In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.

  • Number 65 a Polish Anniversary
    Eastern Star Journal of the New Europe Railway Heritage Trust, helping railway preservation in the New Europe March 2017 Number 65 A Polish Anniversary The Bieszcady Forest Railway celebrates its 20th anniversary Bieszcady Railway train of semi-open carriages created from bogie-bolster freight wagons Photo Andrew Goltz On1st/2nd October 2016 NEHRT member Nick Fletcher (based in Warsaw) together with Andrew Goltz and Andrew's son Conrad, paid a visit to two interesting Polish narrow gauge lines in the Carpathian mountains: the Bieszczady Forest Railway and the Przeworsk Railway. The occasion for the trip was the 20th anniversary of the Bieszczady Forest Railway foundation that now runs the former line. Nick writes: The Bieszczady Forest Railway is located in the south-east corner of Poland near to the Slovakian frontier. It is a 750 mm former logging railway running for 21 km through the scenic Bieszczady mountain region. It has now established itself as an extremely successful tourist attraction taking advantage of the popularity of the Bieszczady as a tourist destination. It runs a daily service during the summer holidays and a twice-a-week service during the winter. The line was originally built in 1890-1893 as a 760 mm line when the Bieszczady region was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. The two world wars wreaked havoc and destruction on the line. In the 1950s, the railway was rebuilt as a 750 mm line with much of its main line re-routed onto a new alignment with easier gradients. At its peak, the total length of the line (main line and branches) was 104 km.
