Autor nieznany

A cóż z tą Dzieciną... A cóż z tą Dzieciną będziem czynili,  Pastuszkowie mili, że się nam kwili?  Zaśpiewajmy Jej wesoło  I obróćmy się z Nią w koło,  Hoc, hoc, hoc, hoc.    Podobno Dzieciątko że głodne, płacze;  Dlatego tak z nami nierado skacze:  Więc ja Mu dam kukiełeczkę  I masełka osełeczkę,  Pa, pa, pa, pa.    Czy bez Matuleńki płacze Dziecina  Więc Ją do miłego zaprośmy Syna:  Mama, mama do Dziecięcia,  Utul tego płacz Panięcia,  Ma, ma, ma, ma.    Czy dlatego płacze ma Złota Duszka,  Że nie ma Józefa w domu staruszka:  Wiec Józefa zawołajmy,  I ciesząc Je, zaśpiewajmy:  Ta, ta, ta, ta. [...]Autor nieznanyAutor nieznany - hasło to odnosi się zarówno do utworów plastycznych i literackich, których autor pozostaje bezimienny, choć jest zapewne konkretną osobą, o której można by ustalić jakieś przypuszczalne informacje (jak np. o Gallu Anonimie czy Mistrzu Pięknej Madonny z Wrocławia), jak również do utworów będących najprawdopodobniej dziełem pewnej zbiorowości, np. cechu. W przypadku sztuk wizualnych szczególny rodzaj anonimowości zachowują autorzy tworzący w pracowniach wielkich mistrzów, wykonujący ich polecania, pomniejsze partie większych zamówień. Niemal detektywistyczne technologie, m.in.: badania wieku podłoża, prześwietlenie warstwy malarskiej podczerwienią, pozwalają współcześnie coraz lepiej identyfikować twórców. Czasami jednak można wskazać tylko krąg kulturowy twórcy, centrum artystyczne, pod którego wpływem autor tworzył oraz oszacować czas powstania dzieła. W przypadku literatury do dzieł o autorze zbiorowym zaliczyć można utwory ludowe lub niektóre dzieła starożytne, których powstanie ginie w mrokach dziejów: zrodzone w kulturze oralnej, były powtarzane i zapamiętywane przez kolejnych słuchaczy. Z czasem ktoś zapisywał zapamiętany utwór, niekiedy powstawało kilka niezależnych zapisów. Po epoce antycznej, kiedy twórczość miała zapewniać autorowi indywidualną, ,,imienną" nieśmiertelność - na początku średniowiecza za cnotę twórców uznawano anonimowość. Sztuka miała służyć chwale Boga, religii, kraju - instytucjom trwalszym od znikomego i mało istotnego jednostkowego bytu. Legendy, mity, wiele kronik czy pieśni - teksty ważne dla całych społeczności, to często dzieła, których autorów nie sposób wskazać.Kupując książkę wspierasz fundację Nowoczesna Polska, która propaguje ideę wolnej kultury.

A Crime of the Under-Seas

Guy Boothby

There is an old saying that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives, but as far as this is true, very few of us really understand. In the East, indeed, it is almost amazing. There are people involved in trade, some of whom are very profitable, about whom the world as a whole has never heard of, and which an ordinary Englishman, in all likelihood, would refuse to believe, even if the most reliable evidence had been provided before him.

A czy wiesz, dziecino miła... Wybór poezji patriotycznej dla dzieci

Maria Konopnicka

...Kochasz ty dom, rodzinny dom, Co wpośród burz, w zwątpienia dnie, Gdy w duszę ci uderzy grom, Wspomnieniem swym ocala cię? O, jeśli kochasz, jeśli chcesz Żyć pod tym dachem, chleb jeść zbóż, Sercem ojczystych progów strzeż, Serce w ojczystych ścianach złóż!... Piękne patriotyczne wiersze Marii Konopnickiej rozbudzały wrażliwość, krzewiły moralne wartości, takie jak męstwo, honor i odwaga. Poetka, tworzyła w czasie zaborów, napisała m.in. Rotę , która motywowała do walki o ojczyznę. W swym bogatym dorobku Konopnicka nie zapomniała jednak o najmłodszych czytelnikach. A czy wiesz, dziecino miła... jest dla nich drogowskazem wzrastania w postawie umiłowania ojczyzny.

A Daughter of Astrea

E. Phillips Oppenheim

BEHOLD! cried Sabul Ahmid, with an upward sweep of his bare, brown arm, behold the Sacred Temple of the people of Astrea! I stood up in the boat, my portfolio under my arm. High on the mountains side, crowning a thick mass of laurel undergrowth, and flanked by a grove of deep, cool, byana trees, was the building to which my servant was pointing. The material whereof it was fashioned I could not at that distance determine. Only in the broad, tropical sunlight it flashed forth, a glorious and spotless white, as flawless and perfect as the purest marble or alabaster. Little minarets rose from the flat roof; and flowering shrubs, planted along the mountain terrace above, drooped about it, a brilliant scintilla of purple coloring. My fingers began to crave for my pencil. I turned to my guide with beaming face.
