    Cosmos er det største og smukkeste skib, verden endnu har set. Det er ingen i tvivl om, da det sætter kurs fra Europa mod USA. Om bord er nogle af de fineste og mest interessante personer fra begge sider af Atlanten, og intrigerne ulmer under overfladen, mens de mange forskellige personer finder sig til rette i det nye mikrokosmos. Hvad ingen af dem kan forudse er, at Cosmos inden længe vil lide samme skæbne som Titanic, og at mange af dem aldrig vil nå Amerikas kyster."Det blå bånd" er en spændende fortælling, der viser os vidt forskellige menneskers reaktioner på en fælles krise – et forestående skibsforlis, hvor alle pludselig bogstaveligt talt er i samme båd. Bogen udkom første gang i 1938. Denne oversættelse er fra samme år.Bernhard Kellermann (1879-1951) var en tysk forfatter, der er kendt for sine fængslende romaner med interessante karakterskildringer og spændende plot.

    Morze zabiera wiele, lecz w swej hojności dwakroć tyle oddaje.Na jednej z wysp północnego morza, w osadzie wzniesionej z gałęzi, traw i piasku, żyje nieliczne plemię. Każdego dnia mężczyźni wyruszają na połów, by zapewnić pożywienie swoim rodzinom, kobiety zaś wyplatają z giętkich źdźbeł maty i kosze. Równowaga w osadzie zostaje zachwiana, gdy morze wyrzuca na brzeg wychudzonego człowieka zdobionego łuską ryby.Obcy zostaje powierzony opiece wyłączonej ze społeczności dziewczyny, razem z którą poznawać zaczyna wszystkie zwyczaje, tradycje i wierzenia. Kolejne miesiące pokażą, czy obecność przybysza okaże się błogosławieństwem czy przekleństwem, a społeczność, do tej pory jednomyślna i zgodna, będzie musiała odpowiedzieć sobie na fundamentalne pytania, których wcześniej nikt nie odważył się zadać...Przybył do nas zrodzony przez samo morze! Przybył do nas, zapomniawszy swojego imienia, byśmy przyjęli go, odzieli; byśmy nazwali go jednym z nas! Kto wyliczy łaski, jakie dla nas wyjednał, gdy jego łódź, sporządzona z drewna dobytego z toni, wchodziła pomiędzy fale, jak żadna spośród naszych niosła go w dół, w dół ku starej Ume? Tak! I my wobec niej staniemy! Kto z nas powróci jednak na te same brzegi? On jeden powracał! Jemu jednemu zostało to darowane! Płynął ku głębinom, niosąc nasz głos, podobny do tlących się węgli – powracał ku górze, niosąc głos potężniejszy od wielkiego ognia; głos samego morza!Maksymilian Dzikowski – ur. 23.08.1991 r. w Szczecinie.

    "Omoo" è il secondo romanzo di Melville; è un libro pieno di umorismo, ma anche una favola allegorica sull’incontro e lo scontro fra la civiltà e il mondo incantato delle isole polinesiane.Racconta di una baleniera sgangherata comandata da un capitano incapace, di una ciurma di personaggi squinternati, di ammutinamenti, incarcerazioni, incontri, amicizie e battibecchi con isolani e missionari di ogni genere. Sullo sfondo, la vita di bianchi e indigeni nei Mari del Sud.Questo audiolibro è stato realizzato in collaborazione con Edizioni Clichy.Herman Melville (1819 – 1891) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e critico letterario statunitense.I primi romanzi, narrazioni di avventure nei Mari del Sud, conobbero un notevole successo, facendolo diventare uno dei più conosciuti e apprezzati autori di storie marinaresche. La sua popolarità declinò dopo la pubblicazione di "Moby Dick" (1851), nonostante fosse stato accolto con favore dai recensori inglesi. Alla sua morte, Melville era quasi completamente dimenticato. "Moby Dick", da molti ritenuto il suo capolavoro, fu riscoperto solo nel 1921 e oggi è considerato una delle opere fondamentali della letteratura mondiale.

