Reading (in) the Holocaust
The book deals with the issue of the Holocaust in the Polish literature for children and adolescents. Drawing upon some of the leading Polish authors of the twentieth and the twentieth-first centuries, the author reveals the historical, ideological, and cultural entanglement of their works. The main focus of the book is to search for reasons behind the outpouring of interest in the Holocaust noticed in the most recent Polish literature for younger readers. Among these reasons, the author lists the Polish local and historical context, the new approach to issues traditionally seen as taboo, the development of memory and postmemory narratives, and the postmodern shift from a discursive totality and universalist explanations.

Fatalne zauroczenie
Simon Lowe was a master of his craft. Handsome and charismatic, smart and urbane, he sought out and hunted down vulnerable women, usually women who had money and who craved the exhilaration of romantic love and the sex that goes with it. He told them what they wanted to hear, promised them love with the lot. This is Kay Schubach's story of what happened when she took the plunge with Simon, diving in recklessly to a new relationship and blowing up her life as she knew it. What she couldn't have foreseen was that Simon Lowe was a violent narcissist with a criminal history, who had done time for previous crimes against women. This is an insight into domestic violence in a place we don't expect to see it - Sydney with harbour views and a glass of French champagne. This extraordinarily candid account of what happened to Kay is like watching a car crash - terrible but impossible to look away.
