Śmierć jest trudnym problemem, który nie oszczędza nikogo, także młodych ludzi, którzy od zawsze mieli prawo do żegnania się z umierającymi, wspominania ich oraz oswajania się ze śmiercią, na przykład poprzez czytanie baśni. Nie można jednak zapominać, że dzieci kojarzą się z początkiem życia, a śmierć jest jego końcem, więc umieranie przestało być tematem tabu w literaturze, gdzie coraz częściej stawia się śmierć jako główny wątek dzieł przeznaczonych dla dzieci i młodzieży. W swojej monografii udowadniam, że współczesna literatura dziecięca i młodzieżowa ukazuje śmierć jako zjawisko, którego nie należy się obawiać, co więcej, pokazuję, że w tego typu dziełach widoczne jest przyzwolenie na śmierć, gdyż umieranie to naturalna kolej rzeczy. Nie będę korzystać z innych źródeł, na przykład z Internetu, do którego dzieci mają w dzisiejszych czasach nieograniczony dostęp, aby udowodnić, że w książkach można znaleźć odpowiedź na wiele nurtujących i trudnych dla młodego czytelnika pytań.

This book explores and substantiates the role of cultural heritage as an engine for local socio-economic development. Starting from the assumption that cultural heritage represents a valuable, unique and irreplaceable resource for European regions, it identifies and quantitatively analyzes tourism and territorial identity as two different channels through which cultural heritage can influence local socio-economic development. The book highlights the fact that cultural heritage not only has a positive influence on local cultures, societies and environments, but also plays a role in the process of local economic growth. Providing comprehensive empirical evidence that explains and discusses whether and how the endowment of cultural heritage benefits local socio-economic growth, it will appeal to scholars and students of cultural economics and regional science, and anyone interested in sustainable socio-economic development.
