średniowieczu (a jak sugeruje ich treść, częściowo sięgają także do tradycji epoki żelaza). Tytuł Mabinogion nadała zbiorowi jego pierwsza tłumaczka na język angielski lady Charlotte Guest w roku 1849. Znaczenie i pochodzenie walijskiego słowa mabinogi nie jest znane do dziś. Pełny cykl Mabinogionu został zapisany w dwóch średniowiecznych rękopisach znanych jako Biała Księga z Rhydderch (w języku walijskim Llyfr Gwyn Rhydderch) z roku około 1350 i Czerwona Księga z Hergest (po walijsku Llyfr Coch Hergest) datowana na lata 13821410. Oprócz tego fragmenty poszczególnych opowiadań znane są także z innych źródeł datowanych na wiek XIII. Uważa się jednak, że pierwotnie powstały między rokiem 1000 a 1110. Mabinogion oraz sagi irlandzkie dostarczają nam informacji na temat staroceltyckich bogów, wierzeń i obyczajów. The Mabinogion (Welsh pronunciation: [mabnjn]) is the title given to a collection of eleven prose stories collated from medieval Welsh manuscripts. The tales draw on pre-Christian Celtic mythology, international folktale motifs, and early medieval historical traditions. While some details may hark back to older Iron Age traditions, each of these tales is the product of a highly developed medieval Welsh narrative tradition, both oral and written. Lady Charlotte Guest in the mid 19th century was the first to publish English translations of the collection, popularising the name ""Mabinogion"" at the same time.

Man and Superman is a four-act drama written by George Bernard Shaw. The series was written in response to a call for Shaw to write a play based on the Don Juan theme. Mr. Whitefield has recently died, and his will indicates that his daughter Ann should be left in the care of two men, Roebuck Ramsden and John Tanner. Ramsden, a venerable old man, distrusts John Tanner, an eloquent youth with revolutionary ideas, whom Shaw's stage directions describe as "prodigiously fluent of speech, restless, excitable (mark the snorting nostril and the restless blue eye, just the thirty-secondth of an inch too wide open), possibly a little mad". In spite of what Ramsden says, Ann accepts Tanner as her guardian, though Tanner doesn't want the position at all.
Jack London
“Martin Eden” is a book by Jack London, an American novelist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. Martin Eden is a 1909 novel by American author Jack London about a young proletarian autodidact struggling to become a writer. Living in Oakland at the beginning of the 20th century, Martin Eden struggles to rise above his destitute, proletarian circumstances through an intense and passionate pursuit of self-education, hoping to achieve a place among the literary elite. His principal motivation is his love for Ruth Morse. Because Eden is a rough, uneducated sailor from a working-class background and the Morses are a bourgeois family, a union between them would be impossible unless and until he reached their level of wealth and refinement.
