Title of the week
A collection of 35 poems by Janusz Szuber, a distinguished poet from Sanok, on his home town and the Bieszczady Mountains. Supplemented with photographs by Tadeusz Budziński.
The Stare Powązki (Old Powązki) Cemetery in Warsaw is like a magnificent album of national memory. It is there that were laid to rest the most eminent Polish artists, writers, scientists, statesmen, industrialists, and those who gave their lives for Poland’ s freedom.
This unique album features four most magnificent historic residences of Polish kings: the Wawel Castle in Cracow, and the Wilanów Palace, Royal Baths Park and Royal Castle in Warsaw.
Lovers of old Warsaw and particularly its Praga borough will be delighted with this album. A collection of so far unpublished photographs of Praga in the 1970s, it features the residents of the borough ad other varsovians in social situations, and especially in the unique, now legendary milieu of the Różycki and Szmulek Bazaars, which constituted the semi-legal business underbelly of communist Poland.
A unique book showcasing the beauty of Polish landscape with its treasures of nature, traces of tradition and history and the abundance of historical places as well as the images of today’s Poland and how it is developing.
This album on Polish museums, compiled under the guidance of Dorota Folga-Januszewska, a distinguished expert on the subject, presents the history, present-day situation, and future prospects of Poland’s museums, focusing on the principal institutions and their collections, their most treasured exhibits, and new ideas in museum development.
What did Polish roads, towns, villages look like a hundred year ago? What faces and clothes did the lens of an old camera catch? What events, customs, and places have been preserved in the yellowish, faded photographs found in the State Archives? Just open this album to see.
A collection of texts on film history, vibrating with passion and anecdote, by Poland’s favorite film expert, Stanisław Janicki, whose “Classic cinema” programs for years used to be the staple on national television. The feuilletons gathered here were originally broadcast by the RMF Classic radio as
„Motherland is the land and the graves”, and „nations by losing memory, are losing life", and the memory of nations is preserved in the stone cities of their dead – the necropoleis, which record our past.
