Muszę wypocząć. Obrazek sceniczny

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Henryk Sienkiewicz to nie tylko autor niezapomnianych powieści i nowel, lecz także twórca sztuk scenicznych. Laureat literackiej Nagrody Nobla był także świetnym dramaturgiem. Sztuka Muszę wypocząć ukazała się w noworocznym numerze Kuriera Codziennego w 1897 r. Zadedykowana została Bolesławowi Prusowi. Autor przedstawia w niej w zwartej i dowcipnej formie dzień sławnego literata, który postanowił w końcu się zrelaksować. Wiąże się to z tym, że przestał na kilka dni pisać, przygotowywać się do odczytów i nie dosypiać po nocach, by wywiązać się z rozmaitych zobowiązań wobec redakcji. Przestał również czytać listy od swych wielbicieli, którzy zwracają się doń z najdziwniejszymi sprawami: Czy pan łatwiej pracujesz po wołowinie, czy po baraninie lub po kotletach wieprzowych? Po jakim mięsie tworzysz pan łatwiej charaktery, a po jakim krajobrazy? .

Tales of Lonely Trails

Amazement in the big dark cave worried me. My dreams of romance really lived there once. I climbed to a height above the huge stones, and along the smooth red walls, where I once swam Larkin, quickly moving, I entered the shaded rock, and wandered through thickets that were never free from the history that I conceived nature itself...

Do great men have great sons and how much does ones own lifes experiences cause variance to this question? To the ordinary reader there will seem very little in point of morality to choose between Robert Hartwell and the villainous millionaire whom a strange facial resemblance enables him to impersonate.

The Countess of Charny. Or, The Execution of King Louis XVI

Alexandre Dumas

This swashbuckling yarn is the continuation of the story in Memoirs of a physician, The Queens necklace, and Six Years Later. The Countess of Charny or, The Execution of King Louis XVI is the seventh in Dumas series on the retelling of the French Revolution. Known as one of the important early figures in the burgeoning genre of historical fiction, Alexandre Dumas spent much of his life chronicling the social and political unrest that utterly transformed France and by extension, the rest of the world -- in the eighteenth century. This sweeping epic focuses on several parallel plot lines, all leading up to the death by beheading of the king in 1793, marking him with the dubious distinction of being the only French king to be executed. Highly recommended for fans of Dumass historical work, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
