Recepcja twórczości Samuela Becketta w Polsce
Recepcja twórczości Samuela Becketta w Polsce to publikacja o doniosłym znaczeniu. Jest pierwszym systematycznym opracowaniem tematu, jakie ukazało się od 1990 roku, i stanowi punkt zwrotny. Siedemdziesiąt lat obecności Becketta w polskiej kulturze nakreśla dostatecznie szeroką perspektywę, aby stwierdzić, że współcześni przestają patrzeć na niego z pozycji karła. Piedestał, na którym zwykło się go umieszczać, burzą nawet ci, co go wznieśli. Czyżby w tej partii szachów po raz pierwszy powiedziano pisarzowi: mat? Bezcennym walorem książki są rozbudowane aneksy, w których zgromadzono informacje o wszystkich polskich inscenizacjach i utworach muzycznych inspirowanych tekstami Becketta. Skompilowano w nich także wykaz festiwali i seminariów beckettowskich. W części bibliograficznej czytelnik odnajdzie ponadto nigdy wcześniej niepublikowany, kompletny spis dzieł autora oraz listę ich przekładów na język polski.
Jewish Bialystok and Surroundings in Eastern Poland
"Countless men and women around the world today think of themselves as "Bialystokers," whether by birth or inheritance. In recent years, growing numbers of them have taken the trouble to make their way to northeastern Poland to visit - or revisit - the region that has been called "the heart of European Jewry," This Guide for Yesterday and Today is for them, as well as for students everywhere of the lost Jewish heritage of Poland. At the outbreak of World War II, more than three-quarters of all the Jews in the world either lived in Poland, or on former Polish lands, or were descendants of Jews who had lived there. The city of Bialystok alone counted at least 50,000 Jews, and refugees from the...
20 Ground-Breaking Directors of Eastern Europe
Directors have long been the main figures on Eastern European stages. During the last three decades some of the most outstanding among them have risen to international stardom thanks to their ground-breaking productions that speak to audiences far beyond local borders. Not by chance, a considerable number of these directors have won the second-biggest theatre award on the continent – the European Prize for (New) Theatrical Realities. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the top directors of the region have been pushing contemporary theatre as a whole ahead into new territories. This book offers informative and in-depth portraits of twenty of these directors, written by leading critics, scholars, and researchers, who shed light on the directors’ signature styles with examples of their emblematic productions and outline the reasons for their impact. In addition, in two chapters the selected directors themselves discuss their artistic family trees as well as the main stakes theatre faces today. The book will be of interest to theatre scholars, students, and anybody engaged with theatre on a global scale.

Robot
The first English-language publication of one of the greatest Polish science fiction novels of all time 'We have given you life ... so that you could discover a fraction of the great secret.' Is BER-66 a human or a robot? His controllers, known as 'the Mechanism,' tell him he is a living machine, programmed to gather information on the inhabitants of the strange underground world he finds himself in. But as he penetrates its tunnels and locked rooms, encountering mysterious doppelgangers and a petrified city, he comes closer to the truth of his existence. Considered one of the most important Polish science fiction novels of all time, Robot is a haunting philosophical enquiry into the nature of our reality and our place in the universe. 'An instant classic which catapulted Snerg to the rank of Poland's best sf authors' Science Fiction Encyclopedia
Poetic Revelations
This book explores the much debated relation of language and bodily experience (i.e. the 'flesh'), considering in particular how poetry functions as revelatory discourse and thus relates to the formal horizon of theological inquiry. The central thematic focus is around a 'phenomenology of the flesh' as that which connects us with the world, being the site of perception and feeling, joy and suffering, and of life itself in all its vulnerability. The voices represented in this collection reflect interdisciplinary methods of interpretation and broadly ecumenical sensibilities, focusing attention on such matters as the revelatory nature of language in general and poetic language in particular, the function of poetry in society, the question of Incarnation and its relation to language and the poetic arts, the kenosis of the Word, and human embodiment in relation to the word 'enfleshed' in poetry.
