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.

Billy Angel, Trouble Lover

Max Brand

Max Brand (1892-1944) is the best-known pen name of widely acclaimed author Frederick Faust, creator of Destry, Dr. Kildare, and other beloved fictional characters.

He became one of the most prolific writers of our time but abandoned writing at age fifty-one to become a war correspondent in World War II, where he was killed while serving in Italy. Billy Angel, Trouble Lover is the rare pulp Western story from the womans point of view. Mr. Brand writes a fair romance story too. Packed with enough action and romance to please even the most die-hard fans of the genre, the novel also addresses a wide range of important themes with insight and sensitivity.

The Spook Hills Mystery

B.M. Bower

No writer of cowboy stories can equal B. M. Bower. Ever since Chip of immortal memory Bower has been easily first among the writers who stage their dramas in the wide spaces of the cattle country.

Sherman, takes a ride in the hills and discovers tracks made by something that seems neither human nor animal. The subsequent sighting of a bear-like creature might explain the brutal murder of a sheep rancher. Or does it? The mystery deepens and already-high stakes become higher! A very fine story.
