Mr. Polton Explains

R. Austin Freeman

R. Austin Freemans character Dr. Thorndyke is considered the first modern forensic scientist in literature. This is one of the oddities of detective fiction. The first part of this story is an autobiography of Thorrndykes lab assistant Polton. Polton, Dr. Thorndykes lab assistant and a servant has graced every Thorndyke mystery with his mechanical ingenuity, his sumptuous meals and teas, and his crinkly smile. The second part is a mystery tale, which builds on some of the characters we first saw in the earlier portion. Polton and Dr. Thorndyke faced with a mystery involving a mysterious fire in a Soho house filled with supposedly inflammable objects and a body charred beyond recognition by the fire. Poltons understanding of the mechanisms of clocks leads to a breakthrough in the case.

Mapowanie bólu. Lektura - Spojrzenie - Afekt

Sebastian Porzuczek

"Sebastian Porzuczek podjął się w swej książce rozpatrzenia jednego z najtrudniejszych, a także najważniejszych, problemów, jakie przed człowiekiem (i innymi istotami) stawia życie, a przed literaturą i sztuką – ludzkie doświadczenie. Jednym z powodów tej trudności – który w pracy zajmuje istotne miejsce – jest to, że fenomen i wydarzenie bólu nie dają do siebie dostępu – tyleż ludzkiej świadomości, co dyskursywnemu czy obrazowemu opracowaniu. Sposoby transmitowania tego dotkliwego doświadczenia, a w porządku egzystencji refleksja filozoficzna oraz literacka (jak też filmowa) także jego artykulacji czy reprezentacji, możliwości jego świadczenia i przekazu, status, jaki mu przyznaje sztuka wypowiadania tego doświadczenia – to główne wątki poddane w pracy Porzuczka uważnej, wnikliwej, a przy tym (co chyba najtrudniejsze) celowo zdystansowanej – acz zarazem empatycznej – analizie”.  prof. dr hab. Ryszard Nycz     „Imponuje równowaga, jaką zachowuje autor między aparatem teoretycznym skonstruowanym z elementów rozmaitych koncepcji filozoficznych, kulturoznawczych i literaturoznawczych – koncepcji przywoływanych swobodnie i ze znawstwem – a partiami analitycznymi, w których autor wykazuje się olbrzymim wyczuleniem na literacki i filmowy szczegół, na pracę języka i obrazu.  Pod względem wyboru samego problemu głównego książka lokuje się w jednym z najżywszych obszarów współczesnej humanistyki. Co więcej, zarówno gdy idzie o wymiar teoretyczno-metodologiczny, jak i gdy idzie o analizy konkretnych twórców, autor wykazuje się arcysolidną znajomością współczesnych dyskusji i rozpoznań, zarówno polskich, jak i międzynarodowych. Zarazem świadomie i w skupieniu wytycza swoje ścieżki i kreśli własną mapę. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że rozprawa wzbudzi zaciekawienie wśród literaturoznawców, kulturoznawców i filozofów zainteresowanych problematyką afektu i reprezentacji artystycznej”.  dr hab. Adam Lipszyc, prof. PAN   Sebastian Porzuczek – absolwent filologii polskiej, doktorant w Katedrze Antropologii Literatury i Badań Kulturowych Wydziału Polonistyki Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego; redaktor czasopisma naukowego antropologów literatury „Polisemia”; jego teksty, podejmujące refleksję nad literackimi i filmowymi reprezentacjami bólu, choroby i cielesności, publikowane były na łamach m.in. „Tekstów Drugich”, „Wielogłosu”, „Kontekstów Kultury” i pisma kulturalnego „Fragile”.

The Forged Coupon and Other Stories

Leo Tolstoy

At the beginning of the story, walking along an incline, some of Tolstoys characters lie, commit robberies and even killings. The author allows his heroes to experience feelings of satisfaction and complete impunity, after they have committed terrible atrocities. Pelageyushkin, going to the massacres, is content with one own impunity. Tolstoy conducts his heroes in hellish circles: all terrible crimes are uncovered. The punishment for the crime hangs with a Damocles sword over the heads of Tolstoy literary characters. It is also interesting that the writer selects his heroes from each social group.

Rogue Herries

Hugh Walpole

This chronicle tells of several generations of a family that lives in the Lake District in England, dating back to the late seventeen hundred. Hughs descriptions of this area are excellent. He had such a great love for him that he conveyed a great sense of his presence throughout all four novels. His characters also become so alive for the reader, because, I think, he is completely immersed in them.

Jajecznica Kolumba

Paweł Wakuła

Jajecznica Kolumba to książka dla wielbicieli dalekich wędrówek, takich, którzy nie wahają się udać w nieznane jedynie z plecakiem i namiotem, i takich, którzy podróżują głównie palcem po mapie. Bohaterem książki jest Kuba, ten sam, który w książce Jagiełło pod prysznicem pobierał u swojego dziadka korepetycje z historii. Tym razem chłopiec i jego rodzina, a wraz z nim czytelnicy poznają najwybitniejszych odkrywców w dziejach, poczynając od starożytnych Fenicjan i Greków, a kończąc na współczesnych polskich podróżnikach. Wyruszą wraz z nimi do mroźnej Ultima Thule, żyznej Winlandii, owianego tajemnicą El Dorado, i niezbadanej Terra Australis Incognita. Przekonają się, że za wielkimi odkryciami geograficznymi stała nie tylko ciekawość świata, ale także chęć zysku, polityka i przypadek, a wśród podróżników nie brakowało zwyczajnych awanturników. Wyprawy na kraj świata przeżyte wspólnie z Leifem Erikssonem, Benedyktem Polakiem, Krzysztofem Kolumbem, Jamesem Cookiem i Roaldem Amundsenem sprawią, że lekcje geografii przestaną być nudne.

Sketches of Young Gentlemen

Charles Dickens

Following the phenomenal popularity of Sketches by Boz, Dickens produced two short volumes of Sketches of Young Gentlemen and Sketches Young Couples". Dedicated to The Young Ladies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as to other young ladies, Sketches of Young Gentlemen scrutinizes in a very witty and humorous fashion certain familiar characteristics of Victorian men and women. Indeed, the sketches center around certain social stereotypes developed by the author. Whimsical, satirical, witty and exuberant, the sketches ridicule the behavior of their subjects with perfect comic effect, offering fascinating evidence of a writer learning his craft and refining his style. To modern readers, these sketches reveal a hidden facet of the great Victorian novelist as they give a glimpse of his little-known beginnings. Highly recommended!
