Aleksandra Jonasz
Przeżyj ze mną moją śmierć W Chicago dochodzi do kolejnych brutalnych morderstw, a zabójca wciąż przebywa na wolności. Mijają kolejne miesiące, śledztwo stoi w miejscu, pytania pozostają bez odpowiedzi. Tymczasem niepokojąco realistyczne wizje niemal doprowadzają do obłędu młodą detektyw, Rosalie Evans. Czy to możliwe, że właśnie w nich kryje się klucz do wytropienia zwyrodnialca? Wkrótce sytuacja komplikuje się jeszcze bardziej: znika dyrektor liceum, w którym uczyła się zamordowana nastolatka, a na policję zgłasza się nieoczekiwany świadek. Czasu jest coraz mniej, a Rosalie wie, że lada chwila będzie musiała zmierzyć się z prześladującymi ją demonami Aleksandra Helena Jonasz - urodzona 16 maja 1998 roku w Zamościu.

Adam Asnyk Nad głębiami I Zmiennego bytu falo ty ruchliwa! Co nas unosisz po wszechświata toni, Daremnie wzrok nasz zatem wszystkiem goni, Co pod powierzchnią twoją się ukrywa; Choć nam w błyskawic blasku się odsłoni Głąb niezmierzona, ciemna i straszliwa Trudno nam dotrzeć spojrzeniami do niej Przez pianę zjawisk, co po wierzchu pływa.

Arkady Fiedler
I znowu kusząca Kanada to plon podróży Arkadego Fiedlera do Kraju Klonowego Liścia w 1961 roku. To nie jedyna wyprawa - było ich sześć! Po pierwszej - w 1935 roku - powstała bestsellerowa Kanada pachnąca żywicą, a ostatnią odbył 86-letni wówczas Autor w 1980 roku. Nie ulega wątpliwości - Kanada kusiła Arkadego Fiedlera swym żywicznym aromatem przez 45 lat! Fascynacja tym północnoamerykańskim krajem odczuwalna jest w książce niemal na każdej karcie, zarówno w opisach przyrody, jak i spotkań z ludźmi. Pretekstem jest wyprawa wędkarska, która pozwala ukazać Czytelnikowi piękno dzikiej natury, w interesujący sposób przedstawić historię i kulturę Indian kanadyjskich oraz ich adaptację do dominującej cywilizacji europejskiej. Są oczywiście Polonusi - jak w każdym zakątku świata - oczarowani północno-zachodnią Kanadą, z wielką serdecznością goszczący przybyszów z ojczyzny. Niezaprzeczalnym walorem tej reportażowej opowieści jest, jak zawsze u Fiedlera, język: bogaty, plastyczny, skrzący się porównaniami, epitetami, ale i lapidarny, gdy trzeba. I znowu kusząca Kanada warta więc jest uwagi zarówno ze względu na treść, jak i formę.