    Depuis quelques jours, le navire Le Chancellor qui fait voile vers la Caroline du Nord, avec à son bord une cargaison de coton et vingt-huit matelots, semble prendre une trajectoire qui inquiète tous ses passagers. Si tout le monde se met à douter de la santé mentale du capitaine, de terribles évènements obligent l'équipage à agir vite : un incendie ravage les soutes, et une soudaine tempête pousse le navire sur de dangereux rivages. Bientôt, il ne reste du Chancellor qu’une quinzaine d'hommes sur un radeau, portés par le vent au hasard des courants, cernés par les requins. Alors que les moins résistants meurent, les survivants découpent les cadavres pour attraper du poisson...Rédigé sous la forme d'un journal de bord et depuis la perspective d'un passager, ce roman d'aventures en huis clos s'inspire du fait réel qui défraya la chronique au XIXe : l'épisode tragique de la Méduse.Jules Verne (1828-1905) est l’auteur de près de quatre-vingts romans, et un incroyable précurseur de la science-fiction.

    Mellem d. 1. maj og 1. juni 1916 foregik et af historiens største søslag - ud for Jyllands kyst. Siden første verdenskrigs udbrud to år tidligere stod det klart, at den tyske og engelske flåde ville støde sammen, og derfor var hele verden spændte, da det skete. To år efter slaget lykkedes det Carl Vilhelm Theodor Heiberg at samle så mange oplysninger, at det var muligt at skrive en bog om, hvordan kampene foregik. Bogen er hovedsageligt baseret på de to landes officielle rapporter og kommunikeer, og den gennemgår både de årsager, der førte op til slaget, samt selve flådernes opbygning og strategi. Endelig udfoldes slaget time for time. Tabene var store på begge sider. Omtrent 10.000 mistede livet, men begge nationer udråbte sig efterfølgende som sejrherre.Carl Vilhelm Theodor Heiberg (1846-1924) var en dansk søofficer og forfatter.

    "Non volevo legarmi all’Isola. La mia libertà doveva rimanere intatta, perché la fortuna era ancora da cercare" ... Poco dopo le guerre napoleoniche, in una ex colonia genovese recentemente conquistata dal Portogallo, il marinaio Paolo Soligo gestisce una miniera d’argento acquistata anni prima in un impeto di ingenuità giovanile. Nonostante le premesse assai poco rassicuranti, tuttavia, quella che doveva essere una truffa si è rivelata, invece, un autentico affare, e il giovane è riuscito ad arricchirsi in breve tempo. Ma la ricchezza vale ben poco, di fronte alla prospettiva di riprendere il mare per una nuova avventura. Le Isole – come la colonia è soprannominata – si trovano continuamente in balia di un gruppo di pirati dall’identità indefinibile: ribelli che si oppongono al dominio lusitano? veterani francesi in cerca di un nuovo brivido di guerra? Chissà...Giuseppe Fanciulli nasci a Firenze nel 1881.

    Rispolverando il fortunato protagonista del suo romanzo d’esordio – risalente al 1865 – Anton Giulio Barrili ci riporta nel mondo colorito del capitan Dodéro, che stavolta racconta le prodezze vissute da suo padre Giovan Battista, gran viaggiatore che aveva affrontato ogni sorta di avventura fra Istanbul, l’India, la Cina e il Giappone. Con il divertito sguardo di un grande narratore, Barrili scandisce così, in una serie di episodi che hanno quasi del picaresco, le tappe di una storia intrisa di esotismo, dal fascino immortale. Come un nostrano Melville, ricorrendo alla sua penna così visionaria, l’autore ci mette in guardia dall’inseguire sogni irraggiungibili. Per citare Guido Mazzoni, che ne introdusse l’edizione del 1929, "Non siamo tutti dei cacciatori che, durante la vita, da un capo all’altro, andiamo in cerca di un merlo bianco?".Anton Giulio Barrili (1836-1908) nasce a Savona. Laureatosi in Lettere e Filosofia a Genova, nel 1859 si arruola volontario nell’esercito piemontese, partecipando a varie campagne militari al seguito di Garibaldi. Nel corso della sua vita, segnata dall’esperienza risorgimentale, fonda due riviste (L’occhialetto e Il Caffaro) e collabora come redattore al San Giorgio. Assume inoltre la direzione delle riviste Il Movimento (1860) e La Domenica Letteraria (1884). È stato autore di poesia e di commedie, firmando inoltre una cinquantina di romanzi.
