Tam O the Scouts

Edgar Wallace

The book consists of 10 short stories about Tam a brilliant Scottish pilot, a thriller novel fan, socialist and cigar addict. The stories of Tam the pilot are not mysteries. Tams dialogue is written phonetically and he is great fun and saves the rather silly pre-Biggles stories from being too ridiculous to be enjoyable. The characters are broad, the situations light, but the stories are exciting and fun. Tam is a real person, and all the adventures set forth have actually happened, though names and places are necessarily fictitious. These are some of the earliest examples of air pulp, which exploded in popularity a decade after this books publication, following Linderbergs famous flight, and the release of Wellmans Wings.

Polskie hymny i pieśni patriotyczne. Śpiewnik wydany w 100-lecie odzyskania niepodległości

Praca zbiorowa

Pieśni hymniczne i patriotyczne warte są wyodrębnienia spośród poezji różnych autorów i epok, pełniły bowiem rolę wyjątkową. Przez wieki podtrzymywały na duchu, zagrzewały do walki bądź wyrażały marzenia i dążenia kolejnych pokoleń Polaków. Przez ponad 120 lat nieobecności Polski na mapie Europy zastępowały lekcje historii i programy polityczne. Na niniejszy zbiór składa się 60 najważniejszych polskich pieśni hymnicznych oraz patriotycznych obejmujących okres od czasów bitwy pod Grunwaldem do czasu epopei legionowej i walk o granice odradzającej się Polski w XX wieku. Poszczególne utwory zostały pogrupowane w siedem części: 1. Polskie hymny narodowe; 2. Pieśni religijne; 3. Śpiewy, pieśni i piosenki z okresu Pierwszej Rzeczypospolitej; 4. Pieśni powstań narodowych XIX wieku; 5. Popularne piosenki z XIX stulecia; 6. Pieśni i piosenki legionowe; 7. Pieśni i piosenki harcerskie. Teksty najpopularniejszych utworów zostały uzupełnione zapisem nutowym.

Beniowski

Juliusz Słowacki

Fabuła skupia się na podróżach awanturnika Maurycego Beniowskiego, przerywana jest jednak często uwagami narratora komentującymi różne sprawy publiczne.

The Isle of Pirates Doom

Robert E. Howard

The long low craft which rode off-shore had an unsavory look, and lying close in my covert, I was glad that I had not hailed her. Caution had prompted me to conceal myself and observe her crew before making my presence known, and now I thanked my guardian spirit; for these were troublous times and strange craft haunted the Caribees.

The Swordsman of Mars

Otis Adelbert Kline

The Age of Miracles produces an amazing suicide and a triumphant return from death. A million dollar prize is offered and won for the most perfect automation. The Revenge of the Robot and Other Tales is a collection of thrilling sci-fi stories from mechanistic progress, written by Otis Adelbert Kline, who was an adventure and science-fiction novelist of the pulp era. Kline is perhaps best known for his novelistic feud with Edgar Rice Burroughs. He wrote Planet of Peril (1929) and two other novels set on the planet Venus and written in the storytelling form of the John Carter of Mars novels, prompting Burroughs to write his own stories set on Venus. In return, Kline wrote two novels set on Mars, as well as several jungle adventurers quite reminiscent of Burroughss Tarzan.

The Code of the West

Zane Grey

Georgianna Stockwell, a free-spirited young woman from the East, moves to the wilds of the Tonto Basin in Arizona and she creates a violent culture clash. She has been sent there by her parents and doctor for a change of scenery. It seems Georgianna had gotten herself lung problems due to all of her dancing and gadding about. Fortunately, her sister, Mary Stockwell is on the scene ready to take care of her younger sister and to show her how life should really be lived. But it seems Georgianna has realized something perhaps Mary has not. Men and women did not/do not stand on equal terms and this is something Zane Grey lets on that he was aware of as well by writing Georgiannas character. Cal Thurman is the love that is set aside as Georgiannas suitor. Mary and Enoch also come together in Code of the West, although without all of the bumps of Cal and Georgiannas relationship.
