Mardi, and a Voyage Thither

Herman Melville

The first major novel by Herman Melville. This is a combination of pamphlet and melodrama, ethnics and esoterics, psychology and memoirs, a detective and travel notes, philosophy and poetry, woven into the historical canvas of the mid-19th century. The main character finds himself in a metaphorical world, reflecting the appearance of the countries of the Old and New Worlds in the mirror of the societies of conditional Oceania, where each island has its own prototype or social model.

Fabryka Absolutu

Karel Čapek

W Czechach maszyny zwane karburatorami zaczynają wytwarzać bogów na masową skalę. Nadmiarem Absolutu zaczęto bombardować Anglię, aż w końcu na świecie nastała nieograniczona obfitość wszystkich ludzkich potrzeb. Ale jak się okazuje, ludziom potrzeba wszystkiego, tylko nie nieograniczonej obfitości. Ponadto Absolut w zależności od miejsca przybiera postać taką, na jaką jest zapotrzebowanie. W Polsce jest więc rodzajem alkoholu, w cesarstwie niemieckim został upaństwowiony, a w Czechach został indywidualistą.

Über Ceylon, die malaiische Halbinsel und Penang führt sie der Weg bis nach China.
