Clovelly

Max Brand

One of Max Brands worth reading as an alternative to his western stories. Michael Clovelly might not have been the greatest swordsman ever to come to London town during the reign of the Merry Monarch, Charles the Second, but if a better man ever wielded a blade, he had not yet stepped forth to claim the distinction. Seeking gold with which to elevate his beggarly fortunes, Clovelly chances to encounter a bully, and his fierce sword work brings him to the attention of Lord Teynham, who has need of a resourceful man with a rapier. The commission: to turn highwayman and rob a certain coach. The reasons? They are both murky and mysterious. But they have to do with a certain lady of impeccable character...

Paul Campenhaye, Specialist in Criminology

J.S. Fletcher

These are great detective stories. Campenhaye solves secrets, at first he tries to understand who ukarl jewels, and then solves the mysterious murder. Every story has the least stress. The most interesting is the ending, it really will be unexpected.

Tiger Eye

B.M. Bower

B.M Bower had a gift for writing Westerns, weaving tales of adventure, intrigue, mystery, and romance often with surprise endings. Her gift for creating engaging, human characters is just as evident in Tiger Eye, a book with a much tougher, more serious plot than some of her early works. The main character, nicknamed Tiger Eye because of his one yellow eye, is a young Texan who has left home to escape being drawn into an old feud. Arriving in Montana, he literally wanders into the middle of a vicious range war between a big cattle outfit and a community of small ranchers and farmers, or nesters. He soon finds himself working for the cattle outfit, but without a very clear idea of whats expected from him.

Eugenie Grandet

Honoré de Balzac

Depicting the fatal clash between material desires and the liberating power of human passions, Honoré de Balzacs Eugénie Grandet (1833) is one of the earliest and most famous novels in his Comedie humaine cycle, which portrays a society consumed by the struggle to amass wealth and achieve power. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine by the sudden arrival of Eugenies cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless. Eugenies emotional awakening, stimulated by her love for her cousin, brings her into direct conflict with her father, whose cunning and financial success are matched against her determination to rebel that results in tragedy for all. This classic work of social satire, carnal desire, greed, and obsession is both an exquisitely drawn portrayal of private life and an extraordinary document of post-revolutionary France.

LArgent

Émile Zola

LArgent est le dix-huitieme roman de lécrivain français. Le jeu, la spéculation sur la propriété fonciere et les valeurs mobilieres, leffondrement de la pyramide financiere sont brillamment décrits dans le roman. Un roman sur lamour et sur lamour de largent. En ce qui concerne le pouvoir global de largent et comment, au détriment deux, une personne peut sélever au ciel et seffondrer dans la boue, il en résultera des actes terribles.

Points West

B.M. Bower

B.M Bower had a gift for writing Westerns, weaving tales of adventure, intrigue, mystery, and romance often with surprise endings.

Cole is the son of wealth, but through no fault of his own this wealth has disappeared. The plot is well constructed with well drawn subsidiary characters and provides a number of interesting twists. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre.

Pan burmistrz z Pipidówki. Powieść z życia autonomicznego Galicji

Michał Bałucki

Doskonała satyra opisująca codzienne życie w XIX-wiecznym galicyjskim miasteczku. Autor obnażył w niej między innymi to, jak nieumiejętnie podchodzono wtedy do wywalczonej wolności. W żartobliwy sposób przedstawia też przyczyny zacofania w Galicji krakowskiej.

Les Mysteres de Paris

Eugene Sue

Eugene Sue parle en détail de la vie de chacun des personnages, de sorte que certains deviennent de bons amis du lecteur, pour qui vous inquiétez jusquaux dernieres pages de lhistoire. Au début du livre, le personnage principal apparaît tombé, buvant, ne causant pas de la sympathie. Ensuite, son histoire sur son enfance la rend sympathique. Ici lhérone est exposée au risque de mourir de froid, de faim ou des mains de Sychiha, menaçant de la noyer pour des bonbons mangés. Mais lhérone senfuit.

Zmierzch bożyszcz. Czyli jak filozofuje się młotem

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, niemiecki XIX-wieczny filozof, zasłynął kontrowersyjną perspektywą ujmowania świata, zwaną później nihilistyczną. Negował istnienie ukrytego sensu i układu świata, pojmując rzeczywistość jako chaos. W radykalny sposób krytykował chrześcijaństwo oraz kulturę zachodnią jako oparte na złudzeniu wewnętrznego ładu i powiązań przyczynowo-skutkowych. Jego pisma charakteryzowały się szczególnym stosunkiem do religii i moralności, zdominowanym przez ateizm, psychologizm i historyzm. Zmierzch bożyszcz prawdopodobnie planowany był jako wstęp do pism filozoficznych, stanowi zbiór refleksji, głównie mocno krytycznych, na temat współczesnego autorowi świata.
