Książka „Simurg” Stanko Andricia, którą gatunkowo można określić jako połączenie autobiografii z fikcją literacką, jest wybitnym przykładem prozy współczesnej, nowoczesnej i wyrafinowanej. Rzadko się zdarza, aby polski czytelnik mógł przeczytać książkę, dla której inspiracją są przestrzenie – również te historyczne i wyobrażeniowe – Kotliny Panońskiej, chorwackiej Slawonii. W prozie tej spotykają się dwa sposoby myślenia – intelektualny i codzienny. Andrić stworzył narratora ...

Seventeen-years-old when I saw it, what always stuck with me was how disappointed I was at the ending of the film. Of course, having seen it countless times over the 30 years since, I’ve learned to appreciate its finer aspects. And I now think the conclusion actually provides us with a bonus that–like the Spanish Inquisition–we may not have been expecting. I could call this a carryover from the lesson of Roger the Shrubber, but I’ll just get on with it.All too often, many asp...

This preface, though placed at the beginning, as a preface must be, should be read at the end of the book. I have received a large amount of correspondence concerning this small work, and many reviews of it--some of them nearly as long as the book itself--have been printed. But scarcely any of the comment has been adverse. Some people have objected to a frivolity of tone; but as the tone is not, in my opinion, at all frivolous, this objection did not impress me; and had no we...

The Ghost in the Machine looks at the dark side of the coin: our terrible urge to self-destruction...   Could the human species be a gigantic evolutionary mistake? To answer that startling question Koestler examines how experts on evolution and psychology all too often write about people with an ‘a...

The Willows is a novella by English author Algernon Blackwood, originally published as part of his 1907 collection The Listener and Other Stories. The story is famous for being influential on a number of later writers, in particular horror author H.P. Lovecraft who praised it as the finest supernatural tale in English literature. Two friends are taking a break from a canoe trip down the snaking, sinuous Danube River when they discover the corpse of a peasant in the woods. Wh...

Few American television series are as deeply entrenched in twentieth-century popular culture as M*A*S*H, a Korean War medical comedy characterized by its dark tone and finesse in tackling serious social and political issues. By the end of its run, M*A*S*H had been a mainstream hit for several seasons and won fourteen Emmys, leading it to be called 'the most popular pre-Seinfeld series in television history.'  In this comprehensive study of M*A*S*H, David Scott Diffrient analy...

So in the last few moments of daylight, Centre Court witnessed a coronation. Only it wasn't a crowning for the Swiss heir apparent but for a swashbuckling Spaniard. Twenty-two-year-old Rafael Nadal prevailed, in f...
