A spy, a dragon and a cook, or some classics in a book edition - a review of the book "The Adventures of Baltazar Gąbki. Trilogy"

The evening story about the adventures of the Wawel Dragon has become so embedded in my memory that even as an adult I can quote it at random. Did the book on which the animation was based delight me equally?

Scientifically about comics - review of "In the kingdom of Titus de Zoo. Cyclical picture stories in Poland in the years 1956-1967”

08.09.2023 Piotr Tomczuk 0

Adam Rusek is a researcher of the history of Polish comics, as well as the author of the Old Polish Comics series. This time he brings us closer to cyclical picture stories published in Poland in 1956-1967. If you think that the story will only concern Titus de Zoo, you are very wrong! Get ready for a scientific journey into the past.

When you think that nothing will surprise you... - a review of the book "The gift of anomaly. Book 1"

09.07.2023 Katarzyna Gnacikowska 0

Fantasy is a very broad literary genre, which often presents worlds completely different from everyday life. Something innovative is rarely encountered, and if it is, it is often an overcomplicated picture of reality, where the reader gets lost in who is who and what they do in a given book, or the world is vast, but so poorly described that it is not known where who is found. However, there are...

So nice that it's boring - a review of the book "Legends and Latte"

Advertised as a new kind of fantasy - Cozy Fantasy - Travis Baldree's book receives very positive reviews. But can fantasy without a gram of emotions be addictive?

Sometimes it's better to cut - a review of the book "Tarcza Szerni"

26.04.2023 Marcin Kłak 0

Tarcza Szerni is an interesting novel, unfortunately not without flaws. However, that's nothing to detract from it - it just needs some editing to make it really good.

Everyone has to go through a certain path to get to know themselves - a review of the trilogy about Nikita by Aneta Jadowska

18.04.2023 Jarosława Trzpis 0

Three volumes about the irreconcilable Nikita with beautiful new covers, published under the banner of SQN, make an incredibly attractive impression. But do the adventures of this character delight as much as the dust jackets?

09.02.2023 Agnieszka Czoska 0

Written in 1955, Isaac Asimov's book may seem like a sort of spin-off or Foundation alternative . Someone is shaping the fate of humanity again, but this time fixing it thanks to time travel. And all this from the perspective of Eternity…
