Inne
Wilkie Collins
Often considered one of the first mystery novels, The Woman In White follows protagonist Walter Hartright, an art teacher, as he has a mysterious late night encounter on a London street with a lost woman, dressed all in white, who he later finds out had escaped from an asylum. The figure of this woman and the words they exchanged during their meeting come to haunt Walter, even as he accepts a job at Limmeridge House outside of London to instruct heiress Laura Farlie in art. Walter soon recognizes the astonishing resemblance between Laura and The Woman In White, and finds out that the mystery woman also used to live near Limmeridge and has connections to the Farlie family. A tragic, haunting tale about mistaken identities, unbelievable selfishness and cruelty, bust also true love and persevering friendship. A true classic.

Timarion albo Timariona przypadki przez niego opowiedziane
oprac. Przemysław Marciniak, Katarzyna Warcaba
Timarion to anonimowa dwunastowieczna bizantyńska satyra opowiadająca o podróży tytułowego bohatera do Hadesu. Timarion, straciwszy w wyniku choroby jeden z czterech płynów, niezbędnych według Hippokratesa do życia, niesłusznie zostaje uznany za zmarłego. W wyniku złożonej apelacji, podziemni sędziowie uznają go za żywego i odsyłają na ziemię. Tekst satyryzuje dwunastowiecznych intelektualistów, bizantyńskie sądy, wiarę w antyczne teorie medyczne, wykorzystując do tego cały arsenał cytatów, nawiązań i motywów zaczerpniętych z literatury antycznej. Tłumaczenie zostało poprzedzone obszernym wstępem i opatrzone przypisami, których celem jest przybliżenie Czytelnikowi realiów dwunastowiecznego Konstantynopola. W wersji elektronicznej poprawki z erraty zostały wprowadzone do tekstu. Artykuł o książce ukazał się w czasopiśmie „Gazeta Uniwersytecka UŚ” nr 8 (228) maj 2015, s. 14–15 (Maria Sztuka: Mistrzowie czy naśladowcy)
