Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm
Previously, it never occurred to anyone to write down fairy tales. They were told to each other, passed down from generation to generation... and if not for scientists, such as the Grimm brothers, many stories would not have reached us. The reader is not only acquainted with the famous fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, but also learns what a fairy tale is, when it appeared and how it changed. He learns about the life of the brothers Jacob and William and about their difficult work on fairy tales.
Platon
Fajdros to kolejna, zaraz po Uczcie, wybitna rozprawa filozoficzna Platona. Za murami miasta, nad rzeką Illisos odbywa się rozmowa Sokratesa z Fajdrosem na temat mowy wygłoszonej wcześniej przez retoryka Lizjasza. Poruszają oni różne kwestie dotyczące nieśmiertelności duszy, jej wędrówki przez kolejne wcielenia. Pojawia się tu jedna z najsłynniejszych alegorii Platona dotycząca duszy jako wozu zaprzęgniętego w dwa konie rozsądek oraz pożądanie. Platon ustami Sokratesa próbuje również udowodnić przewagę mowy nad pismem.
Joseph Conrad
The tale begins, like many books about Konrad, with a group of travelers gathered together and exchanging maritime stories. Falk is subtle and minimalistic, and perhaps only the writer of the great Conrad can still do this; a calm, introspective story, which, however, is worth reading. This is a charming romantic tale in which Conrads usual gloomy, psychological fabrications, but evocative, but truly pedestrian story of a Marine... with a dark, primitive twist.

Robert E. Howard
Harrison is a brawny police detective who patrols the unquiet slums and dives of River Street, in an unnamed port city where the sun never shines. But REHs stories were far-removed from the mean streets of Hammetts and Raymond Chandlers stories in Black Mask. Like Skull-Face they owe more to Sax Rohmer and to REHs own contemporary horror stories.
