Dziennikarz, który wiedział za dużo. Dlaczego Jarosław Ziętara musiał zginąć?
Znika dociekliwy dziennikarz. W tle służby specjalne. To nie powieść – to rzeczywistość, która przerasta fikcję. Vincent V. Severski Jarosław Ziętara zaginął 1 września 1992 roku. Młody reporter „Gazety Poznańskiej” rozpracowywał poznańskie afery gospodarcze. Dotarł do przekrętów, do których dochodziło w największym polskim holdingu początku transformacji – Elektromisie, założonym przez Mariusza Ś., późniejszego twórcę Biedronki i Żabki. Ziętara kopał zbyt głęboko i poniósł za to najcięższą karę: jak ustaliła prokuratura, został uprowadzony i zamordowany. Biznesy z lat 90. zamieniły się w gigantyczne spółki, a skazanych za zabicie Zięt...
Watercolours
A many-layered work of historical reportage, Watercolours draws on the real life story of Dina Gottliebova-Babbitt (1923-2009), a Czech-American artist of Jewish ancestry, who was a prisoner at Auschwitz, and whose story came to light in the late 1990s. It was at this time that Gottliebova attempted once more to recover the art she had created in the concentration camp, and which had become the property of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. The dispute escalated into an international scandal, with the American Department of State and the Polish government becoming involved. Here, journalist Lidia Ostalowska reconstructs Gottliebova's time in the camp, while looking also at broader issues o...
Dreams and Stones
Dreams and Stones is a small masterpiece, one of the most extraordinary works of literature to come out of Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of communism. In sculpted, poetic prose reminiscent of Bruno Schulz, it tells the story of the emergence of a great city. In Tulli’s hands myth, metaphor, history, and narrative are combined to magical effect. Dreams and Stones is about the growth of a city, and also about all cities; at the same time it is not about cities at all, but about how worlds are created, trans- formed, and lost through words alone. A stunning debut by one of Europe’s finest new writers.
The Causes of Evolution
J.B.S. Haldane (1892-1964), one of the founders of the science of population genetics, was also one of the greatest practitioners of the art of explaining science to the layperson. Haldane was a superb story-teller, as his essays and his children's books attest. In The Causes of Evolution he not only helped to marry the new science of genetics to the older one of evolutionary theory but also provided an accessible introduction to the genetical basis of evolution by natural selection. Egbert Leigh's new introduction to this classic work places it in the context of the ongoing study of evolution. Describing Haldane's refusal to be confined by a "System" as a "light-hearted" one, Leigh points out that we are now finding that "Haldane's questions are the appropriate next stage in learning how adaptation can evolve. We are now ready to reap the benefit of the fact that Haldane was a free man in the sense that really matters."
