The book includes two works of English writer, a recognized classic of adventure literature Thomas Mein Reed - the famous novel "Headless Horseman" (1865-1866), made famous by its creator, and the story "Sea Wolf" (1859). Imbued with impressions and sentiments of young years, which the author spent in the United States, a romantic story about a noble Texas mustanger Maurice Gerald and a beautiful daughter of a planter Louise Poindexter, whose love is opposed to the intrigues of envious and sinister mystery of the headless horseman, bringing terror to the inhabitants of the savannah, and to this day captivates the imagination of readers in the homeland of Mein Reid, and around the world. The hero of "Sea Wolf", twelve-year-old Philip Forster, boyish craving for wanderlust and adventure leads on board the following from England to Peru merchant ship "Inca", where he sneaks away from the team. Hiding in the hold, buried alive among bales of cargo, crates and barrels, young Philip is forced to wage a constant struggle for survival - to overcome thirst, hunger, loneliness, fear of the dark, seasickness and fight the ship's rats. He has to use all his knowledge, skills and wit to fight his way up to freedom. The works are accompanied by classic illustrations by Nikolai Kochergin ("The Headless Horseman") and Leon Benett ("The Sea Wolf").
