Zeromski's last novel tells the story of Cezary Baryka, a young Pole who finds himself in Baku, Azerbaijan, a predominantly Armenia city, as the Russian Revolution breaks out. He becomes embroiled in the chaos caused by the revolution, and barely escapes with his life. Then, he and his father set off on a horrendous journey west to reach Poland. His father dies en route, but Cezary makes it to the newly independent Poland. Here he struggles to find his place in the turmoil of the new country. Cezary sees the suffering of the poor and the working classes, yet his experiences in the newly formed Soviet Union make him deeply suspicious of socialist and communist solutions. Cezary is an outsider among both the gentry and the working classes, and he cannot find where he belongs. Furthermore, he has unsuccessful and tragic love relations. The novel ends when, despite his profound misgivings, he takes up political action on behalf of the poor.
Numer poświęcony zagadnieniu sensu życia. Sens życia | Spis treści Suplement diety na zdrowy sens > Adam Grobler Stefan Themerson w powieści Tom Harris wielokrotnie powtarzał, że sensem ludzkiego życia jest poszukiwanie sensu życia. Egzystencjalizm głosi, że jest to zadanie beznadziejne. Ulżyć cierpieniom stąd płynącym może jedynie uświadomienie sobie rozpaczliwego położenia.

Numer poświęcony zagadnieniu tajemnicy życia. Spis treści Przypadkowa przyczyna życia > Jerzy Dzik Procesy zachodzące w organizmach mają fizyczną bądź chemiczną naturę. Nie znaczy to, że biologię da się zredukować do fizyki i chemii. Wynika z tego jednak, że choć nie da się kontaktu z absolutem nawiązać na gruncie biologii i pozostaje to domeną fizyki, to istota życia klarownie objawia się na poziomie odpowiednio uporządkowanych reakcji chemicznych, czyli fizjologii. Emergencja życia > Robert Poczobut Kontrowersje dotyczące natury oraz genezy życia należą do najstarszych w historii filozofii. Pośród licznych stanowisk, jakie sformułowano na przestrzeni wiekó...
Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero was first published in Polish as Quo vadis. Powieść z czasów Nerona. Among Henryk Sienkiewicz’s inspirations was the painting Nero’s Torches (Pochodnie Nerona) by fellow Pole Henryk Siemiradzki; the painting, which depicts cruel persecution of Christians, serves as the cover art for this ebook edition.

Sienkiewicz used the historical basis of the novel as an opportunity to describe in d...
