Les Mysteres de Paris

Eugene Sue

Eugene Sue parle en détail de la vie de chacun des personnages, de sorte que certains deviennent de bons amis du lecteur, pour qui vous inquiétez jusquaux dernieres pages de lhistoire. Au début du livre, le personnage principal apparaît tombé, buvant, ne causant pas de la sympathie. Ensuite, son histoire sur son enfance la rend sympathique. Ici lhérone est exposée au risque de mourir de froid, de faim ou des mains de Sychiha, menaçant de la noyer pour des bonbons mangés. Mais lhérone senfuit.

Walka z szatanem

Stefan Żeromski

Pierwszy tom trylogii Stefana Żeromskiego Walka z szatanem , obejmującej panoramę życia polskiego w okresie przedwojennym i w latach pierwszej wojny światowej. Młody architekt Ryszard Nienaski podejmuje samotną walkę z szatanem o sprawiedliwszy świat. Symbolem jego dążeń społecznych jest m.in. niedoprowadzony do końca projekt odbudowy starego zboru ariańskiego i stworzenia w nim ludowego ośrodka oświatowego. Z właściwą sobie finezją przedstawił pisarz wątki romansowe. Wyróżniają się także obrazy życia czy to wielkomiejskiego Paryża, czy prowincjonalnej galicyjskiej Posuchy oraz obrazy wojny, kreślone z pasją wyrażającą antywojenny protest pisarza. Niektóre części utworu utrzymane są w poetyce drapieżnego naturalizmu.
