About this listen
Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w czasach upadku dwudziestej dynastii w starożytnym Egipcie. Państwem zarządza Ramzes XII, uzależniony całkowicie od władzy kapłanów. Tymczasem kraj znajduje się w stanie kryzysu - zmniejsza się zaludnienie i wpływy finansowe, pogłębia się również zadłużenie państwa, pożyczającego ogromne sumy od Fenicjan. Młody następca tronu wyrusza w podróż, podczas której ma poznać kraj i zrozumieć przyczyny jego kłopotów. Kiedy po śmierci ojca zostaje nowym faraonem, Ramzesem XIII, posiada już pomysł na reformy, mogące przywrócić świetność Egiptu. Planuje je przeprowadzić bez udziału posiadającej znaczne wpływy kasty kapłańskiej, aby tym samym umocnić władzę faraonów. Nie docenia jednak wiedzy i siły przeciwników...

Story
Klasyczna pozytywistyczna powieść Elizy Orzeszkowej, ukazująca obraz polskiego społeczeństwa po powstaniu styczniowym. Tłem powieści jest świat dworów i zaścianków szlacheckich na Litwie, a głównymi motywami ciężka praca oraz praca u podstaw, polityka caratu wobec Polaków po powstaniach i przełamywanie konfliktów klasowych. Mieszkająca na dworze Korczyńskich Justyna Orzelska to uboga szlachcianka, która nieszczęśliwie zakochała się w swoim bogatym kuzynie Zygmuncie. Matka Zygmunta nie aprobowała jego związku z dziewczyną, więc ją porzucił.

Story
Epicka opowieść o kobietach poszukujących swojej tożsamości w czasach narodzin emancypacji. Prus przestawia bardzo zróżnicowaną galerię postaci kobiecych, z których każda inaczej postrzega swoją rolę w świecie. Mamy więc główną bohaterkę - Magdalenę Brzeską, naiwną, zagubioną altruistkę, którą przytłacza świat obłudy. Nie pomogą jej mądre rady profesora Dębickiego, alter ego pisarza. Madzia pracuje na pensji pani Latter - kobiety samodzielnie walczącej o swój byt, a jednocześnie żyjącej pod tyranią własnych dzieci, w tym pięknej Helenki.

Story
Wielowątkowa, diaboliczna opowieść o tym, jak szlachetne idee indywidualnej wolności, w umysłach ludzi na wolność niegotowych, kształtowanych w uściskach carskiego samodzierżawia, przeradzają się w idee nihilizmu, bezwładne rewolucyjne ruchy i terroryzm. Gęste od mrocznych emocji, mieszaniny obłudy i szlachetności, nienawiści i współczucia, niewinności i amoralnego cynizmu, są "Biesy" krzywym zwierciadłem.

Panoramiczny obraz państwa polskiego odradzającego się po latach niewoli. Cezary Baryka urodził się i wychował w pięknym, kosmopolitycznym Baku, w Imperium Rosyjskim. Choć oboje rodzice byli Polakami, mówił po rosyjsku znacznie lepiej niż po polsku. Gdy miał 14 lat, jego dostatnie i szczęśliwe życie przerwał wybuch I wojny światowej. Ojciec został powołany do wojska. W Baku wybuchła rewolucja, potem wojna Ormian z Tatarami, potem przyszli bolszewicy. Dom Baryków został kompletnie splądrowany, matka Cezarego umarła.

Jeden z najwiekszych polskich bestsellerów dwudziestego wieku! Trzy razy przeniesiony na ekran, z niezapomnianymi kreacjami glównych bohaterów, jakie stworzyli Roman Wilhelmi, Eugeniusz Bodo i Cezary Pazura. Pomimo uplywu czasu "Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy" jest aktualna w obecnej rzeczywistosci. Perypetie i blyskotliwa kariera polityczna niejakiego Dyzmy w humorystyczny sposób obrazuje ciemniejsza strone II RP gdzie znajomosci, dostep do salonów wladzy i korupcja stanowily podstawy kariery niejednego polityka.

A collector of strange machines. An enthusiast of skiing and sweets. A world famous fantasy writer who kept many secrets, even from his own family. What did he do with the unsuccessful versions of his books? What did he do to anger Philip K. Dick? How did he survive three occupations of Lviv? In a word: Stanisław Lem's life was out of this world. It's a story full of unexpected twists of fate, funny anecdotes, tragic events, small secrets, and big mysteries. It's the first Polish biography of Stanisław Lem, written by another science fiction writer, Wojciech Orliński.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
