Po pewnym czasie, chce wracać do domu, ale kapitan Smith namawia go, by popłynął z nim do Gwinei, a gdy tam dorobi się majątku, zostanie łaskawiej przyjęty przez ojca. Podczas kolejnej podróży statek zostaje napadnięty, a Robinson, wraz z innymi, wzięty do niewoli mauretańskiej, z której po dwóch latach ucieka. Płynie do Brazylii, gdzie staje się plantatorem. 30 września 1659, podczas wyprawy po niewolników, statek rozbija się. Robinson jest jedynym ocalałym. Trafia na bezludną wyspę, gdzie przyjdzie mu spędzić następne 28 lat. Fabuła Przypadki Robinsona Crusoe i postać Robinsona Crusoe były wzorowane na prawdziwych losach Aleksandra Selkirka, szkockiego żeglarza, który w latach 1704-1709 spędził cztery lata na wyspie Más a Tierra (obecnie wyspa Robinson Crusoe), u wybrzeży Chile.

Chick

Edgar Wallace

Among the most prolific of all authors of adventure fiction was the redoubtable Edgar Wallace. During the peak of his success during the 1920s, it was said that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. In this classic comedy, an office boy unexpectedly inherits the title of Marquis. As well as dealing with this unexpected elevation in his status, and learning how to behave as a member of the aristocracy he also has to protect his newly inherited estate from clever con-men who try to convince him that there is oil on his land and after a series of adventures win the girl he loves. Mildly comic with a likeable title character, an enjoyable piece of fluff.

The Call of Cthulhu

H.P. Lovecraft

The Call of Cthulhu is the story of a man who uncovers evidence of otherworldly beings residing in a state of hibernation deep beneath the surface of the Earths oceans. Though the image of Cthulhu is by no means original, as it is heavily borrowed from Scandinavian lore among other sources, Lovecrafts descriptionsin this case of a basrelief carved in its likenessare still nothing short of chilling. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. The story is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. Considered as the father of contemporary horror fiction, H. P. Lovecraft shows exquisite details in The Call of Cthulhu that perfectly denote his cosmic indifferentism beliefs and takes advantages of his imaginative universe filled with immense entities to demonstrate how weak humans really are.

The Life of King Henry the Fifth

William Shakespeare

In Henry V, a small episode of Anglo-Frankish history is described, the Hundred Years War The Battle of Azincourt. The crushing defeat of the French will forever remain in the memory of the losers and in the dreams of the descendants of future kings. Despite the fact that the battle was described, the war was described, it seemed to me that there were a lot of comedic moments here.
