Publikowana korespondencja ukazuje wymiar współpracy i wspólnoty interesów dynastycznych, politycznych, kulturowych i religijnych pomiędzy Domem Wazów i Domem Austrii. Stanowi bazę dla analizy wzajemnych relacji pod kątem powinowactwa, emulacji i rywalizacji. Edycja listów tworzy pewnego rodzaju katalog ukazujący rolę i tożsamość Wazów w rozległym europejskim kontekście kulturowym i politycznym i może stanowić punkt wyjścia do dalszych studiów. Jednym z najważniejszych instrumentów za pomocą którego możemy obserwować i analizować te procesy są listy jakie między sobą wymieniali członkowie obu dynastii. Listy królewskie z podpisem, pieczęcią i ich treścią są trwałym świadectwem obecności i roli Polski w europejskiej kulturze w epoce nowożytnej.

No second glance was needed to realise the pitiful truth. The man seated there in his fine library, with the summer sunset slanting across the red carpet from the open French windows, was blind. Since his daughter Gabrielle had been a pretty, prattling child of nine, nursing her dolly, he had never looked upon her fair face. But he was ever as devoted to her as she to him.

Charlie Chan, the first Chinese detective in literature, is modeled after Chang Apana, a real-life police detective in Honolulu. A family originally from Boston, the Winterslips, has some members living in Hawaii. You can almost feel the gentle trade winds of Hawaii during the 1920s in this classic novel by Earl Derr Biggers. One of the wealthy Winterslips living in Hawaii is murdered. A younger member of the family, John Quincy Winterslip, has been sent to Boston to check up on his Aunt Minerva and persuade her to return to Boston. He arrives in Honolulu and gets involved in the investigation and is determined to see it through to the end, before he returns to the mainland. Romantic and full of atmosphere, this is a most enjoyable read that was our first introduction to Charlie Chan.

After an early success he transfers to Scotland Yard where he becomes a detective. He is successful in solving several difficult cases but is hampered at times by his ethical feelings towards criminals who have been coerced or forced to commit crimes. He allows the innocent to escape, while he pursues the truly guilty. Part II of the book, which also consists of six stories, chronicles Benskins pursuit of and ultimate victory over a self-conceited master-criminal known only by the sobriquet Matthew.
