Henry James
The novel is complicated, its true. Long, ornate sentences, philosophical speculations of the characters, complex in their structure and further awareness of the phrase.. but.. this and not only the novel represents the uniqueness and sophistication. Restrained and at the same time shocking, harmonious and scary real. Did you know that among the higher aristocracy there are wolves in sheeps clothing?

Brook uwielbia samotne godziny spędzane z książką na tarasie, pod rozgwieżdżonym niebem. A także wiosenne noce. Nie spodziewa się, że to właśnie podczas jednej z nich z naprzeciwka pojawi się ktoś, kto wywróci jej uporządkowany świat do góry nogami. Declan, przystojny chłopak z wielkiego miasta, przyjeżdża do dziadków i zupełnym przypadkiem staje się nowym sąsiadem dziewczyny. Wspólne poranne biegi, rozmowy do późna i sportowe pasje szybko przeradzają się w coś więcej. Ale lato kończy się zbyt szybko, a wraz z nim może skończyć się ta opowieść. Czy kiedy czas działa na niekorzyść dwóch bratnich dusz, warto kłaść na szali własne serce? "The Winning Shot" to pełna ciepła historia o pierwszym zauroczeniu, odwadze mówienia o uczuciach i dorastaniu do decyzji, które nie zawsze są łatwe. Nowelka z Kolekcji romansów sportowych Inanny
S.S. Van Dine
This is the last Filo Vance novel, and it is actually not finished. Vance possessed a surprisingly vast and accurate knowledge of thousands of Willards arts and objects, and was also skeptical of life and society. But in reality, only those who superficially know Willard Huntington Wright will have this similarity. Vance as much as he was Wright.
William Shakespeare
This play is not just a fairy tale by its name, everything in it is amazing and unbelievable, and it would be ridiculous to look for likelihood here! But, as you know, a fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, because among the wonderful fairy-tale accidents of the play we learn about what actually happens. That there are jealous husbands, rejected wives, abandoned children, as well as good nurses, loyal servants, honest counselors. That evil can take possession of the human soul, as it possessed Leont, who broke his own happiness and the happiness of those he loved. And that only time can put everything in its place.
G.K. Chesterton
In Chestertons second Father Brown book, The Wisdom of Father Brown, we get a series of bizarre, sometimes dangerous mysteries that Father Brown must puzzle out. Some of the crimes are simple once Brown explains them, but others are devious, chilling things that are wrapped in Chestertons poetic prose. In the stories that follow, the priest investigates many other mysteries: a sinister voodoo cult, a nobleman with a deformed ear, a gang of Italian thieves, a lie-detector with one major problem (the operator), a girl who is blackmailed for a crime nobody knows she committed, a burning tower, a murder that may be suicide, and a man who is under a horrible death curse. Father Brown solves things by observation and thought, in some ways like Poirot, but in an unassuming and modest manner. The stories are each very different, but are very good reading.
