Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

William Shakespeare

The plot holds in suspense, and the final and in general a complete delight. A lot of wise thoughts. The writers and critics have dismantled this work not only by the lines, but by letter, giving each a special meaning. But the average reader will find here a lot of everyday life truths, which are relevant in todays time. Hamlet is one of those works that can be read many times and each time open it to yourself again.

Range Jester

Max Brand

Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944) was an American author best known for his thoughtful Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. Prolific in many genres, he wrote historical novels, detective mysteries, pulp fiction stories and many more. This is one of his work. Three men, each traveling alone, head for the town of Loomis, where they will meet in a violent confrontation that will leave one of them dead by morning. 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.

The Five Knots

Fred M. White

Frederick Merrick White is an eminent writer who became famous for his short stories. The main character, Samuel Flowers, is a wealthy man and owns a fleet of ships. In England, where precious treasures are missing, some people begin to search for them. Will they be found, and what will happen to Flowers and his niece?

Black Wind Blowing

Robert E. Howard

In Black Wind Blowing, Howard lays it on so thick I half suspected he was trying to do a spoof on the genre. But then, his normal storytelling was always full of bizarre images, hyperactive violence and heavy use of adjectives so this story is probably just an extreme example. It helps too, that Black Wind Blowing has enough wild premises to build at least two or three effective horror stories on. If youre not moved by whats going on at the moment, by the next page the story has shifted gears in a weirder direction.

Myszeida. Monachomachia. Antymonachomachia. Poematy heroikomiczne

Ignacy Krasicki

Zbiór trzech cieszących się największą popularnością poematów heroikomicznych autorstwa Ignacego Krasickiego. Myszeidos pieśni X, czyli Myszeida, nawiązuje do legendy o królu Popielu pochodzącej z Kroniki polskiej Wincentego Kadłubka. Jest to utwór o wojnie kotów z wojskami szczurzo-mysimi pod dowództwem Gryzomira. Przy pomocy świata zwierzęcego autor krytykuje obyczajowość szlachecką, awanturnictwo, egoizm i przekupstwo posłów. Przy okazji wyśmiewa manierę literacką baroku i sentymentalizmu. Monachomachia, czyli Wojna mnichów opowiada historię walki pomiędzy mnichami z dwóch zakonów. Utwór jest dynamiczny, pełen komizmu i groteski. Jest jednak ostrą krytyką ukrytą pod kostiumem zabawnych postaci. Autor sam będący osobą duchowną występuje przeciwko zasobnemu życiu kleru oraz próżniactwu i zacofaniu kapłanów. Antymonachomachia powstała jako pozorne przeciwieństwo Monachomachii. Autor dokonuje w niej w sposób ironiczny pochwały życia zakonników.

The Sea Tower

Hugh Walpole

The story the mother-in-law the situation of the daughter-in-law, growing hatred, as motherhood possessions find disappointment. The final break looks like anti-climax. In the story, the story is reminiscent of The Daughter of Mr. Despondency by Anna Parrish, although Walpole dealt with his material more confidently, with great skill.

The Adventures of Gerard

Arthur Conan Doyle

Love humor writing? Cant get enough of classic adventure tales? First published in 1902, The Adventures of Gerard are the autobiographical reminiscences of an old fictional brigadier soldier who served under Napoleon. He never hesitates to embellish his own bravado, importance, and attractiveness to the ladies, to such an extent that it cant help but be humorous. Etienne Gerard, a hussar of the French Army, is dashing, flamboyant, and unbelievably full of himself. The book is divided into chapters containing different segments of his life as a soldier under the leadership of Napoleon together with his personal exploits and the romance that swept his way in between. These short stories are historically interesting, the action is cleverly done and exciting, and the hero and his comic comportment are very entertaining.
