Jerychonka

Maria Rodziewiczówna

Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w środowisku cyganerii krakowskiej. Filip Osiecki, Andrzej Oryż i Magda Domontówna są malarzami. Każda z tych postaci kocha, jednak bez wzajemności ze strony obiektu uczuć. Filip jest opętany uczuciem do pięknej baronowej. Nie zdaje sobie jednak sprawy z tego, iż jest jedynie jej zabawką. Andrzej kocha Magdę, lecz jego uczucie nie opiera się na fizyczności. Domontówna jest dla niego niczym muza. Z kolei Magda darzy uczuciem Filipa. Jej miłość ma jednak charakter platoniczny. Dziewczyna bardziej pragnie wcielić się w rolę przyjaciółki i powiernicy niż obiekt namiętności. Wszystko zmierza nieuchronnie do dramatu...

William Le Queux

I sometimes despair of the country ever becoming alive to the danger of the unpreparedness of our present position until too late to prevent some fatal catastrophe. This was the keynote of a solemn warning made in the House of Lords by Earl Roberts. His lordship, whilst drawing attention to our present inadequate forces, strongly urged that action should be taken in accordance with the recommendations of the Elgin Commission that no military system could be considered satisfactory which did not contain powers of expansion outside the limit of the regular forces of the Crown.

The Faith of Men and Other Stories

Jack London

This is a situation when a person is faced with the inevitability of a terrible painful death. A choice arises before him, which is worse: to accept a painful end, clinging to life until the last breath, or to die voluntarily. This story is not about mans courage, but about his weakness for money, his passion for profit. And such a passion destroys man in man. And then there is nothing left but money. Money money money... there is nothing in the head but them.
