Ryszard Kapuscinski
Reporting from such varied locations as postcolonial Africa, revolutionary Iran, the military dictatorships of Latin America and Soviet Russia, the Polish journalist and writer Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski was one of the most influential eyewitness journalists of the twentieth century. During the Cold War, he was a dauntless investigator as well as a towering literary talent, and books such as The Emperor and Travels with Herodotus founded the new genre of ‘literary reportage’. It was an achievement that brought him global renown, not to mention the uninvited attentions of the CIA. In this definitive biography, Artur Domos?awski shines a new light on the personal relationships of this intensely c...
The Journals Of A White Sea Wolf
In 1991 Mariusz Wilk, a Polish journalist long fascinated by the mysteries of the Russian soul, decided to take up residence in the Solovki islands, a lonely archipelago lost amid the far northern reaches of Russia's White Sea. For Wilk these islands represented the quintessence of Russia: a place of exile and a microcosm of the crumbling Soviet empire. On the one hand, they were a cradle of the Orthodox faith and home to an important monastery; on the other, it was here that the first experimental gulag was built after the 1917 revolution. Over the course of years Wilk came to know every single one of the islands' 1000 or so residents. From his remote home, from which he sent regular despatches to the Paris-based Polish newspaper Kultura, he attempted to observe and come to terms with the complexities and contradictions of Russian history, its glorious past and the cruelty of Soviet Communism. In the process, he has written a most unusual travel book, a beautifully descriptive work that belongs in the best tradition of writers such as Norman Lewis, Patrick Leigh Fermor and Claudio Magris.

Lodz Judaica in old postcards
"Książka zawiera kilkadziesiąt zdjęć prezentujących życie społeczności żydowskiej w Łodzi na początku XX wieku. Album ukazuje specyficzny koloryt miasta, które było jednym z największych skupisk ludności żydowskiej na ziemiach polskich. Na kartach książki odnajdujemy świat, którego już nie ma - nieistniejące ulice, domy, synagogi. Poznajemy sylwetki najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli społeczności żydowskiej. Stare fotografie oddają magię ziemi obiecanej, monumentalność jej fabryk, szpetotę przedmieść i niezwykły urok kamienic. = The book contains several dozen pictures, presenting the life of the Jewish community in Łódź at the beginning of the 20th century. The album renders the distinct color of the town, which used to be one of the largest Jewish centers on the Polish lands. Pages of this book reveal a world that exists no more -non-existing streets, houses, synagogues. We learn about most prominent members of the Jewish community. The old photographs render the magic of the "Promised Land", the monumentality of the manufactures, the ugliness of the suburbs and the extraordinary beauty of the tenement houses."--
