Salamandra

Stefan Grabiński

Polski mistrz opowiadań grozy próbuje swoich sił na dystansie powieściowym. Z powodzeniem! W życiu młodego mężczyzny, Jerzego, pojawia się coraz więcej dziwnych, niewytłumaczalnych wydarzeń. Zupełnym przypadkiem bohater wciąż natrafia na tego samego, nieznanego sobie mężczyznę. Niezależnie od pory dnia pod mostem mija trzyosobową grupkę osób ustawionych w identycznych pozach. Na domiar złego w postaci jednej ze spotkanych zakonnic rozpoznaje oblicze swojej narzeczonej. Za dużo zbiegów okoliczności, by mógł to być zwykły przypadek. Rzeczywiście, już wkrótce Jerzy zostanie wciągnięty w tajemny świat okultyzmu, czarnej magii, hipnozy i satanistycznej metafizyki. Miłośnicy horroru w stylu Lovecrafta koniecznie powinni sięgnąć po tę książkę.

Salamandra

Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer

Salamandra Przez obcy szedłem las — posępny stał;  ciemniał w nim dzień — wilgotne mchy  słały się u mych nóg, z nadwodnych skał  zwisały zimne, brudne, ślisko szły  w parowów głąb. Potoku pienny nurt  po progach wył wzdłuż drogi, to znów cichł,  z kamiennych w toń się przelewając furt.  Wśród gonnych drzew tu owdzie, jakby mnich  (dalekich Tatr widziadło), karli smrek,  obrosły gąszczem konarów aż do stóp,  w milczeniu stał i ciszy leśnej strzegł.  I nic nie rwało jej; jak ciemny grób  milczał ten las, tonąc w ponury mrok.  Tam szedłem sam — szeleścił w ścieli krok,  to patyk trząsł, to bełkło trzęsawisko.  Gdziem był? — tak, wiem: ja byłem ludziom blisko,  ale mój duch, jak niegdyś na Jeziorze  Królewskim, zszedł z kolisk ludzkiego świata,  i wszystkie w tłum zbiegły się ku mnie lata,  przeżytych dni, przeżytych godzin morze...  Wszystko, com czuł, czegom przepragnął w życiu,  zbiegło się ku mnie w tłum — wszystkie tęsknice, chęci;  widziałem tam, jak pasmo wzgórz w odbiciu  kliszy: zebrane współ epoki mej pamięci.  I moja krew, i mózg mój, i marzenia,  porywy duszy, woli mojej sny,  nadzieje, wiary: wśród tego milczenia  ozwały się, przyszły i ze mną szły  mówiące do mnie, w mrok. [...]Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer Ur. 12 lutego 1865 w Ludźmierzu Zm. 18 stycznia 1940 w Warszawie Najważniejsze dzieła: Na Skalnym Podhalu (1910), Legenda Tatr (1912); wiersze: Eviva l'arte; Hymn do Nirwany; Koniec wieku XIX; Prometeusz; Lubię, kiedy kobieta; Widok ze Świnicy do Doliny Wierchcichej; Pieśń o Jaśku zbójniku; List Hanusi. Poeta, jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli polskiego modernizmu (Młodej Polski); spośród jego obfitej twórczości poetyckiej najistotniejsze dla historii literatury pozostają wiersze z drugiej (1894), trzeciej (1898) i czwartej (1900) serii Poezji, oddające ducha dziewiętnastowiecznego dekadentyzmu, pesymizmu egzystencjalnego, a także fascynacji myślą Schopenhauera i Nietzschego oraz mitologią i filozofią indyjską, które właściwe było pokoleniu Tetmajera, szczególnie młodopolskiej bohemie. Tetmajer zasłynął ponadto jako autor śmiałych erotyków, a także piewca górskiej przyrody Tatr i popularyzator folkloru podhalańskiego; pisał również dramaty (Zawisza Czarny, Rewolucja, Judasz), nowele i powieści (Ksiądz Piotr; Na Skalnym Podhalu; Legenda Tatr; Z wielkiego domu; Panna Mery). Był przyrodnim bratem Włodzimierza Tetmajera, stanowił prototyp postaci Poety z Wesela Wyspiańskiego. Jego ojciec, Adolf Tetmajer, brał udział w powstaniu listopadowym i styczniowym; matka, Julia Grabowska, należała do tzw. koła entuzjastek, literatek skupionych wokół Narcyzy Żmichowskiej. Podczas studiów na Wydziale Filozoficznym Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego (1884-1886) zaprzyjaźnił się z Lucjanem Rydlem, Stanisławem Estreicherem i Ferdynandem Hoesickiem. Zajmował się twórczością poetycką i pracą dziennikarską w "Kurierze Polskim" (współredaktor 1989--93), "Tygodniku Ilustrowanym", "Kurierze Warszawskim" i krakowskim "Czasie". Przez wiele lat pełnił funkcję sekretarza Adama Krasińskiego (wnuka Zygmunta, zajmującego się wydawaniem spuścizny autora Nie-Boskiej komedii) i w tej roli przebywał w Heidelbergu (1895). W czasie I wojny światowej był związany z legionami Piłsudskiego (redagował pismo "Praca Narodowa"); po wojnie wdał się w spór polsko-czechosłowacki o linię graniczną w Tatrach, był organizatorem Komitetu Obrony Spisza, Orawy i Podhala oraz prezesem Komitetu Obrony Kresów Południowych. W 1921 został prezesem Towarzystwa Literatów i Dziennikarzy Polskich, a w 1934 członkiem honorowym Polskiej Akademii Literatury. Drugą połowę życia poety naznaczyła choroba. Powikłania wywołane kiłą doprowadziły najpierw do zaburzeń psychicznych (które ujawniły się już podczas obchodów 25-lecia jego twórczości w 1912 r.), a w późniejszym czasie do utraty wzroku. Pod koniec życia Tetmajer egzystował dzięki ofiarności społecznej, umożliwiono mu mieszkanie w Hotelu Europejskim w Warszawie, skąd został eksmitowany w styczniu 1940 r. przez okupacyjne władze niemieckie. Zmarł w Szpitalu Dzieciątka Jezus z powodu nowotworu przysadki mózgowej oraz niewydolności krążenia. Jest pochowany na Cmentarzu Zasłużonych w Zakopanem; na warszawskich Powązkach znajduje się jego symboliczny grób.

