Reportaż
Krzysztof Toeplitz
Dzieło autora scenariusza do ikonicznego serialu Czterdziestolatek! ,,Hollywood nie jest miejscem na mapie - Hollywood to stan umysłu. () Ta nazwa stała się symbolem, oznaczającym kłębowisko ludzkich nadziei, namiętności, osiągnięć i dramatów, stała się symbolem amerykańskiego filmu i wszystkiego, co w dobrym i złym znaczeniu przyniosło światu to zjawisko. Sprawy, których dotyczą ,,Sensacje filmowe rozgrywają się w Hollywood czasów PRL-u i mają związek nie tylko z historią ,,fabryki snów, ale też karierą, życiem osobistym popularnych aktorów. Teoplitz z właściwym sobie wdziękiem przedstawia ważne fakty z dziejów Hollywood, okraszając je reporterskimi dygresjami na temat np. wystąpień publicznych Charliego Chaplina czy bandy Charlesa Mansona odpowiedzialnej za morderstwo w willi Polańskiego. Lektura przypadnie do gustu temu, kto interesuje się przemysłem filmowym w Hollywood i chciałby poznać ciekawe ploteczki o dawnych gwiazdach srebrnego ekranu.

Austen, Jane
A level 5 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. This version includes an audio book: listen to the story as you read. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West. Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense - or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you ever expect to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?

Siedem życzeń. Rozmowy o źródłach nadziei
Katarzyna Kasia, Grzegorz Markowski
Ta książka powstała z bezsilności, ale zaowocowała nadzieją. Od ośmiu lat świat przynosi nam kolejne powody do trosk, więc żeby zupełnie nie ulec smętnym nastrojom, zadaliśmy sobie proste pytania: Czego nam dzisiaj najbardziej brakuje? Czego chcielibyśmy dla siebie? Czego chcielibyśmy dla Polski? Tak powstała lista siedmiu życzeń: odwagi, przyszłości, niepodległości, śmiechu, spokoju, bogactwa i szacunku. O każdym z nich porozmawialiśmy z kimś wybitnym, kto zna temat od podszewki. Dzięki temu wiemy, co zrobić, żeby te życzenia się spełniły. A właściwie byśmy sami potrafili je sobie spełnić. Jeśli chcecie poczuć nadzieję, że wbrew temu, jak wygląda dziś, jutro może być lepsze, przeczytajcie siedem inspirujących rozmów na siedem uniwersalnych tematów. I zastanówcie się: Czego wy życzycie Polsce? Agnieszka Holland o odwadze Szymon Malinowski o przyszłości Jarosław Kuisz o niepodległości Dorota Masłowska o śmiechu Andrzej Leder o spokoju Joanna Tyrowicz o bogactwie Jurek Owsiak o szacunku Polacy bardzo lubią narzekać z byle jakich powodów, ale ostatnio również tych poważnych mamy niepokojąco dużo. Ta książka proponuje zmianę trybu myślenia. Zgoda, jest źle. Ale co można zrobić, żeby było lepiej i żebyśmy mogli znowu narzekać wyłącznie z błahych powodów? Arcyciekawi rozmówcy i rozmówczynie Katarzyny Kasi i Grzegorza Markowskiego mają swoje życzenia dla nas wszystkich. A jakie są Wasze? Michał Rusinek Katarzyna Kasia i Grzegorz Markowski doktorka i redaktor, wspólnie prowadzą Szkło kontaktowe w TVN24 oraz spektakularne poranki w Radiu Nowy Świat. Są współautorami podcastu Bardzo Bardzo Serio.
