George Orwell and Communist Poland is the first major account of George Orwell’s Polish reception during the Second World War and the Cold War era. It shows how Orwell, the epitome of a censored writer in the Soviet bloc, enjoyed a fulsome reception both outside and within communist Poland. It does so by developing a tripartite framework to study reception in conditions of state-imposed censorship, where three modes are likely to develop in response: émigré, official and clandestine.The book thus brings to light Orwell’s overlooked relationships with Polish exiles who informed his work and looked upon him not only as a writer but also a personal friend and political ally. They eagerly translated his works and sought multinational promotion, even behind the Iron Curtain. The volume argues that Orwell also experienced official reception, smuggled into state-controlled culture in officially accepted ways. Additionally, communist censorship files reflect his reception within the state apparatus. Finally, the book examines passionate clandestine responses to Orwell's writing and myth in diaries and letters from as early as under Stalinism and explores Orwell’s popularity among underground publishing networks, which enabled his works to become bestsellers.The book draws on sources in foreign languages and previously unseen material, including Orwell’s ‘lost’ letters to Teresa Jelenska, the Polish translator of Animal Farm. The volume significantly broadens our understanding of Orwell’s life, work and legacy. It also contributes to discussions in English literature and comparative literature, literary exchanges, translation, reception and censorship and East European studies.
When the aging demon emperor gives his children an ultimatum, Prince Valdir launches a brutal campaign to claim the crown. At his side if the war hero known as the Sword of Nour; Cliona Sangaria. Together, they wage war across the realms in the name of conquest and glory. But with every victory, the cost grows higher - and Cliona begins to see the true price of Valdir's ambition. Torn between honour and conscience, and haunted by a past she cannot forget, Cliona must decide where her loyalty lies - because in a world ruled by power and blood, loyalty can become the deadliest sin of all. A Court of Blood is the second installment in The Eighth Sin, a dark fantasy series filled with war, sacrifice and the corruption of power. For readers who want to experience the story chronologically, this installment can also be read first.
This book examines the function of repetition in the work of Walt Whitman, Wallace Stevens and John Ashbery. All three poets extensively employ and comment upon the effects of repetition, yet represent three distinct poetics, considerably removed from one another in stylistic and historical terms. At the same time, the three are engaged in a highly interesting relation to each other - a relation readers tend to explain in terms of repetition, by positing Whitman and Stevens as the two alternative 'beginnings' out of which Ashbery emerges. Krystyna Mazur analyses the work of the three poets to discern patterns that may operate across a relatively broad spectrum of examples, as well as to consider the variety of ways in which repetition can structure a poetic text.

True story from the major motion picture "In Darkness," official 2012 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1943, with Lvov's 150,000 Jews having been exiled, killed, or forced into ghettos and facing extermination, a group of Polish Jews daringly sought refuge in the city's sewer system. The last surviving member this group, Krystyna Chiger, shares one of the most intimate, harrowing and ultimately triumphant tales of survival to emerge from the Holocaust. Originally published as The Girl in the Green Sweater, In Darkness is Chiger's harrowing first-person account of the fourteen months she spent with her family in the fetid, underground sewers of Lvov. In Darkness is also the story of Leopold Socha, the group's unlikely savior. A Polish Catholic and former thief, Socha risked his life to help Chiger's underground family survive, bringing them food, medicine, and supplies. A moving memoir of a desperate escape and life under unimaginable circumstances, In Darkness is ultimately a tale of intimate survival, friendship, and redemption.

It's Milwaukee, it's the 60s and parents can't rely on internet searches, cell phones or emails to keep tabs on their kids. Secrets are easily hidden and the Miszewski kids are pros, especially the youngest, Kazia, who learns how to cover her tracks when she crosses the viaduct.
Shadownose was a lonely soul, a soul who was trying to find someone who would love him. He did not mean any harm to the girls or to any other human being. What he wanted was a toy. He believed that one day he would find a toy that would burst into life and would speak and become his friend. Shadownose lived under the floor of the local library. He stored a huge collection of toys there. Among them, buried in the piles of other soft toys, was Eve's teddy bear. Many nights he sat there motionless with a gloomy, sad face, waiting for a miracle to happen. But none of the toys moved. None of the toys spoke to him. There was a huge, lonely silence ...just him and the soulless toys.
