Aleksander Żabczyński. Jak drogie są wspomnienia
Ryszard Wolański
Aleksander Żabczyński (19001958) był jednym z najpopularniejszych polskich aktorów dwudziestolecia międzywojennego. Rozgłos przyniosły mu role komediowych amantów w spektaklach teatralnych oraz występy w licznych warszawskich teatrzykach i rewiach. Zagrał salonowych uwodzicieli w tak znanych filmach jak Ada, to nie wypada, Jadzia czy Zapomniana melodia, jako piosenkarz wylansował wiele przebojów. W roku 1939 uczestniczył w kampanii wrześniowej, potem walczył jako oficer polskich sił zbrojnych na Zachodzie, m.in. został ranny pod Monte Cassino. W roku 1946 wrócił do Polski, znowu zaczął występować w teatrze. O aktorstwie Aleksandra Żabczyńskiego w czasie pokoju napisano sporo. O czasach wojny i socjalistycznego powojnia czasami mówił i pisał sam, niewiele i wyjątkowo powściągliwie co nie powinno dziwić. Korzystając z niepublikowanych dotąd dokumentów, Ryszard Wolański szczegółowo opisuje całe jego życie.

She meets her friends and friends and she is the way through. Alice in Wonderland is a truly rare book: a book that can entertain and enlighten both a child and an adult.
Herbert George Wells
Short story told as an allegory set in the future, in form of narrative, with some trenchant remarks on the current situation, and a brilliant introduction to which the balance fails to measure up. Dialogs between God and Mr. Noah Lammock planning a new Ark in which the best of mankind may be rescued from the new flood of war and horror. Wells-Lammock querying of Biblical history is irreverent but amusing, but the plans which follow, for the rk and its voyaging, bog down considerably. All Aboard for Ararat is a 1940 allegorical novella by H. G. Wells that tells a modernized version of the story of Noah and the Flood. Wells was 74 when it was published, and it is the last of his utopian writings.

This is a collection of short stories. These are rather atypical horror stories. After all, here the heroes are not afraid of ghosts or a monster. Namely, the behavior of the characters in the stories scares everyone. Some contain ghosts or another supernatural phenomenon, others are simply disturbing they inspire the reader with a sense of anxiety, talking about coincidences that may not be quite like that. This is something unusual.
