Wiry

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Akcja powieści Wiry toczy się w połowie pierwszego dziesięciolecia XX wieku (około 1905 roku). Przeplatają się w niej wątki obyczajowo-romansowe i polityczne. Władysław Krzycki, przedstawiciel ziemiaństwa, wiedzie spokojne życie w swoim majątku w miejscowości Jastrząb. Oddaje się wytwornym kolacjom, koncertom, brydżom, plotkom i swatom, a w wolnych chwilach jeździe konnej. Podczas pogrzebu jednego z członków swojej rodziny poznaje Agnes Anney, Angielkę, która przejawia wielkie przywiązanie do polskiej kultury i tradycji. Kobieta uznawana jest przez wszystkich za przedstawicielkę znienawidzonej burżuazji. Między tymi dwojgiem nawiązuje się romans... Tłem do dość zaskakujących perypetii miłosnych są wydarzenia polityczne związane z rewolucją 1905 roku. Za pośrednictwem książki autor wskazuje negatywne strony obu obozów politycznych zarówno lewicy, jak i prawicy nie opowiadając się wyraźnie za żadną ze stron.

Les Trois Yeux

Maurice Leblanc

Ce fut lui, le premier, qui vit la premiere lueur. Un cri lui échappa, tandis que ses deux mains sagitaient frénétiquement en lair. Et, presque aussitôt, comme des étincelles qui crépitent de tous les côtés, dautres cris séparpillerent dans le silence, qui se reforma instantanément, plus lourd et plus épais. Lextraordinaire énigme des trois yeux. Voulez-vous savoir les réponses?

The Keepers of the Kings Peace

Edgar Wallace

The Keepers of the Kings Peace is another entry in Edgar Wallaces eminently popular Sanders of the River series based on British attempts to bring their administration to darkest Africa. An elite crew of officers is charged with getting to the bottom of a female shamans seemingly miraculous powers, but bumbling new addition Bones keeps getting in the way. Will they be able to stave off a mass rebellion before its too late? Always with tongue in cheek, Edgar Wallace nevertheless provides insights into the period of history at the same time. Wonderful characters, enthralling stories, never a dull moment. These stories are as good as any of the Sanders of the River stories.
