A contemporary witch on the trail - review of the book "These witches do not burn"

16.03.2021 Ines Załęska-Olszewska 0

Isabel Sterling's debut novel is based on well-known patterns, but, importantly, it does not fully disqualify her. The author of the novel These witches do not burn boldly tried to cast a spell on the readers and encourage them to read. Was it worth it? I hope this review will help you find the answer to that question.

"When the mind sleeps, the demons wake up" - review of Maciej Głowacki's Songs of Chołów

06.03.2021 Eliza Sicińska 0

Pieśni Chołów is a very Polish fantasy - there are Janusz and Grażyna, there is cynicism, there is a village, there is a sarcastic scientist from the great world who does not understand strange local customs and is for the better. There is an intertwining of ancient wisdom and godliness with modern ignorance. It is "when you fear it to God." There is "don't judge a book by its cover." After...

Words from another time - review of Ursula K. Le Guin's Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching: A Book About the Way and the Power of the Way

The name of the great Ursula Le Guin is most often associated with the Earthsea and the worlds of Ekumen. We forget, however, about her numerous poems or essays, and about a large number of purely philosophical texts. Księga Drogi i Dobra is an example of such a work. What is it about exactly? You will learn this from this text.

The novels of the Strugacki brothers are science fiction stories. Is it worth going back to classic stories despite the passage of many years?

Between us cannibals. Review of the book "Wyborny corp"

08.02.2021 Agnieszka Czoska 0

Don't be fooled by the cute tooth print on the cover - this book is a serious thing, often on the verge of disgusting. After all, we have a dystopia where the only meat available is very special ...

Gloomy corridors, forgotten tunnels. Whispers of the dead in the basement of Russian cities. Mutants climbing from the contaminated surface. All this is the hallmark of the Metro series . However, we will not experience any of these elements in the Path . So what does the author deign to us?

19.01.2021 Ines Załęska-Olszewska 0

The novel The Eye of Horus , which premiered on November 12, 2020, stands on a shelf marked with a sensational plaque . I looked at her for a long time. I was wondering who the author is, whose world of fiction combines sensational elements and ... elements of Egyptian mythology. As it turns out, it is Jolanta Czemiel, who debuts with the novel Protektor .

On the border of Legendarium - a review of the book “Gospodarz Giles z Ham. Blacksmith from Przylesie Wielki. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil ”by JRR Tolkien

18.01.2021 Mikołaj Mielczarek 0

I know that a lot of time has passed since the premiere, but due to the busy schedule, I had no time and place to read the latest revival of Tolkien's prose by Zysk. However, Christmas is a more relaxed time, and I decided to recall three of the amazing Tales from the Dangerous Kingdom. So how did this book compare to the older edition? And how good is the translation? This review will answer...
