Bywords by Professor Jerzy Bralczyk is a rich digest containing over 300 most popular sayings. In a dozen themed chapters, with precision and wit, the author examines bywords in details. In the book, you will find out about what happens to the good, the bold and the sleeping. It will also tell you, whether it is better to have a full or an empty stomach, discover the secret to cats’ transformations at night or wolves’ favourite spot. Based on a dozen phrases, you will trace back the function of a witch, a fool and a devil in Polish, and perhaps look on them more favourably. Some of the sayings, accompanied by unmistakable drawings by Henryk Sawka, depict well-known situations from our everyday life, which can often be summed up with a phrase hindsight is 20/20 or history repeats itself.
