Ich tajemnica. Powieść

Mieczysław Srokowski

Mieczysław Srokowski (18731910) był polskim pisarzem i poetą, parał się także aktorstwem. Zaliczano go do tzw. meteorów Młodej Polski. Nazywano tak indywidualistów o dużej wrażliwości i szczególnych uzdolnieniach, których koleje losu często okazywały się tragiczne. Srokowski tworzył poezje w konwencji młodopolskiej, a także skandalizujące powieści psychologiczne, przesiąknięte erotyzmem, zdecydowanie wyprzedzające epokę.

The Conspirators

Alexandre Dumas

In the center of the novel is the fate of Adjutant Bonaparte Roland de Montrevel, and already in connection with this story we are faced with the image of Napoleon himself. But this does not stop Dumas from paying him much attention in the novel. And if at the beginning of the novel Napoleon appears as a very young general of the period of the Egyptian campaign and subsequent events, then in the finale he already measures the crown after Marengo and his other brilliant victories.

Comedies

Aristophanes

Aristophanes, nicknamed the father of comedy, wrote in a different way than the first tragedies. He was troubled by everyday problems, rarely associated with the past. Gods also rarely appeared in his works, like the heroes of antiquity: the main role was given to contemporaries. If certain events of Aristophanes did not suit him, he made fun of them, or offered original recipes to change the situation for the better.

No More Parades

Ford Madox Hueffer

Despite his intellectual brilliance, successful career, and sizeable inheritance, Christopher Tietjens is a largely unhappy man. Tortured by his wifes open infidelity, caught up in his own heated affair, Tietjens attempts to put his past behind him by volunteering to fight for his country. Tragic and emotionally piercing, No More Parades by Ford Madox Ford, is a story of romance, war and betrayal that proves a brilliant sequel to Some Do Not.

Flush

Virginia Woolf

Flush tells the story of the curious, determined boy Noah Underwood, his tough, persistent sister Abby and their unusual father, who defends everything that he believes is right. Papa Noah is imprisoned for drowning in the shoes of the Coral Queen Dusty Muleman casino. Noahs father did not do this for any good reason, the true reason is that he thinks that Dusty discharges sewage into the ocean, where children swim and where marine life lives.

The Black Mate

Joseph Conrad

Since this is not a very famous story, and most of the pleasure that it provides depends on the surprise that the highlight in the story will present to the reader. Winston Bunter, who registered as First Mate on Sapphire, a ship bound for Calcutta. His commander, Captain Jones, is described as an extremely unpleasant person, incredulous and capricious, who believes that sailors over forty are no longer suitable, and he always talks about ghosts and ways to contact them. Despite all this strange humor that lives within the framework of this story, you can, of course, feel that the narrator is very skeptical of Johns opinion that senior sailors are no longer suitable, as he makes a sharp remark that gray-haired tars are desperate in search of a berth in the English ports.
