Sketches of Young Couples

Charles Dickens

Sketches of Young Couples is similarly a relatively early and short work by Charles Dickens in which he outlines in a humorous and vaguely satirical way various types of couples (young, old and matured) in society under different subjects describing their actions, thoughts and decisions as couple. These subjects are chosen as a moral essay to raise the awareness and information in young couple for coming generation of both sexes. As always, Dickens scatterings of humor help make it an enjoyable read. Its mainly an exercise in characterization, but each little chapter reads like a story, or part of a story. These satirical portraits, specially timed to Queen Victorias 1839 engagement to the future Prince Albert, not only reveal the dazzling brilliance of young Dickenss genius, but also offer a humorous glimpse into Victorian mores and attitudes.

Poezje. Wybór

Bolesław Leśmian

W życiu Leśmiana nie było ani skandali, ani wielkich manifestów tak charakterystycznych dla Młodej Polski i dwudziestolecia międzywojennego. Twórczość poety ucieka od wpływu historii. Realizuje się raczej w wymiarach filozoficzno-metafizycznym i psychologicznym. Leśmian czerpał z twórczości baroku, romantyzmu i Młodej Polski. Inspirowało go wszystko to, co mistyczne, duchowe i co głęboko powiązane z Naturą oraz Bogiem. W swej poezji twórca wskrzesił świat fantastyczny. W tej ucieczce od rzeczywistości można doszukać się buntu, szczególnie względem nudnego, stereotypowego mieszczaństwa. Leśmian czuł niechęć do ludzi biernych, przeciętnych. Ideałem dlań był wolny i niezależny człowiek renesansu. Poeta często odwoływał się także do symbolizmu, przez co jego poezja uznawana jest za poezję filozoficzną.

The Wrong Box

Robert Louis Stevenson, Lloyd Osbourne

Adventure awaits the heroes of the story Absolute Baggage too, but of a completely different kind rather funny than dangerous. The book has a certain charm, which cannot but rejoice. After all, she was read thanks to this rather vividly and with great interest. In the preface and annotation, however, it is said that the novel is full of humor. In principle, this is so, but the humor is quite specific.
