The Forged Coupon and Other Stories

Leo Tolstoy

At the beginning of the story, walking along an incline, some of Tolstoys characters lie, commit robberies and even killings. The author allows his heroes to experience feelings of satisfaction and complete impunity, after they have committed terrible atrocities. Pelageyushkin, going to the massacres, is content with one own impunity. Tolstoy conducts his heroes in hellish circles: all terrible crimes are uncovered. The punishment for the crime hangs with a Damocles sword over the heads of Tolstoy literary characters. It is also interesting that the writer selects his heroes from each social group.

Rogue Herries

Hugh Walpole

This chronicle tells of several generations of a family that lives in the Lake District in England, dating back to the late seventeen hundred. Hughs descriptions of this area are excellent. He had such a great love for him that he conveyed a great sense of his presence throughout all four novels. His characters also become so alive for the reader, because, I think, he is completely immersed in them.

Jajecznica Kolumba

Paweł Wakuła

Jajecznica Kolumba to książka dla wielbicieli dalekich wędrówek, takich, którzy nie wahają się udać w nieznane jedynie z plecakiem i namiotem, i takich, którzy podróżują głównie palcem po mapie. Bohaterem książki jest Kuba, ten sam, który w książce Jagiełło pod prysznicem pobierał u swojego dziadka korepetycje z historii. Tym razem chłopiec i jego rodzina, a wraz z nim czytelnicy poznają najwybitniejszych odkrywców w dziejach, poczynając od starożytnych Fenicjan i Greków, a kończąc na współczesnych polskich podróżnikach. Wyruszą wraz z nimi do mroźnej Ultima Thule, żyznej Winlandii, owianego tajemnicą El Dorado, i niezbadanej Terra Australis Incognita. Przekonają się, że za wielkimi odkryciami geograficznymi stała nie tylko ciekawość świata, ale także chęć zysku, polityka i przypadek, a wśród podróżników nie brakowało zwyczajnych awanturników. Wyprawy na kraj świata przeżyte wspólnie z Leifem Erikssonem, Benedyktem Polakiem, Krzysztofem Kolumbem, Jamesem Cookiem i Roaldem Amundsenem sprawią, że lekcje geografii przestaną być nudne.

Sketches of Young Gentlemen

Charles Dickens

Following the phenomenal popularity of Sketches by Boz, Dickens produced two short volumes of Sketches of Young Gentlemen and Sketches Young Couples". Dedicated to The Young Ladies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as to other young ladies, Sketches of Young Gentlemen scrutinizes in a very witty and humorous fashion certain familiar characteristics of Victorian men and women. Indeed, the sketches center around certain social stereotypes developed by the author. Whimsical, satirical, witty and exuberant, the sketches ridicule the behavior of their subjects with perfect comic effect, offering fascinating evidence of a writer learning his craft and refining his style. To modern readers, these sketches reveal a hidden facet of the great Victorian novelist as they give a glimpse of his little-known beginnings. Highly recommended!
