This story is about Hannibal Barca, who was compared to Julius Caesar. Virtually every family in Rome lost a family member because of Hannibal in the fifteen years he spent occupying Italy. He never lost a battle with the Romans in fifteen years of fighting them, and he was in the minority in each of their battles.This book is excellent to introduce you to one of the most important figures of the ancient world.
Hugh Walpole

Antonina Domańska
Powieść historyczna Antoniny Domańskiej rozgrywająca się w czasach panowania Kazimierza Wielkiego. Perypetie bohaterów ukazane są na tle zdarzeń przedstawiających rządy ostatniego z Piastów, któremu wdzięczna pamięć ludu nadała miano króla chłopów. Pisarka w sposób bardzo interesujący i trafiający do wyobraźni opisuje historyczną rzeczywistość i łączy ją z fikcyjnymi zdarzeniami. Dzięki wartkiej akcji, starannie odtwarzającej przeszłość, mamy wrażenie niejako przeniesienia się do tamtych odległych czasów. Zasługą pisarki jest też wzbogacanie utworu wątkami sensacyjnymi.
Max Brand
If you enjoy a fast moving western dealing with vengeance and well-deserved payback, youll like Happy Jack (1936) by Max Brand. One bullet was all it took to change Jack Anderson from a carefree boy into a hunted man. The plot is well constructed with well drawn subsidiary characters and provides a number of interesting twists and turns. The journey is the entertaining part. Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre. No pulp writer was more prolific than Frederick Faust, who wrote nearly 15 million words under the pen name of Max Brand and seventeen others. He sold all his stories and sometimes wrote complete issues of Western Story Magazine.
Happy Pollyooly. The Rich Little Poor Girl
Edgar Jepson
Happy Pollyooly: The Rich Little Poor Girl is a bride story. Jepson continues the story of his twelve year-old heroine, Mary Bride, known as Pollyooly. She is still acting as housekeeper to the Honorable John Ruffin, keeping his rooms spotlessly clean and grilling his bacon to the right turn. John Ruffin gets a windfall that enables him to take a seaside holiday. He takes Pollyooly and her brother along with him. Twice in the course of the story she is called to act the part of Lady Marion Ricksborough, the little peeress whom she so remarkably resembles, and in the second instance is instrumental in effecting a reconciliation between the duke and duchess, Lady Marions father and mother.
Fred M. White
Fielden and May happy married couple. One fine day, Fielden gets an autocatastrophe and disappears. May pretends that nothing has happened and everything is in order. She continues to move on. However, is everything so good? Has Fielden disappeared forever?
Charles Dickens
This is one of the most uplifting of Dickenss novels. This book is certainly different from all the other books by Charles Dickens as it has no particular central character. Well all the other novels by Dickens have a strong connection with London but this story depicts Coketown and Coketown only, a typical red-brick industrial city of the north. Hard Times is a very tragic and wonderfully described story of human oppression. Dickenss brilliant use of characterization can be seen in high form here and as always, his naming of his storys populace is entertaining by itself.
Hugh Walpole
Harmer John went to Italy to study art there. He was enraged by the desire to develop a plan to save the world. Life is a pure flame, and we live under the invisible Sun inside us... We all live in the cemetery of the innocent saints, as in the sands of Ayegipt; Ready to be anyone, in the ecstasy of eternity and be content with six feet, like Adrians moles. Will the main character be able to ask for his task?
Max Brand
In Harrigan, prolific writer Max Brand takes a detour from the dusty trails of the West where his novels were typically set and spins a gripping nautical tale set in Hawaii and upon the open sea. What starts out as a chance meeting between two men turns into a heated race for priceless treasure and the love of a remarkable woman. Thrown into each others path where one has absolute power and the other only his strength and his unconquerable spirit, who will survive and who will win the hand of the fair lady is a tale well told and guaranteed to hold your interest until the very last sentence.

Harvey Garrard, as his limousine crawled over London Bridge and turned into the dingy streets beyond, leaned forward in his seat looking out of the window with the half-weary anticipation of one who revisits familiar but distasteful scenes. There was a faint air of disgust in his expression as the well-known odours of the neighbourhood assailed his nostrils. Forty-eight hours ago he had been living in a paradise of mimosa and roses warmed by Riviera sunshine, his senses reacting pleasurably to the mild excitement, the music and the gaiety of Monte Carlo.

Havoc occurs when European countries are discussing covert alliances. The story revolves around the creation of a secret alliance between Germany, Russia, and Austria. The English hope to split Russia away by holding the Czar to his previous public commitments, but they need proof of what was done to create the pressure. All the pressures that lead to WWI are there, but the intrigues and secret treaties create an interesting background to the twists and turns of the plot.
Robert E. Howard
This early work by Robert E. Howard was originally published. Hawk of the Hills is a story in the El Borak series where El Borak leads a tribe to war in Afganistan. I recommend this book
Max Brand
Hawks and Eagles is the authors classic. The brand is a great storyteller who shows his enthusiasm for humans and animals, such characters as a professor, a small dog, and Mole. Joe Good, the protagonist, hes twenty years old. His father was killed by the richest man in the city, because he wants a good ranch not to be. A good, lazy, prickly guy who lacks a sense of respect and respect for everyone in the city. The only thing he can do is to handle a whip with such skill that he becomes almost alive. This story is also a story of the growth of kindness to become the most respected person in his community.
Robert E. Howard
Hawks of Outremer is a tight tale. The main character is Cormac FitzGeoffrey, a bastard Norman-Gael who has thrown his lot in with the Crusaders. Once a loose peace was established in Outremer, Cormac returned to Ireland but after a short stint fighting, peace broke out there, too. Cormac returns to the Holy Land (Outremer) seeking to attach himself to a liege, only to learn that his liege of choice has been assassinated. Plots are afoot between Muslims and Christian lords who want nothing to do with Saladin nor European kings. Rather than jeopardize the peace with an armed force, FitzGeoffrey vows vengeance and embarks solo to deal death to those who deserve it.
Harold Bindloss
In the fashion of the high prairie, romance and trust are acquired, lost, destroyed and acquired again... Sketchy mortgages and vague speculations will make us guess. The main character goes on a strange sea adventure to stop thinking about unhappy love. This is a story about a love triangle with unusual plot twists.
