Contemporary Polish Writing in Translation
Justyna Daniluk zaprasza na dyskusję z Piotrem Czerwińskim,
autorem powieści, organizowana przez Swiat Ksiazki Polska.
Książka – jak pisze Czerwiński – opowiada o turystach, ponieważ
wszyscyśmy turyści i każdy podróżuje. Niektórzy nie wracają
z podróży i to jest dokładnie taki rodzaj turystów, o
których jest ta książka. Ponadto opowiada o szaleństwie,
too, bo tylko walnięci turyści kupują tickety w jedną stronę,
tak jak my. Szaleństwo, tak myślę, to kinda największy sport
dwudziestego pierwszego wieku.
Swoje poezje – komentarze współczesności zaśpiewa i zagra Paweł Gawroński.
Ta joj!

Dalager’s empathy with his subject is fervent and he is a skilled writer , having accrued a distinguished reputation in Europe with five novels and a number of plays.
Michael Faber, The Guardian
How was it possible for Stig Dalager to write about the last years of the story of David in such a shocking and convincing way that one should think that this was written by Isaac B. Singer or one of the other Polish-Jewish geniuses?
Jewish Information Magazine
Dalager has written a shockingly relevant historical novel, a tautstory of international standing and appeal. A monument to our ownshame, at that time and now.

The philosopher and writer Krystin Lach-Szyrma came to Britain in 1820 as tutor to two Polish princes, as their Grand Tour took them to Enlightenment Scotland, where they spent two years studying at Edinburgh University. After a short tour of continental Europe they returned in 1822 to England to enjoy the delights of London and observe its monuments and people.
Over a period of 18 months they visited prisons, hospitals and factories as well as art galleries and museums and were entertained by individuals of the calibre of Elizabeth Fry and Robert Owen. The philosopher and his princely charges familiarised themselves with the Houses of Parliament the Stock Exchange and Westminster Abbey, but were also intrigued by London’s inns and theatres. Looking at the capital’s financial, religious and academic institutions, they analysed its class system and law-and-order problems, pondering such issues as the origins of the term ‘Cockney’ and the nature of English breakfasts.
Translated for the first time, Lach-Szyrma’s record of London life retains its original freshness and offers new insights into the rapidly evolving city.

Water. Foam leaving behind unnamed jelly upon stones and shells. Glands. Malignant growths. Noise when waves hit the shore. No. No, no shimmering sounds, no gull song. No friendly kind of spray. Noise. Screams. A wild look, through semi-shut eyelids. Dank breath loaded with salt. A giant sky-blue smooth-skinned creature, as yet unwritten upon. Read the rest of this entry »
