Bruno Jasienski

Bruno Jasieński was a bilingual Polish-Russian writer who died in exile in Siberia in 1939. This volume traces his literary evolution. The introductory biographical sketch is followed by a discussion of Jasieński's contribution to Polish poetry, specifically the Futurist movement which, like its parallels in Russia and Italy, revolutionized poetic language. An analysis and evaluation of Jasieński's prose work sheds light on the relationship between politics and literature in early twentieth-century Poland and Russia. Most of Jasieński's novels and short stories were written in the approved Soviet tradition of Socialist Realism. His Man Changes His Skin is considered one of the best Sovie...

Aleksandr Deineka (1899-1969): An Avant-Garde for the Proletariat is the first exhibition and publication to present this outstanding figure of socialist realism - and, by extension, the historical period from which his work was borne - in a twofold context: the end of the avant-garde and the advent of Soviet socialist realism. It covers Deineka's entire oeuvre, from his early paintings of the 1920s to the twilight of his career in the 1950s, when the dreamlike quality of his first works gave way to the harsh materiality of everyday life, the life in which the utopian ideals of socialism seemed to materialize. Combining Deineka's graphic work, extraordinary posters and celebrated contributions to illustrated magazines and books with his imposing monumental paintings, this catalogue displays a variety of subjects: factories and enthusiastic masses, athletes and farmers, the ideal and idyllic image of Soviet life.

"Bezwzględna despotka czy oświecona reformatorka? Perwersyjna kochanka czy szukająca miłości dziewczyna? Okrutna władczyni czy mądra imperatorowa? Caryca Katarzyna miała wiele twarzy. Matka uczyniła jej dzieciństwo nieszczęśliwym. Patologiczny związek z infantylnym mężem sprawiał ból. Katarzyna przecierpiała wszystko, ponieważ miała przed sobą konkretny cel: chciała zostać cesarzową imperium. Osiągnęła potęgę, która pozwalała jej wynosić kochanków do rangi władców lub strącać ich z tronu, obsypywać złotem albo bezlitośnie pozbawiać życia. Podbijała i niszczyła narody, a jednocześnie była kochana przez filozofów. Katarzyna Wielka. Portret kobiety to historia pełna intryg, tajemnic dworskiego życia i dylematów władzy. Robert K. Massie stworzył porywającą opowieść o jednej z najważniejszych kobiet w historii Polski i Europy. Ta książka to dowód, że historyczna prawda jest bardziej pasjonująca niż literacka fikcja! "
