Stella Fregelius. A Tale of Three Destinies

H. Rider Haggard

This is another of Haggards eternal love stories. This novel tells of intersecting fates, the triangle: scholarly Morris Monk, inventor; his first cousin, Mary Porson; and the daughter of the new church rector, Stella Fregelius. The story at one point plays with the idea that love cannot exist between man and woman without lust, which implies a rare power to Morris and Stellas bond. The moral of this story is: love that lives after death, and that spiritual connection is much more important than physical and temporary.

Wiersze. Wybór

Jan Andrzej Morsztyn

Tom zawiera wybór utworów poetyckich Jana Andrzeja Morsztyna, polityka i poety, czołowego przedstawiciela polskiego baroku dworskiego. Utwory Morsztyna odznaczają się niezwykłym kunsztem. Znane motywy potrafił autor przetworzyć w niebanalny sposób. Jego zdolność do odświeżania utartych figur stylistycznych, zabawy słowem, tworzenia nieoczekiwanych point czy zaskakiwania kunsztownymi konceptami decydowały o oryginalności tej poezji. W erotykach, które dominują w jego twórczości, korzystał z kontrastów wynikających z przejścia od wzniosłości do potoczności, od rozbudowanych komplementów do żartów i złośliwości. Przy opisywaniu kobiecej urody wykorzystywał motywy włosów, oczu wypowiadających wojnę zalotnikowi, kwiatów wyrastających u stóp kobiety czy słońca blednącego w porównaniu ze spojrzeniem kochanki.
