Ailsa Paige

Robert W. Chambers

This book is one of the most popular novels by Robert William Chambers and has been translated into several other languages around the world. No history of the 3rd Zouave or 8th Lancers has ever been written except in this narrative; and historians and veterans alike would look in vain for any record of these two regimentsregiments that could have been, but never were.

A Horses Tale

Mark Twain

It was interesting how Twain switched between stories. For example, a horse started a story from a first-person perspective. At first, people told, then letters told about past events, often to characters who do not participate in the events of history, and, finally, animals told other animals about the dialogue.

The Maid-at-Arms

Robert W. Chambers

This is an outstanding book written in the old style. The story is set between the middle and the end of the Revolutionary War and has a good mix of adventure, romance and complex characters with a bit of history thrown in for good measure.

Wiersze. Wybór

Stanisław Wyspiański

Stanisław Wyspiański, nazywany czwartym polskim wieszczem, tworzył w epoce Młodej Polski. Sławę i uznanie przyniosła mu twórczość zarówno malarska, jak i literacka. Tworzył liczne dramaty, utrzymane w duchu romantycznym i patriotycznym, pod wieloma względami nowatorskie. Zebrane w tomie wiersze Wyspiańskiego pokazują jego mniej znane, liryczne oblicze.

The Dark Star

Robert W. Chambers

Jim Nyland, an artist with a touch of Irish in his blood, becomes an amateur adventurer among professional spies who, in the style of the Hitchcockian protagonist, treat the danger in which he finds himself as nothing more than fun.
