Hyperionides. A Conservative Review of Current Affairs
Hyperionides is intended for people who have a high level of interest in current affairs, are generally well-informed, and choose to think independently. Hyperionides, meaning “son of Hyperion”, is an epithet of Helios, the Greek Sun-god. The review appeals to opening rather than to closing the intellectual discussion. Therefore, despite a small-c “conservative” orientation, it eschews having any particular political line. Rather, it re-invigorates the old style of discourse, where the content of ideas mattered more than formulaic declarations intended to demonstrate one’s moral superiority. The contents of No 1 exemplify the sort of thing that the review seeks to publish.

Melchior Wankowicz
In Melchior Wankowicz: Poland’s Master of the Written Word, Aleksandra Ziolkowska-Boehm examines the life and writing of famous Polish writer Melchior Wankowicz, author of legendary work “The Battle of Monte Cassino”. Acclaimed by his readers and critics alike, Melchior Wankowicz was famous for creating his theory of reportage, i.e. the “mosaic method” where the events of many people were implanted into the life of one person.

Her access to the author’s personal archives shed new light on the life and work of the man considered by many to be “the father of Polish reportage.”
Poland's Transformation
Poland has carried out two peaceful revolutions in the span of one generation: first, the self-limiting movement of Solidarity, which undermined the legitimacy of Communism and then a negotiated transfer of power from Communism to free market democracy. Today, while Poland is seen as a success story and is joining political and economic associations in the democratic West, Poles themselves seem downcast. They ask: is social anomie a price worth paying for a successful transformation? In making moral compromises with an outgoing tyranny, can one avoid cynicism and disappointment with democracy? Zbigniew Brzezinski, professor of American Foreign Policy at Johns Hopkins University has called Po...
