Edgar Rice Burroughs
“Thuvia, Maid of Mars“ is a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, an American fiction writer, who created such great characters as Tarzan and John Carter of Mars. Thuvia, Maid of Mars is a science fantasy novel, the fourth of the Barsoom series. It features the characters of John Carter and Carter's wife Dejah Thoris. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the series is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Arthur Conan Doyle
Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i angielskiej. A dual Polish-English language edition. Sherlock Holmes wybiera się z wizytą do swojego brata, Mycrofta. Towarzyszy mu Doktor Watson bardzo chcący poznać brata swego przyjaciela. W Klubie Diogenesa okazuje się, że znajomy Mycrofta ma do rozwiązania zagadkę dla słynnego detektywa. Otóż poprzedniego dnia zamieszkały w Londynie grecki tłumacz nazwiskiem Melas został porwany przez niejakiego Harolda Latimera oraz Wilsona Kempa i wywieziony do domu położonego w nieustalonym miejscu, gdzie miał pośredniczyć w ważnej rozmowie porywaczy z pewnym Grekiem, jak się okazało przetrzymywanym tam wbrew swej woli. Pan Melas zorientował się, że porywacze w ogóle nie znają greckiego i w trakcie rozmowy z Grekiem (zakneblowanym i dającym odpowiedzi na piśmie) wymawiał z początku zbędne słowa, aż w końcu zaczął toczyć rozmowę o okolicznościach porwania.
