The book starts in late Victorian England and ends shortly after the first world war. It covers the transition between the end of the Victorian era, and the aimlessness of the next generation very well.

The Ambassadors – ebook
Henry James
The novel comes from what is called James’s ‘late period’. The writing is mannered, baroque, complex, and focused intently on the psychological relationships between his characters. There is very little ‘plot’ here in the conventional sense. Much of the interest in the narrative is centred on the limitations of the principal character, from whose point of view the story is told. Lambert Strether is...Data dostępności:

Panowie Salem – ebook
Rob Zombie
W przeszłości miasto Salem nie cieszyło się dobrą sławą. Miejsce to spowiły mrok i strach. Krąg gorliwych wyznawców szatana rósł w siłę, a oddane mu wiedźmy szerzyły diabelski kult, plugawiąc wszelkie świętości. Łowcy czarownic srodze je osądzili i ukarali. I choć na stosie spłonęła ich ludzka powłoka, zło przetrwało i czekało uśpione... Aż do dziś! Tajemnicza płyta zespołu o nazwie Panowie odtworzona...Data dostępności:
