Znak Publishers Rights Catalogue Autumn 2018 Znak Publishers Rights Catalogue Autumn 2018 Znak Publishers Rights Catalogue Autumn 2018 About ZNAK Established in 1959, ZNAK ranks as one of the most important Polish publishing houses. More than just a publishing house, for over 50 years ZNAK has provided a forum for important debate and has thus made a major contribution to Polish culture. ZNAK publishes about 300 new titles per year, and in the past three years our an- nual sales have reached nearly 9 million copies. Our titles have been translated into more than 15 languages and sold in more than 20 countries. Our portfolio includes Nobel Prize winners: Wisława Szymborska, Czesław Miłosz, J.M. Coetzee, Joseph Brodsky, Mario Vargas Llosa and Patrick Modiano.

Rowling, Lauren Groff, Donna Tartt, Lawrence Osborne, Katherine Boo, Andrew Miller, Hanif Kureshi, Jung Chang and Joan Didion. In order to better communicate with our readers, we established four imprints in 2010: ZNAK, Znak Horyzont, Znak Literanova and Znak Emotikon. ZNAK provides a unique combination of tradition and change, producing books that deserve the sta- tus of classics. Znak Horyzont provides thoroughly rewarding material to satisfy the most demanding readers, featuring major topics and leading names, wide-ranging scope and profound analysis. Znak Literanova is focused on contemporary voices dis- cussing current events and trends. Znak Emotikon is home to a number of the best children’s titles, such as Le Petit Nicolas by R. Goscinny and J-J. Sempé and The House of Secrets by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini. We see the future in the light of our fundamental ideals and our past, and con- sequently we are always looking for ways to further strengthen our position as the publisher of the best and the most stimulating books in Poland.

Polish President Andrzej Duda expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to fire upon the Shayrat Air Base in response to Syria’s use of chemi- cal weapons against civilians. Dozens of people, including children, were killed in the regime’s assault. “In the face of this act of unimaginable barbarity, the civilized world could not remain indifferent,” Duda said in a statement. “Poland strongly condemns crimes committed against ci- vilians and calls on the entire international community to engage even more strongly in the restoration of peace in Syria, to stop the madness of war and interrupt the spiral of violence.” POLAND HAS REJECTED SUGGESTIONS that it may be punished politically and financially by the European Union for not accepting refugee/migrants.

  • Catholic Poles in the USSR During the Second World War*
    Religion, State and Society, Vol. 22, No. 1, 1994 Catholic Poles in the USSR during the Second World War* J6ZEFGULA The first of September 1939 was a tragic day in the history of Poland: the German army invaded the country from the west. Within a short time, on 17 September, a second invasion took place: in close cooperation with the Germans, the Soviet army invaded from the east, and some 1,500,000 Poles were subsequently deported to prisons, concentration camps and exile in the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, all forms of religious life were systematically suppressed. Those who openly professed their religious faith qualified for prison and death. Thus the Poles, the vast majority of whom were religious believers, were an endangered species in Russia. Ironically, it was the Germap. invasion of Russia in June 1941 which helped to relax for a year the deadly yoke of this oppression. At the time of this invasion, over 100,000 of the exiled Poles enjoyed, one may say, a degree of religious freedom. Their camps became oases of religious life unique in the country; and they are the subject of this article. Introduction: the Historical Context The written history of Poland from the tenth century onwards shows a strong link between church and state. The adoption of Christianity from Rome is seen now not only as a result of the zealous work of missionaries but also as a calculated political decision by the reigning prince. By accepting the influence of Rome, the Polish Kingdom was 'westernised' and under the leadership of the Piast family incorporated into a Christian Europe.