[...]Stefan GrabińskiUr. 26 lutego 1887 w Kamionce Strumiłowej Zm. 12 listopada 1936 we Lwowie Najważniejsze dzieła: Demon ruchu (1919), Księga ognia (1922) Jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli przedwojennej polskiej fantastyki, nazywany "polskim Edgarem Allanem Poe". Absolwent Uniwersytetu Lwowskiego (filologia klasyczna i literatura polska). Za życia zyskał krótkotrwałą popularność dzięki opowiadaniom, które i dziś są uznawane za trzon jego twórczości, zdecydowanie ważniejszy niż powieści. Doceniony został jednak przez Karola Irzykowskiego, a po wojnie przez Artura Hutnikiewicza. Grabiński interesował się okultyzmem, stąd jego twórczość pełna jest duchów i zjawisk nadprzyrodzonych. Charakterystyczny jest jednak fakt, że zjawiska te dzieją się zwykle we współczesnej, realistycznie oddanej scenerii. W Demonie ruchu obszarem, w jakim się pojawiają, jest symbol nowoczesności - kolej. Również język Grabińskiego oscyluje między realizmem a poetycznością (sam autor był wielbicielem twórczości Bolesława Leśmiana).

Salamandra. Powieść fantastyczna

Stefan Grabiński

Salamandra to powieść fantastyczna, która bohaterem jest niejaki Jerzy. Człowiek ten ustawicznie spotyka wciąż tego samego, nieznanego mu osobnika. Co więcej, jego pojawianie się jest poprzedzone złudzeniem dostrzegania jego twarzy w fizjonomii całkiem niepodobnych przechodniów. Wkrótce Jerzy poznaje tajemniczego osobnika i się z nim zaprzyjaźnia. Od tej chwili w życiu bohatera pojawia się kalejdoskopowa mieszanina zjawisk niesamowitych i przerażających. Mamy tu między innymi sataniczną metafizykę, obrządki magiczne, hipnozę, letargi i najprzeróżniejszą masę okultyzmu.

Salambo

Gustave Flaubert

Pierwsza wojna punicka dobiegła końca. Choć władze Kartaginy zatrudniły tysiące najemników, nie spieszą się z wypłatą żołdu. W obozie żołnierzy rośnie napięcie. Jeden z nich Matho przewodzi grupie, która w ramach buntu pustoszy ogrody pałacu wodza Hamilkara. Żołnierze zostają wygnani poza miasto, gdzie mają oczekiwać zapłaty. Wkrótce docierają do nich niepokojące wieści, które prowadzą do oblężenia Kartaginy. Mieszkańcy zostają odcięci od świata. Na ulicach panuje głód. Jakby tego było mało, Matho wykrada z Kartaginy święty zaimf, co jeszcze mocniej podsyca strach wśród lokalnej społeczności. Salambo córka Hamilkara, za namową kapłanów, udaje się do namiotu Matho, by odzyskać przedmiot kultu.
