Homer

Poemat o wojnie Greków z Trojanami. Obok Odysei drugi z eposów, których autorstwo tradycja przypisuje Homerowi. Dziesiąty rok wojny trojańskiej. Największy grecki wojownik Achilles w gniewie porzuca walkę z Trojańczykami, po tym gdy Agamemnon odbiera mu brankę Bryzejdę. Trojanie w ten sposób uzyskują przewagę. Patroklos, chcąc dodać otuchy Grekom, wkłada zbroję Achillesa i rusza na czele wojsk greckich przeciwko Trojanom. Sam widok zbroi Achillesa wystarczył, by Trojanie cofnęli się. Jedynie Hektor stawił czoła rzekomemu Achillesowi i zabił Patroklosa. Zrozpaczony po stracie przyjaciela Achilles zapomina o obrazie i po wykuciu przez Hefajstosa nowej zbroi, pragnąc zemsty, rusza w bój pod mury Troi, pod którymi oczekuje go Hektor. Strukturę Iliady cechuje stałe przenikanie się i korespondencja dwóch płaszczyzn fabularnych świata ludzi i świata bogów.

They use their own methods, carry out their own verdicts which the police were unable or unwilling to carry out. There can be no compromise. Each of the ten chapters in this book recounts a separate episode in the careers of two of the trio who call themselves the Three Just Men. The third member of the trio remains in the background. The mission that the Three Just Men have undertaken is to mete out punishment to evil-doers whom the law has failed to reach.

A Modern Cinderella. Or, The Little Old Show and Other Stories

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott created some fascinating short stories here. A Modern Cinderella: or The Little Old Shoe And Other Stories contains four short stories by Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women: A Modern Cinderella, Debbys Debut, The Brothers, and Nellys Hospital. Like her more famous novels, Alcott tells stories of young women interacting with people and events from the late 1800s. Louisa May Alcott bestows a truly amusing and thoroughly modern retelling of The Brothers Grimms Cinderella. Little Women is certainly Louisa May Alcotts best known book, but dont miss her refreshing version of this classic fairy tale, A Modern Cinderella. Alcott pokes fun throughout, describing a cool blonde as having many cares those happy little housewives never know. What modern gal doesnt appreciate that those old, worn out shoes are dependable and will take you far forget impractical glass slipper or stilettos! A great addition to the Alcott library of stories.

The Secret of Father Brown

G.K. Chesterton

Have you wondered how the great detectives solved their cases? In The Secret of Father Brown, while visiting Flambeaus house Father Brown meets a curious American who has to know as some of his countrymen think Father Brown is using mystical powers. The fourth of the Father Brown detective story collections has something the first three did not: a framing sequence at the beginning and end, in which Father Brown explains to a curious person his method for solving crimes he becomes the criminal. In this collection he becomes several jewel thieves and murderers, all of whom carry out their crimes in bizarre circumstances. Father Brown, or rather Chesterton, takes opportunity on occasion to indulge in a bit of Catholic apologetic or homiletic, but it never takes over the story: it makes Father Brown that much more a priest and not just a mystery-solving machine.
