The Piazza Tales

Herman Melville

Melville has a fairly wide range of styles and approaches. Piazza is a Tolkien excursion into a fairyland, but she asks where the real fairyland is actually located. Piazza, a descriptive and sensitively told pastoral story.

Actions and Reactions

Rudyard Kipling

This is a scatter shot collection of short stories and poems that really have nothing to do with each other. Most of them come from Kiplings early years, so some stories are good. Night Mail is the only science fiction; then there is a fantastic story about a haunted house, almost made up as a detective story, and in the less haunted genre, the couple moves to an old estate and finds that the bonds of earth and blood are stronger than human travels.

Szwedzi w Warszawie

Walery Przyborowski

Pisana w czasie zaborów powieść przenosi czytelnika w historyczne czasy świetności Rzeczypospolitej. Wartka akcja skupiona wokół poszukiwania skarbu ukrytego w warszawskich lochach zaspokaja czytelniczy apetyt przygody. Sympatię budzą znakomicie wykreowani bohaterowie obdarzeni zarówno heroizmem, jak i zwykłymi ludzkimi przywarami i śmiesznostkami.

Edith Percival. A Novel

May Agnes Fleming

The day was very hot. The crew lay in groups, idly, near the deck. The captain a stately man of about forty or so stepped up and down a quarter of the deck now letting his eyes wander around his people or give them some order. His companion was young, three to four years younger than him, with a frank beautiful face and laughing brown eyes. His look of careless ease was very different from the proud stock of his companion, but some secret connection of sympathy bound the two together.

The Innocence of Father Brown

G.K. Chesterton

Father Brown is one of the Hounds greatest crime fighters and his creator, Chesterton, one of the masters of the short crime story. Father Brown is the second among the Great literary detectives, right after Sherlock Holmes. In some ways, Father Brown was a continuation of what Chesterton wrote in his classic Orthodoxy.The Innocence of Father Brown (1911) is the first of five collections of mystery stories by G. K. Chesterton starring an unimposing but surprisingly capable Roman Catholic priest. Father Browns ability to uncover the truth behind the mystery continually surpasses that of the experts around him, who are fooled into underestimation by the priests unimpressive outward appearance and, often, by their own prejudices about Christianity.
