- Zdecydowana większość pozycji książkowych traktujących o Europie Wschodniej koncentruje się na podkreślaniu dziwności, nienormalności, a nawet pewnej patologii tego obszaru. Autorzy opisują oczywiście uroki oraz piękno zwiedzanych miejsc, ale czytelnik po zakończeniu lektury rzadko kiedy miałby odwagę tam pojechać.

- A small work describes the whole life, the meaning of all life on this Earth.

- A good, old-fashioned story that would appeal to any fan of Jane Austen or Bronte. This takes place in St. John, NB. There are enough love interests, mysterious meetings, solemn balls and the necessary beautiful bouncer to pat all the hearts of young ladies. Indecision and murder provide the backdrop for this gothic novel.

- This is a scatter shot collection of short stories and poems that really have nothing to do with each other. Most of them come from Kipling’s early years, so some stories are good. Night Mail is the only science fiction; then there is a fantastic story about a haunted house, almost made up as a detective story, and in the less haunted genre, the couple moves to an old estate and finds that the bonds...

- Hawthorne’s use of the language is magnificent, and the premise was interesting. We get acquainted with the love triangle between the heiress of Ellen, the immature student Edward and the painful scientist Fanshaw, and everything starts to go south after the villain enters. The pacing of this novel goes beyond the strange and not in a good way. After the first half of the novel, all expectations disappeared,...

- A very good Christian book, which, nevertheless, speaks not so much about Christianity in itself, as about humanity, as the principle of life in general. If there were such a category as „social Christian romance”, then this book would be one of the most remarkable examples. The book is attractive and not only because of the description of a non-ideal world, but also because of the author’s attitude...

Even the poet, the creator of beautiful...
