Cień Bafometa. Powieść fantastyczna

Stefan Grabiński

Cień Bafometa to powieść fantastyczna, która jest niezwykle twórczym przełożeniem mitu Doktora Jekylla i pana Hyda. Główny bohater opowieści, Tadeusz Pomian, ma stoczyć pojedynek ze swym śmiertelnym wrogiem ministrem Praderą. Ten jednak zostaje nieoczekiwanie zamordowany. Czy to tylko przypadek, czy też działanie siły wyższej? I co ma z tym wszystkim wspólnego Paweł Kuternóżka, właściciel sklepu z dewocjonaliami? Znakomite połączenie realistycznej narracji z oryginalną wizją wyzwolonego zła.

Gipsy Tales

Fred M. White

Frederick Merrick White wrote a number of novels and short stories under the name Fred M. White including the seven Gipsy Tale. The story of how the small town began to go crazy. The dining room was closed until sunset on Saturday, and thus eight thousand people scattered in huts along a beautiful valley were thrown at their own expense. They played cricket with some energy, they bathed in mountain ponds, hiking and long training walks were held. Rabbits, too, were getting scarce, and Sir Myles Llangaren protested against the slaying of pheasants in August.

Abandoned

Jules Verne

The whaling schooner with an incomplete crew returns to America, after not very successful trades. On board is the owners wife with the child, their cousin Benedict, an analogue of Paganel and Jung Dick Send, fifteen turbulent years. Next comes the rescue of blacks from an abandoned flooded ship and a bloody scene of a whale hunt. This episode, although it did not greatly excite me as a child, having been forgotten, now seemed completely disgusting, especially the realization that the whalers had attacked a nursing mother with a kitten, who now also became doomed to die, but was already starving to death.
