The Gods and Mr. Perrin. A Tragi-Comedy

Hugh Walpole

We are set up so as not to love the school teacher Mr. Perrin, who is falling into our eyes into some kind of paranoid delusion. Nevertheless, at every step, the author deviates from the expected result, truly not letting us understand why this was not so inevitable as he drew it up to this point.

Wiersze. Wybór

Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński

Poezja Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego, zebrana w tomie Wierszy, jest głosem pokolenia tragicznego ludzi, których wejście w okres dorosłości naznaczone zostało przez świat wojny i okupacji. Doświadczenie to odcisnęło bardzo wyraźny piętno na twórczości poety, na kształcie artystycznym utworów, na tematyce wierszy, także na poglądach i moralnych ukształtowaniu twórcy. Zrodziło to katastrofizm utworów bijący z nich pokoleniowy katastrofizm, pesymizm, przekonanie o nieuchronnym zbliżaniu się śmierci i końcu przedwojennego porządku. Cała twórczość młodego Baczyńskiego wyraża więc wątek apokalipsy dokonanej, spełnionej.
