The Moment and Other Essays – ebook
Virginia Woolf
From the first essay of volume: The Moment and Other Essays, a multi-layered portrait of a summer evening in the English countryside in the company of friends, we are delighted with Wolfe’s perception and her ability to articulate them clearly. A series of sensory descriptions – the rumble of an airplane, the night darkness of an night, the flight of an owl – give way to a thought no less important,...Data dostępności:

The Cossacks – ebook
Leo Tolstoy
The main character of the story, Dmitry Olenin, is close to the author both in spiritual experience and in moral aspirations. Like Tolstoy, he finds himself in the Caucasus in an attempt to start a new life, „"in which there will be no more mistakes, there will be no remorse, and probably there will be only happiness."” But instead of imagining paintings on the way to the Caucasus in the spirit of...Data dostępności:

Both belong to the same circle of birth, but the financial affairs of a man are in somewhat better condition.

Septimius Felton – ebook
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Septimus Felton talks about the thirst for eternal life. Gothic, and sometimes irresistible, is the last book of this author. He changes the roles of the characters and spreads the story, which becomes mysterious and ambiguous. Inside the novel is a story about a bleeding shadow, like a collection of what is in the book.Data dostępności:

Old Friends an New Fancies – ebook
Sybil G. Brinton
This is a continuation of the story of Jane Austen. It develops slowly and comes to an amazing outcome. Among the large number of characters Darcy paid the most attention, but Brinton also did a wonderful job of reviving Kitty Bennett. This book shows that we don’t always have to like people.Data dostępności:

Mosses from an Old Manse and Other Stories – ebook
Nathaniel Hawthorne
An early collection of fairy tales. Some of the subtle, almost subconscious problems that Hawthorne faces with female sexuality. Like the stories, these plays often do not follow the traditional dramatic arcs that can disappoint, but Hawthorne is always more interested in character than plot, so you just need to abandon any expectations of high drama and sometimes enjoy the amazing revelations that...Data dostępności:

The Dolliver Romance – ebook
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Dr. Dolliver, a worthy character of great antiquity. A person’s desire for an immortal existence, an attempt to satisfy which would be stated in various ways: first, through the selfish old sensualist, Colonel Dabni, who greedily grabbed the mysterious elixir and took his draft so that he died on the spot; then, through the plain old Grandir, longing to live for Pansy; and, perhaps, through Pansy herself,...Data dostępności:

The Gypsy Queen’s Vow – ebook
May Agnes Fleming
There was nobody on the road except herself. Late time – after all, it was almost midnight – and an increasing storm kept pedestrians at the door of that gloomy March night. From time to time she passed cottages in which lights were still burning, but most of the houses were shrouded in silence and darkness. And still during the night, and the storm, and the gloom, – the wanderer answered, with ruthless...Data dostępności:
