Chapter: 69 | Listen: 9

Czegóż tu nie ma! Intrygi, romanse, pojedynki, skarby w głębokich jaskiniach, cyganie i piękne księżniczki, tajne stowarzyszenia, przygody zwariowane i niesamowite, opowiedziane ze swadą, humorem, zadumą; tuziny wątków wyrastających jedne z drugich, przeplecione w niemożliwym, wspaniałym bałaganie. Historia tej książki jest niemniej fascynująca niż jej treść. Potocki zaczął ja pisać w roku 1804. W rok później opublikował część tekstu, jednak nadal nad nim pracując, aż do swojej samobójczej śmierci w 1815 roku. Dwie skrócone wersje i jedna kompletna, na której jest oparte to nagranie, zostały opublikowane pośmiertnie. Części francuskiego oryginału zaginęły, zachowało się jedynie polskie tłumaczenie Edmunda Chojeckiego wydane w 1847 roku, które jest uznane za kanoniczna wersje i podstawę do przekładów na inne języki.

Chapter: 18 | Listen: 2

Frederick Marryatin Merirosvo on meriaiheinen seikkailukertomus, joka kertoo kaksoisveljien tarinan. Se sijoittuu 1790-luvulle, jolloin laivat olivat puuta ja miehet rautaa! Kirjan alussa kerrotaan Sirkassian-laivan haaksirikosta, josta pääsee lähtemään pelastusveneellä osa matkustajista, muutaman jäädessä vielä laivaan. Kuitenkin vain laivaan jääneet, joihin kuuluu kaksi mustaa palvelijaa, mies Coco ja nainen, imettäjä Judy, sekä pieni, englantilaista syntyperää oleva poikavauva, lopulta pelastuvat. Heidät lähetetään Herra Witheringtonin luo Englantiin, koska pelastuneen poikavauvan äiti on hänen serkkunsa. Mutta mitä tapahtui pelastusveneelle, missä oli muiden mukana lapsien äiti ja toinen kaksonen? Miten merirosvot liittyvät asiaan? Kirja on vauhdikas ja siitä ei puutu juonenkäänteitä eikä vaarallisia tilanteita. Marryat on itse toiminut meriupseerina, joten hän tietää mistä kertoo, meriaiheiset yksityiskohdat on kerrottu totuudenmukaisesti. Ja vaikka Merirosvossa käytetään usein varsin vanhanaikaista kieltä, kirja käsittelee rodullista epätasa-arvoa nimenomaan ikävänä ongelmana. – Summary by Harri Tapani Ylilammi     [chương_files]

Chapter: 36 | Listen: 1

My story will take you into times and spaces alike rude and uncivil. Blood will be spilt, virgins suffer distresses; the horn will sound through woodland glades; dogs, wolves, deer, and men, Beauty and the Beasts, will tumble each other, seeking life or death with their proper tools. There should be mad work, not devoid of entertainment. When you read the word Explicit, if you have laboured so far, you will know something of Morgraunt Forest and the Countess Isabel; the Abbot of Holy Thorn will have postured and schemed (with you behind the arras); you will have wandered with Isoult and will know why she was called La Desirous, with Prosper le Gai, and will understand how a man may fall in love with his own wife. Finally, of Galors and his affairs, of the great difference there may be between a Christian and the brutes, of love and hate, grudging and open humour, faith and works, cloisters and thoughts uncloistered—all in the green wood—you will know as much as I do if you have cared to follow the argument. – Summary by Maurice Hewlett     [chương_files]

Chapter: 32 | Listen: 4

De Ellendigen is een vertaling van Les Miserables, een sociale roman, met een sterke moraal. Hugo neemt het in zijn werk op voor de paria’s in de 19e-eeuwse maatschappij en richt in een vlammende aanklacht tegen de samenleving en haar ‘meedogenloze’ wetten. Valjean is de incarnatie van het lijdende proletariaat, die een reeks eindeloze beproevingen moet ondergaan alvorens loutering en dood te vinden. Dit is het eerste van de vijf delen. Genoemd naar een van de hoofdpersonen: Cosette de dochter van Fantine. – Summary by Marcel Coenders     [chương_files]
