A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas
Charles Dickens
A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is one of the most legendary stories by Charles Dickens. This edition contains the original 1843 illustrations by celebrated caricaturist John Leech. The story has long since become one of the most beloved stories in the English language. As much a part of the holiday season as holly, mistletoe, and evergreen wreaths, this perennial favourite continues to delight new readers and rekindle thoughts of charity and goodwill. The tale begins on a cold and bleak Christmas Eve in London, exactly seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooges business partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge, an old miser, hates Christmas. He refuses his nephew Freds Christmas dinner invitation. At home that night, Scrooge is visited by Marleys ghost, who is forever cursed to wander the earth dragging a network of heavy chains, forged during a lifetime of greed and selfishness. Marley tells Scrooge that he has one chance to avoid the same fatehe will be visited by three spirits, one on each successive evening, and he must listen to them or be cursed to carry chains of his own, much longer than Marleys chains.

A co ciebie obchodzi, co myślą inni?. Dalsze przypadki ciekawego człowieka
Richard P. Feynman
Richard P. Feynman laureat Nagrody Nobla, genialny fizyk i idol dla młodych naukowców na całym świecie opowiada o swoim niezwykłym życiu. Zebrane w książce historie zaskoczą was, rozbawią i na nowo zainspirują do odkrywania tajemnic nauki. Feynman opowiada między innymi o śledztwie w sprawie przyczyn słynnej katastrofy promu Challenger. Jako członek powołanej w tym celu prezydenckiej komisji niczym najlepszy detektyw tropił to, co NASA chciała ukryć, i ujawnił zaniedbania, które doprowadziły do tragedii. Przy okazji naukowiec w fascynujący sposób opowiada o tajnikach inżynierii kosmicznej i podstawowych prawach fizyki. Do wyjaśnienia dziennikarzom, co poszło nie tak podczas feralnego startu, wystarczyły mu kawałek gumy i szklanka wody z lodem. A co ciebie obchodzi, co myślą inni? to pytanie, którym Arlene ukochana żona Feynmana potrafiła go przekonać do najbardziej szalonych pomysłów. Te słowa stały się dla niego mottem na całe życie dzięki nim czuł się swobodnie zarówno na sali wykładowej, jak i podczas przyjęcia w królewskim pałacu. A kiedy trafił do hotelu w peerelowskiej Warszawie, bez zastanowienia rzucił się do rozkręcania instalacji elektrycznej w pokoju, aby znaleźć tam ukryte podsłuchy. Jeden z największych umysłów XX wieku. A także uparty, lekceważący, żartobliwy, niezwykle ciekawski i wybitnie oryginalny praktycznie we wszystkim, czym się zajmował.
