Katherine Christine

Hugh Walpole

Nicholas Harris, his father, and Rosamund Harris, his mother, looked at him with love and pride. Nicholas, a huge man, was 1603 fifty-nine years old this year, and his wife thirty-seven. They were in their own house in Westminster, and everything was fine with them. Robert, their only child, was three years old. He was wide and well-built, but not tall, his strong legs lay firmly on the ground, his round head sat well on his thick neck, his eyes were steady and piercing. He was still a child, but already had self-confidence and independence. Now he was a serious child: he only laughed when his father was at hand.

Puszcza jodłowa

Stefan Żeromski

Głównym bohaterem utworu Puszcza jodłowa jest narrator, a zarazem port parole samego autora. Narrator snuje wspomnienia dotyczące dzieciństwa. Wychowywał się na Kielecczyźnie. Wspomina góry, po których chodził za młodu: Łysicę, Klonową, Kamień. Wspomina młodość jako życie niewinne, czyste w swej prostocie. Aż dochodzi do wniosku, że on sprzed lat to nie ten sam człowiek co dzisiaj. Dawne czasy i natura, która wspomina, jawią mu się niczym baśń.

Ulysses

James Joyce

Probably one of the most complicated books ever written, the story parallels Homers The Odyssey, and touches on every theme that exists, as well as explores every literary style that exists. At times, it has extremely lude and graphic sexual content and very foul language. Taking Homers Odyssey as a structural framework, Joyce builds on it a complex narrative of Dublin characters on one day Thursday 16 June 1904. Each chapter features a different prose-style to match its theme or subject. One chapter is even written in a manner which traces the history of English prose, from the Renaissance to modern advertising jargon.This includes the famous final chapter which is an unpunctuated eighty page soliloquy of Molly Bloom as she lies in bed at night, thinking over her life and the events of the previous day. Ulysses is a cornerstone of modern English Literature written by an Irishman in Trieste, Zurich, and Paris.

The Circular Study

Anna Katharine Green

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935), known as the Mother of the Detective Novel, is one of the first American writers of detective fiction. She was recognized for realism and well plotted story of her mystery stories. A tale of two families, betrayal, revenge, and murder, The Circular Story, written in 1902, is still an absorbing and notable work. We highly recommend this book to fans of classic detective fiction!

Twenty Years After

Alexandre Dumas

Anyone old enough to have friends they havent seen for many years knows how difficult it can be to get everyone together again. And when you do, its never quite the same. Thats the theme of Twenty Years After (1845), Alexandre Dumass sequel to The Three Musketeers that is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure. This story follows events in France during La Fronde, during the childhood reign of Louis XIV, and in England near the end of the English Civil War, leading up to the victory of Oliver Cromwell and the execution of King Charles I. Here the much beloved DArtaganan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis reunite to fight the forces of evil. In the original novel they defeated Milady, a formidable foe; now they need to face her vengeful son Mordaunt, as well as countering the machinations of the sinister Cardinal Mazarin. Translated into many languages and adapted for cinema and television, The Musketeer novels have helped to make Dumas arguably the most successful exporter of French culture to the wider world.
