Rozmowy, które miał król Salomon mądry z Marchołtem grubym a sprośnym, a wszakoż, jako o nim powiedają, barzo zwymownym, z figurami i gadkami śmiesznymi

Autor anonimowy

Marchołt, postać pochodząca prawdopodobnie z żydowskich legend, stał się bohaterem XII-wiecznego niemieckiego utworu, przełożonego na polski w wieku XVI. Po objęciu tronu po ojcu Dawidzie król Salomon poznaje szczególnego podwładnego z wyglądu odrażającego, jednak skorego do uczonych dyskusji. Szybko wychodzi na jaw, że Marchołt jest rubasznym prześmiewcą, któremu z uwagi na spryt i błyskotliwość wiele uchodzi na sucho.

Bannlyst

Selma Lagerlöf

Bannlyst är en bok av Selma Lagerlöf. Det är en mörk berättelse som behandlar kannibalism, hustrumisshandel och första världskriget. Handlingen följer i första hand Sven, som kämpar med det äckel som alla även han själv känner för honom, och Sigrun, som tvingas fly frn sin vldsamme make. Kannibalismen och kriget jämförs med varandra och frgan ställs vilket som är värst. Svaret boken ger är att det är mycket värre att beg ett brott mot en levande, än en som är död.

The Cat and the Perfume

Max Brand

One of the greatest western authors of all time, superstar pulpsmith Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Faust, was an incredibly proficient author who wrote many books, stories, and even poetry. Also, he wrote somewhere around 12 or 13 historical swashbucklers not including the seven Tizzo stories. Faust spent time in Italy every year and soaked up the atmosphere and history. The Tizzo stories came out of his Italian sojourn. The complete tales of Tizzo contains the following stories: The Firebrand, The Great Betrayal, The Storm, The Cat and the Perfume, Claws of the Tigress, The Bait and the Trap, The Pearls of Bonfadini. These seven stories of 16th Century Italian Renaissance swashbuckling swordsman Tizzo are tightly-plotted, action-packed adventures which were rarely equaled in quality by Brands contemporaries.
