The Broken Trail

Harold Bindloss

Michaels Evil Deeds

E. Phillips Oppenheim

Michaels Evil Deeds (and they are very evil at times) is a rather ingenious crime novel in more ways than one. Firstly the 11 chapters each represent a separate incident but overall they do link together, if on occasions somewhat loosely. And secondly the tale is told by various of the protagonists so there is often a different point of view within each chapter.

Kryształowy korek

Maurice Leblanc

Bohater podchodzi do zadania spokojnie, uważając je za banalnie proste.

Patria

Edgar Wallace

Edgar Wallace was a prolific author of crime, adventure and humorous stories, whose best known creations include The Four Just Men, Sanders of the River, and J. G. Reeder. In this work, the spies from Japan conspire to steal the Channing preparedness fortune and invade the United States, beginning in New York, then allying themselves with Mexicans across the border. They are stopped by the efforts of munitions factory heiress Patria Channing and U.S. Secret Service agent. Fast-paced, with good twists and turns, an unusual criminal scheme and a little romance. As the novel is rather short and quite fast-paced with a lot of scenery-changes and adventures, this nice. Highly recommended!

Jak wam się podoba

William Shakespeare

Znakomita komedia mistrza teatru elżbietańskiego choć różnie oceniana przez krytyków, czasem mało pochlebnie, jest jednak jedną z najczęściej wystawianych stuk Szekspira i uwielbianą przez czytelników po dziś dzień. Zapewnia znakomitą rozrywkę, urzekając celnymi i błyskotliwymi dialogami, wyraziście zarysowanymi, pełnymi humoru postaciami i niezwykłym stosunkiem do natury.

The Silver Stream. An Idyl of the Wye

Fred M. White

A story about two guys who defended the honor of their university in rowing. There were only two men in the narrow craft; and as they were double sculling, with long clean sweep, making a musical click of oars in the rowlocks, there was not much opportunity for conversation They moved with a regular rapid rhythm, until they were almost in the shadow of the bridge. But can they get to their goal? After all, many obstacles will be in their way.

The Marriage Contract

Honoré de Balzac

Just a plain old story told by a superb story teller. A Marriage Contract (French: Le Contrat de marriage) is an 1835 novel by French author Honoré de Balzac and included in the Scenes de la vie privée section of his novel sequence La Comédie humaine. Set in Bordeaux, the marriage between an elegant but weak young Parisian gentleman, Paul de Manerville, and the beautiful but spoiled daughter of a Spanish heiress, Natalie Evangélista, is undermined from the beginning by a fight over the contract of marriage and the financial arrangements, which causes the mother-in-law to seek revenge against Paul. The story is told in a typical Balzac prose style, a forthright narrative sprinkled with witty adages and life lessons, a swift change in emotions running in his characters such that its difficult to decipher the true nature of each character but only to gratify ones curiosity by admitting that inherent fallacy of human character its multi-faced nature.
