Anna Sokalska
Iga, menadżerka w korporacji, niespodziewanie musi przerwać karierę, aby ratować zdrowie. Szukając odpoczynku, wyjeżdża na wieś, gdzie poznaje Nadzieję, ekscentryczną właścicielkę gospodarstwa Pomiędzy. Wkrótce, pozornie monotonne życie młodej gospodyni, uważanej przez lokalną społeczność za znachorkę lub dziwaczkę, okazuje się splotem kolejnych tajemnic, a rosnący za chałupą las przedsionkiem nieznanego świata. Niepokojące incydenty, rodzinne sekrety, widmo tęsknicy i walka o utraconą duszę wciągają Igę w sam środek ludowych obrzędów i dawnych wierzeń. Tęsknica to baśń dla dorosłych inspirowana pięknem wsi, estetyką polskiej kultury ludowej oraz motywami występującymi w tradycyjnych polskich bajkach i baśniach. Jest także opowieścią na cześć natury i kobiecości, ale i refleksją nad destrukcyjną siłą tych z marzeń, które wymykają się spod kontroli.
The Adventures of Solomon Kane
Robert E. Howard
Before Robert E. Howard wrote of Conan the Cimmerian, he wrote of the swashbuckler Solomon Kane. The Adventures of Solomon Kane takes you through Howards horrific and fantastic world of swords and sorcery, the world of ancient secrets and the monsters that live in the jungles of Africa where Kane vanquishes evil. Here are shudder-inducing tales of vengeful ghosts and bloodthirsty demons, of dark sorceries wielded by evil men and women, all opposed by a grim avenger armed with a fanatics faith and a warriors savage heart. Whether it be a witch-cursed monstrosity, hell-spawned vampire, mutant throw-back, or just a wicked wretch of humankind, Solomon Kane will fight with equal determination and enthusiasm to see good triumph. Collected in this volume are all of the stories and poems that make up the thrilling saga of the dour and deadly Puritan, Solomon Kane.
