Hugh Walpole
Beautiful, but affordable spelling. The characters, especially Janet, were incredibly versatile. They are well-rounded and sympathetically written, and each has its own natural conclusion, making for a very satisfactory ending. If you like a well-written, historical, adult novel with a definitively optimistic ending, then try Wintersmoon.

Henryk Sienkiewicz
Akcja powieści Wiry toczy się w połowie pierwszego dziesięciolecia XX wieku (około 1905 roku). Przeplatają się w niej wątki obyczajowo-romansowe i polityczne. Władysław Krzycki, przedstawiciel ziemiaństwa, wiedzie spokojne życie w swoim majątku w miejscowości Jastrząb. Oddaje się wytwornym kolacjom, koncertom, brydżom, plotkom i swatom, a w wolnych chwilach jeździe konnej. Podczas pogrzebu jednego z członków swojej rodziny poznaje Agnes Anney, Angielkę, która przejawia wielkie przywiązanie do polskiej kultury i tradycji. Kobieta uznawana jest przez wszystkich za przedstawicielkę znienawidzonej burżuazji. Między tymi dwojgiem nawiązuje się romans... Tłem do dość zaskakujących perypetii miłosnych są wydarzenia polityczne związane z rewolucją 1905 roku. Za pośrednictwem książki autor wskazuje negatywne strony obu obozów politycznych zarówno lewicy, jak i prawicy nie opowiadając się wyraźnie za żadną ze stron.

John Buchan
John Buchans own favourite among his novels, in which he dealt with the hypocrisy which can lie close to the surface of apparently god-fearing respectability. The story is set in the Scottish Borders during the civil war and the main character is the new young minister in a small village. The minister wrestles with his own christian faith as opposed to the severe presbyterianism of the Kirk and also has to deal with a pagan coven, a wounded soldier from Montroses defeated army as well as falling in love. The story itself is breathlessly exciting a real page-turner and Buchans characters really live, from the young minister David, with his gradual disillusionment with the Kirk he is pledged to serve to the grace and gaiety of Buchans most attractive and well drawn heroine, Katrine Yester.
Joseph Conrad

Three stories of four show us a rude hero who does not want to be revealed deeply. The other, Partner, shows what happens to you if you are NOT a rude individualist.

Edgar Wallace
People, mostly young people, came to Tressa to resolve their immediate problems, for Tressa was wise in the ways of men and women, had London and its queer code at her finger-tips, and, a greater asset than her sophistication, had never lost touch with the human heart. She was fifty, slim, white of hair and hand, and, sophisticated as she was, had the habit of innocent interpretation.
H.C. McNeile
Word of Honor is the perfect set of most magnificent stories. Some of them have something that can be supernatural. Someone is talking about an incident that happened to them or to a friend in the past, with a group aboard a ship. Most of the stories unfold in Africa, where there are many dangerous stories.
Louisa May Alcott
A story about a nineteenth-century womans search for a meaningful life through work outside the family sphere, Work: A Story of Experience is at once Alcotts exploration of her personal challenges and a social critique of America, examining womens independence, the moral significance of labor, and the goals to which a woman can aspire. The story depicts the struggles of a young woman trying to support herself. The main character, Christie Devon, a New England orphan, works outside the home in a variety of different jobs, but the end of her story marks the beginning of a new career as a voice and activist for other working women. Influenced by Transcendentalism and by the womens rights movement, it affirms the possibility of a feminized utopian society.
