Julian Tuwim
During the years 1918 to 1920, Julian Tuwim (1894-1953) burst upon the Polish literary scene like a firework. An 'enfant terrible', no poet, Polish or English (with the exception, perhaps, of Lord Byron) whose name, at an early age, came to excite the reading public so suddenly. His reputation having since undergone many changes among literary critics both before his untimely death and beyond, Tuwim remains, however, the poet most recognised as 'unusual', most quoted and discussed by Polish readers. This notwithstanding, he seems to be these days recognised more for his undoubtedly superb poems for children than for his lyric verse.

Antisemitism and Its Opponents in Modern Poland
Antisemitism and Its Opponents in Modern Poland serves as an effective guide to some of the most complex and controversial issues of Poland's troubled past. Fourteen original essays by a team of distinguished Polish and American scholars explore the different meanings, forms of expression, content, and social range of antisemitism in modern Poland from the late nineteenth century to the present. The contributors focus on both the variations in antisemitic sentiment and those Poles who opposed such prejudices. Central themes of this significant, balanced, and timely contribution to a contentious and often emotional debate include the deterioration of Polish-Jewish relations in the era of national awakening for both the Poles and the Jews, the meaning of the various forms of violence against the Jews, intellectual movements in opposition to antisemitism, the role of the Catholic Church in promoting antisemitism, and the prospects for the Church to atone for this shameful chapter in its recent history.
Caviar and Ashes
This history of the generation of Polish literati born at the end of the 19th century tells of the young avant-gardists of the early 1920's who become the radical Marxists of the late 1920's. It traces the journey through futurist manifestos, Nazi genocide and Stalinist terror from literary cafes to prison cells.
