V jednom zo svojich najrozsiahlejších príbehov, po ktorom už takmer storočie siahajú starí i mladí, Jack London pútavo rozohráva motív priateľstva v drsných podmienkach krásnej, ale zradnej aljašskej divočiny. Hoci jeho hrdina Biely tesák pochádza zo samého jej srdca, musí sa podriaďovať nielen vlčím, ale i ľudským zákonom. Na vlastnej koži spoznáva dobro i zlo spolu s necnosťami koruny tvorstva, ktorou nazýva sám seba človek. Prežitie vo večne sa meniacich podmienkach nezávisí len od jeho inteligencie, ale predovšetkým od schopnosti prispôsobiť sa podmienkam vo vlčej či ľudskej svorke. Všade - v prostredí bielych nehostinných hôr a plání, v povodí rieky Mackenzie medzi Indiánmi, v surových rukách Krásavca Smitha alebo v rodine Scottovcov v teplej Kalifornii - získava nové poznatky o príkorí a nespravodlivosti, ale aj o láske spoločnej všetkým živým tvorom.

Mladý kupec Bassanio premrhal všetok svoj majetok a zo zložitej situácie mu pomôže len sobáš s krásnou Portiou. Ak sa však chce uchádzať o jej ruku, potrebuje peniaze. Jeho priateľ, vážený kupec Antonio sa zaňho zaručí u starého úžerníka Shylocka a hoci potrebné peniaze pre Bassania získa, dostane sa do ťažkostí, lebo pôžičku nedokáže vrtátiť včas. Chamtivý Shylock trvá na dodržaní podmienok dohody a cena, ktorú má Antonio zaplatiť, je naozaj vysoká.

O žene, ktorá sa vybrala do Talianska, Indie a Indonézie, aby tam našla všetko... Krátko po tridsiatke mala Elizabeth Gilbertová všetko, po čom túži zvyčajne moderná Američanka – manžela, dom na vidieku, kariéru –, ale namiesto pocitov šťastia a naplnenia sa jej zmocnil panický strach a zmätok. Táto múdra a strhujúca kniha je príbehom o tom, ako zanechala všetky vonkajšie znaky úspešného života, aj o tom, čím ich nahradila. Po rozvode a zdrvujúcej depresii sa rozhodla preskúmať tri stránky svojho charakteru na scéne troch kultúr: v Taliansku hľadala pôžitok, v Indii zbožnosť a na indonézskom ostrove Bali rovnováhu medzi svetskými radosťami a božskou transcendenciou. Pôvabný, inteligentný a mimoriadne zábavný príbeh rozpráva autorka s vervou, humorom a prenikavým pohľadom, ktorým priťahuje ľudí ako magnet. Je to zarytá cestovateľka, skvelá rozprávačka, pričom terčom jej jedovatého humoru je často ona sama.
