Max Brand
A power more than human, a will to absolute evil such was he. All who had tried to save her from him perished... Must her true love also die? Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Faust, was an incredibly proficient author who wrote many books, stories, and even poetry. Brand is generally regarded as the author of superior Westerns like his Destry Rides Again, but Brand also wrote the Dr. Kildare series, numerous detective stories and fantastic novels as well. His Westerns were always different, with complex plots and characters, and uncertain endings but his fantastic novels rank among the best stories he ever wrote. Devil Ritter is a tale of horror that demands your attention!
William Le Queux
Let me gaze down the vista of the tristful past. Ah! there are things that cannot be uttered; there are scenes that still entrance me, and incidents so unexpected and terrible that they cause me even now to hold my breath in horror. The prologue of this extraordinary drama of London life was enacted three years ago; its astounding dénouement occurred quite recently.

Maria Rodziewiczówna
Historia zaściankowo-dworska, której akcja toczy się na Żmudzi. Tytułowy Dweajtis to prastary dąb symbol wiecznego trwania. O jego uratowanie walczy główny bohater, który pracuje na cudzym w majątku. Niespodziewanie po jego stronie staje młoda i ładna właścicielka. Życie bohaterów powieści obraca się wokół utrzymania ziemi, dziedzictwa i tożsamości. Najważniejszym miernikiem wartości człowieka jest jego stosunek do pracy. Dweajtis to piękna opowieść o życiu człowieka zmagającego się ze swoim losem, o sile charakteru, o niezłomności i w końcu o szukaniu siły i oparcia w przyrodzie. Jedna z najlepszych powieści Marii Rodziewiczówny, nagrodzona w 1888 r. w konkursie Kuriera Warszawskiego. Powieść była przekładana na język litewski (najwcześniej, bo już w 1890 r.), niemiecki, serbochorwacki, angielski, francuski, słowacki i czeski, a także na węgierski i hiszpański. Dewajtis został również adaptowany na scenę (w 1910 r.) oraz na słuchowisko radiowe (w 1969 r.).

Diaboliada. Powieść o tym, jak bliźniacy zgubili referenta
Michaił Bułhakow
Bułhakow odmalowuje biurokratyczną sowiecką rzeczywistość, wychodząc od humoru prowadzącego aż do absurdu, kończąc na pesymistycznym, tragicznym obrazie radzieckich realiów. Nasilenie dziwaczności, w którą uwikłany jest sowiecki człowiek, budzi skrajne emocje od chęci walki, która szybko przytłacza beznadzieją, aż do całkowitej uległości i bezradności wobec mechanizmów radzieckiej administracji.

Mary Cholmondeley
The Tempest family estate was long-standing, extremely wealthy, and passed from father to son through many generations; but complications arose in the late nineteenth century. These complications, and what they led to, are set forth in this marvelous tale, which has elements of the sensational novel and elements of the new womens romance mixed with a touch of family saga and romance.
E.M. Delafield
Behind this rather prim title lies the hilarious fictional diary of a disaster-prone lady of the 1930s, and her attempts to keep her somewhat ramshackle household from falling into chaos. Written with humour, this charming novel is full of the peculiarities of daily life. As witty and delightful today as when it was first published in 1930, Diary of a Provincial Lady is a brilliantly observed comic novel and an acknowledged classic.
Carolyn Wells
Dick and Dolly was published in 1909 and told in a manner which makes the story really true to young readers. It is the story of nine-year old orphan twins (brother and sister) who have to move from one aunts home to live with some other aunt in Connecticut. This transfer of their dwelling-place didnt bother Dick and Dolly much, for they were philosophical little people and took things just as they happened, and, moreover, they were so fond of each other, that so long as they were together, it didnt matter to them where they were. But to the two people who lived in the old Dana place, and who were about to receive the twin charges, it mattered a great deal. Although written over 100 years ago, the issues facing orphaned children and those who care for them are as timely today as they were then.

Thorne Smith
This early work by Thorne Smith was originally published in 1930. James Thorne Smith, Jr. was an American author who specialized in supernatural fantasy fiction under the byline Thorne Smith. Did She Fall? (1930) is a straight murder mystery whose dialogue shows occasional traces of Smiths wisecracking energy.

Unless, of course, you are the beautiful blonde, Emily-Jane. When she was bad, she was very, very bad, and when she was good, she was luscious until somebody killed her, or did she fall? So many would-be murderers, but only one would get to her first. Who will win out in the end?