    1: BORDERLANDS Perhaps appropriately for a secret agent, the deceptions and confu- sions that surround Christine’s life start with her birth.* One story has it that Christine was born at the Skarbek family estate on a stormy spring evening in 1915, and that her arrival coincided with the appearance of Venus, the evening star, in the sky. As a result she was nicknamed ‘Vesperale’. In an even more romantic version of events, she was born ‘in the wild borderlands between Poland and Russia’, to a family that was noble, ‘tough, used to invasions, warfare, Cossacks, bandits and wolves’.1 In fact Christine arrived in the world on Friday 1 May 1908. One of her father’s childhood nicknames for her was ‘little star’, but she was born at her mother’s family house on Zielna Street, in central Warsaw, now the capital of Poland. Then, however, Warsaw was technically in Russia. Poland as we know it today was not a recognized country: apart from a brief reappearance, courtesy of Napoleon, for more than a century Poland had been partitioned into three sections, each of them subsumed into the empires of Russia, Austro-Hungary and Prussia. Christine was born into a family of aristocratic patriots, loyal to a country that would not officially exist again until she was ten years old. She was a small and seemingly frail baby, so frail in fact that her parents feared for her life, and she was hastily baptized Maria Krystyna Janina Skarbek by a local priest less than two weeks after her birth.

Poprzez nie, autor stara się zwrócić uwagę na emocje żołnierzy i ich zróżnicowanie, w zależ- ności od wymiaru osiąganych zwycięstw. Przypomina mordercze walki o wzgórza Mont Ormel, dalej wyzwolenie mieszkańców Bredy z jednoczesną, rzadko w bojo- wych warunkach stosowaną, troską o zachowanie bezcennych zabytków architek- tonicznych miasta, następnie uwolnienie 1728 kobiet, żołnierzy AK – uczestniczek powstania warszawskiego, z jenieckiego obozu Stalag VI C w Oberlangen, wresz- cie kapitulację wojsk hitlerowskich w udekorowanym biało-czerwonymi flagami Wilhelmshafen, będącym dumą niemieckiej marynarki. Po trudnym, ponaddwulet- nim zarządzaniu polską strefą okupacyjną w niemieckiej Fryzji i księstwie Olden- burgskim – tzw. ,,Emslandzie” została ujawniona informacja o jałtańskiej zdradzie, z czym wiązało się cofnięcie uznania dla Rządu Polskiego na Wychodźstwie.

Is this 2020, or 1348 or 1665 or 1918 – or all of them perhaps? All, many or some of the above descriptions fit throughout history. Not much is ‘new’ then; and yet so much is. Our world is not the fourteenth century or the seventeenth; we live very different lives in a very different world…. and yet we wonder at the similarities while we contemplate the changes. History, the past, is ever present. This is what makes it such a fascinating, illuminating, useful and rewarding subject. The History department have been sharing their ideas for how to use the time in ‘lockdown’ to explore the subject more widely on a variety of levels. Browse the list below and you will find ideas to challenge, to educate, to entertain and to fascinate; some very academically focused, some for a more general audience, some very serious and some more light-hearted, some linked to the curriculum, some exploiting the chance to head in new directions.

  • Bronislaw Malinowski Contribution to Anthropology Pdf
    Bronislaw malinowski contribution to anthropology pdf Continue World-renowned social anthropologist, traveler, ethnologist, religious scholar, sociologist and writer. He is the founder of the school of functionalism, a supporter of intensive field work and a precursor to new methods in social theory. Malinovsky starts university in his hometown, Krakow, at the Faculty of Philosophy at Jagiellonian University. His Ph.D. thesis is entitled On the Economics of Thinking. Continues his studies at the London School of Economics. Malinowski spends most of his professional life in the UK, the United States and the islands of Melanesia. In 1914, he was able to obtain funds for research in the Islands of Trobriand. In the first stage of the journey he is accompanied by the famous Polish writer and artist Stanislav Vitkiewicz (Vitkatsy). However, Malinovsky's friend decides to return to Poland after hearing the news of the beginning of World War I. Malinowski continues his field work during subsequent trips to Australia and Oceania. In 1916 he received his doctorate from the University of London. He marries Elsie Masson, the daughter of Sir David Masson, who is a professor of chemistry at the University of Melbourne. They have three daughters: Yazef, Wanda and Elena. Malinowski spends a lot of time with his family at their home in Bolzano, Italy. In 1927 he became professor and head of the Department of Anthropology at the University of London. Two years later, he publishes the monograph The Sex Life of Savages in Northwest Melanesia. It continues to conduct its research in southern and eastern Africa.
