Bug z Tobą. Historie o życiu i śmierci na wsi nadbużańskiego Podlasia

Dorota Filipiak

O KSIĄŻCE: Są na świecie rzeki większe i miejsca ciekawsze. Jednak to nad tą rzeką jest coś, co sprawia, że chce się tu być i żyć. Ta rzeka to Bug - niezwykła, dzika, prawdziwa - a miejsce to Podlasie nadbużańskie. Tam, gdzie jest Bug wszystko staje się niezwykłe, nawet mała cicha wieś, do której dobrze się wraca z najdalszych podróży. Na nadbużańskim Podlasiu Bug nas prowadzi. Jak przed wiekami prowadził osadników z Mazowsza, Litwy i Rusi. Bug zawsze był. I gdy w okolicznych wsiach unici modlili się w swoich ubogich cerkiewkach, w miasteczkach Żydzi prowadzili niewielkie interesy, a arystokracja budowała pałace i folwarki. Bug trwał - w czasie pokoju i w czasie wojen. Niejedno widział, niejedno wie, niejedno pamięta. A gdy przysiąść na brzegu, to opowie. Ta książka to historia domu w małej nadbużańskiej wsi, który mnie wybrał i kazał odkryć swoje tajemnice. Te ukryte w ogrodzie, na łąkach i w lesie, a przede wszystkim nad najwspanialszą polską rzeką. Znaleźć tu swój dom, to być wybrańcem fortuny. Ale dom to nie tylko ściany i meble. To najbliższe otoczenie - stary sad, jego mieszkańcy - i dalsza okolica. To sąsiedzi - ludzie, zwierzęta. I cała przyroda, którą również trzeba poznać i zrozumieć. Prawdziwy dom to to, co jest tu i teraz, ale i to co było. Trwały dom stoi na fundamencie przeszłości, a tworzą go ci, którzy byli i żyli tu wcześniej. Wczoraj, przed dekadą, przed wiekami. Ci, których wszyscy pamiętają i ci, o których pamięta już tylko Bug.
