How can one start a fairy tale in the beginning, when it has so many beginnings, how many people it has in it? I do not see that these critics, who make up literary laws, have done a lot different than closing two thirds of the best fairy tales without letting them say about them. Anyway, as I say it; and as no one should listen, if he does not like it, I’m going to start where I enjoyed what is happening in Berlin. Germany, which I have been visiting for a long time after ...

Another probability lies in the rear. Raids from this Northwest border were so frequent for a thousand years that the invasi...

Początki powieści przygodowej sięgają XVIII wieku, a do jej klasyków zaliczani są między innymi Karol May, James Oliver Curwood czy James Fenimore Cooper. Jakie są cechy powieści przygodowej? Fabuła tych książek pełna jest dynamicznej akcji - nie ma tu miejsca na długie zatrzymanie i nic-nie-robienie. Bohaterowie najlepszych książek przygodowych z reguły są postaciami pozytywnymi, których charakter czasami wystawiany jest na próbę przez napotykane na drodze przeszkody. Często są oni przedstawiani jako wzory do naśladowania, które poprzez podejmowanie właściwych (choć czasem trudnych) wyborów wychodzą cało z wszystkich niebezpieczeństw. Cechy gatunkowe literatury przygodowej powodują, że z reguły nie ma tu czasu na pogłębione analizy motywacji czy psychologię postaci - liczy się przede wszystkim wartka akcja i dobra rozrywka czytelników. Wiele spośród najlepszych książek przygodowych to powieści dla dzieci i/lub książki dla młodzieży, takie jak ebooki wspomnianego już Juliusza Verne'a, uważanego za swoistego pioniera powieści przygodowej. Jego powieści "Dzieci kapitana Granta" czy "Podróż do wnętrza Ziemi" znajdziecie na Woblink także w wydaniach obcojęzycznych - po angielsku lub francusku.
Książki podróżniczo-przygodowe to wyjątkowe połączenie wojaży w dalekie, często nieznane kierunki i niezwykłych przygód przeżywanych przez głównych bohaterów. Do jednej z najpopularniejszych serii książek przygodowych tego typu w Polsce należą dzieła Alfreda Szklarskiego, który opisywał przygody Tomka Wilmowskiego. Ich akcja rozgrywa się na początku XX wieku i porusza wiele aktualnych ówcześnie tematów. Powieści te są więc nie tylko okazją do poznania nowych krain, ale także zapoznania się z historią. Wyruszcie w drogę z młodym poszukiwaczem przygód oraz z dobrym przyjacielem jego ojca, Janem Smugą, sięgając po dostępne na Woblink książki "Tomek w krainie kangurów", "Tomek u źródeł Amazonki" czy "Tomek na tropach Yeti!". Popularności dzieł Szklarskiego dorównuje seria "Pan Samochodzik" Zbigniewa Nienackiego. Powieści Henryka Sienkiewicza, Jacka Londona (na przykład "Zew krwi"), Anthony'ego Doerra ("Światło, którego nie widać") czy Roberta Harrisa ("Wielka ucieczka") udowadniają, że cechy gatunkowe powieści przygodowo-podróżniczej skutecznie można łączyć także z innymi typami twórczości literackiej.
Jakie więc są polecane książki przygodowe i podróżnicze, od których nie można się oderwać? Do klasyki powieści przygodowej zdecydowanie zaliczyć należy "Przygody Hucka Finna" Marka Twaina, "Wyspę skarbów" Louisa Roberta Stevensona" czy "Przypadki Robinsona Crusoe" Daniela Defoe. "Zaginiony świat" Artura Conana Doyle'a to z kolei powieść fantasy, której fabuła zainspirowała takie dzieła jak "King Kong" czy "Park Jurajski". Wyjątkowe połączenie gatunków prezentuje także Andrzej Pilipiuk w swoim cyklu "Norweski dziennik", przeznaczonym przede wszystkim dla młodzieży. Historia rozgrywa się w Polsce w połowie XX wieku i łączy niezwykłe przygody z elementami kryminału, a nawet fantastyki. Na tą wyjątkową trylogię składają się ebooki "Norweski dziennik. Ucieczka", "Norweski dziennik. Obce ścieżki" oraz "Norweski dziennik. Północne wiatry".
