Polish-Jewish Relations 1939-1945
The following book was translated and published in English: Ewa Kurek, YOUR LIFE IS WORTH MINE - How Polish Nuns Saved Hundreds of Jewish Children in German-Occupied Poland, foreword by Prof. Jan Karski, New York 1998. She has also contributed articles in English that were published in Polin (Oxford: Institute for Polish Jewish Studies), Embracing the Other (New York University Press) and From Shtetl to Socialism (LondonWashington). Her research on the subject of Polish-Jewish relations in World War II in Poland has been presented at several international academic congresses, including Yad Vashem, Jerusalem (1988), Princeton University (1993), and Columbia University (2007). In the book POLISH-JEWISH RELATIONS 1939-1945; BEYOND THE LIMITS OF SOLIDARITY, Ewa Kurek reconstructs the wartime history based almost exclusively on Jewish sources. Like in her other books, Ewa Kurek has the courage to raise important questions and the courage to search for equally important answers.
Tadeusz Różewicz and Modern Identity in Poland since the Second World War
As Andrzej Mencwel observed, “as a result of fundamental historical changes” the need arises for “restructuring of the whole present memory and tradition system” (Rodzinna Europa po raz pierwszy). Changes of such significance took place in Poland during the Second World War and several following decades. Collective experience of that time was made up of – apart from political antagonisms – social and cultural phenomena such as change of elites, reinterpretation of their grand narratives (or symbolic world), the ultimate inclusion of the masses into the national project based on the post-gentry tradition and national history, the intensive development of urban lifestyle and the ex...

Od reminiscencji do realizacji „wielkiej idei”? Działalność polityczna Albańczyków na Bałkanach na przełomie XX i XXI wieku
Praca dr Agaty B. Domachowskiej jest pierwszą monografią we współczesnej polskiej bałkanistyce, która w sposób gruntowny omawia działalność polityczną oraz ogólne społeczno-kulturalne przemiany Albańczyków żyjących na Bałkanach poza granicami Albanii. […] Największą zaletą tej pracy jest jej syntetyczny charakter, albo – ujmując nieco inaczej – zebranie w jednym miejscu prawie wszystkich informacji dotyczących życia politycznego Albańczyków żyjących w kilku państwach powstałych na gruzach byłej Jugosławii. Z recenzji dr. Rigelsa Halili […] to dzieło bezsprzecznie nowatorskie, którego efekt poznawczy daleko wykracza poza zakreślony w nim obszar badawczy. Jest to pierwsza w znanej mi politologicznej literaturze światowej monografia poświęcona działalności politycznej mniejszości albańskiej na Bałkanach. Z uwagi na ten fakt, a także umiejętne użycie narzędzi metodologicznych do analizy tego procesu, w sposób istotny wnosi ona nowe treści do nauki i poszerza naszą wiedzę na temat procesów politycznych zachodzących na Bałkanach. Z recenzji dr. hab. Piotra Grochmalskiego, prof. UMK
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.
What She Left Behind
Half a million copies sold! The breakout novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan Collector, What She Left Behind weaves together riveting stories of past and present, exploring the strength of women in two different times as they face adversity in two very different ways. Go inside the horrifying walls of a 1920s New York asylum as a wrongly imprisoned woman fights for what is most important to her—and meet the young woman confronting the pain and mystery of her own family’s mental illness two generations later. Ten years ago, Izzy Stone’s mother fatally shot her father while he slept. Devastated by her mother’s apparent insanity, Izzy, now seventeen, refuses t...
Made in Sweden
What are the real Swedish Values? Who is the real Swedish Model? In recent times, we have come to favour all things Scandi — their food, furnishings, fiction, fashion, and general way of life. We seem to regard the Swedes and their Scandinavian neighbours as altogether more sophisticated, admirable, and evolved than us. We have all aspired to be Swedish, to live in their perfectly designed society from the future. But what if we have invested all our faith in a fantasy? What if Sweden has in fact never been as moderate, egalitarian, dignified, or tolerant as it would like to (have us) think? The recent rise to political prominence of an openly neo-Nazi party has begun to crack the illusion, and here now is Swede Elisabeth Åsbrink, who loves her country ‘but not blindly’, presenting twenty-five of her nation’s key words and icons afresh, in order to give the world a clearer-eyed understanding of this fascinating country …
