Komediantka

Władysław Stanisław Reymont

Bohaterką powieści Komediantka jest 22-letnia córka naczelnika stacji kolei warszawsko-wiedeńskiej w Bukowcu, panna Janina Orłowska. Dziewczyna stoi przed życiową decyzją: czy przyjąć oświadczyny adoratora (szanuje go, ale nie kocha), czy też poświęcić się sztuce (aktorstwu). Janka nie widzi się w roli żony. Scena teatralna wydaje się jej szansą rozwinięcia talentu, ucieczki od szarzyzny, bardziej wartościowym i lepszym życiem. Ojciec, z natury porywczy i nieakceptujący córki (zawsze pragnął mieć syna) zarzeka się, że wyrzuci ją z domu, jeśli odrzuci ona oświadczyny Andrzeja Grzesikiewicza. Bohaterka, żyjąca zawsze w zgodzie z własnym sumieniem i swymi wartościami, mimo wszystko nie ulega presji ojca. Musi opuścić dom. Postanawia, że pojedzie do Warszawy i spróbuje dostać się do teatru Cabińskiego, o którym czytała w gazetach poświęconych sztuce. Dalsze losy Janiny koncentrują się wokół teatru Cabińskiego, do którego zostaje zaangażowana. Pieniądze, które dziewczyna ze sobą przywiozła, wkrótce się kończą, a płaca, jaką dostaje, nie wystarcza na życie. Powieść powstała na bazie teatralnych doświadczeń Reymonta i jego obserwacji środowiska aktorskiego.

Peter Pan

J.M. Barrie

Peter Pan is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. The author behind one of the most beloved childhood fairytale characters of all time was known for his joyful embrace of youth and creativity, but there were dark elements surrounding his life that remain mysteries. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans and the dastardly Captain Hook, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland. He befriends Wendy, John and Michael and teaches them to fly with a little help from fairy dust. Humorous, satiric, filled with suspenseful cliff-hangers and bittersweet truths, Peter Pan works an indisputable magic on readers of all ages, making it a true classic of imaginative literature.

The Councillors of Falconhoe

Fred M. White

The Councillors of Falconhoe, the new serial story, written by Mr. Fred. M. White. The story begins in the London club Mars and Jupiter, where several diplomats enjoy a quiet place, and the interest of the reader from the very beginning is maintained in an atmosphere of excitement. Hilary Gelicors, a central figure in the story, after an exciting adventure in the war, is unable to adapt to the relatively peaceful routine of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He prefers to work through other channels for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in the book he is fascinating to resist the machinations of those who would throw Europe further into the abyss.
