Heinrich Heine
Christian Johann Heinrich Heine was one of the most significant German poets of the 19th century. He was also a journalist, essayist, and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose is distinguished by its satirical wit and irony. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities. Heine spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.

She applied for the University of Gdańsk's faculty of psychology and was accepted, but left the studies for Warsaw, where she joined the culture studies at the Warsaw University. She first appeared in the mass-media when her debut book Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną (translated to English as either White and Red in the UK or Snow White and Russian Red in the US) was published.

The first part of Ignacy Karpowicz’s debut novel, Uncool, might seem to suggest that we have here another young prose-writer seeking to describe the various miseries of the provincial life, as the author brings us young and frustrated residents of Białystok who have difficulty making ends meet. But the second part of the novel clearly leans toward unhinged, no-holds-barred grotesque, in which the writer opens th -
Zyta Rudzka
Polska dramatopisarka, pisarka, poetka, publicystka, autorka scenariuszy filmów dokumentalnych, psychoterapeutka wyspecjalizowana w poradnictwie z zakresu seksuologii. Zaczynała jako poetka. W r. 1989 ogłosiła tomik wierszy Ruchoma rzeczywistość, z czasem objawiła się jako prozatorka, wydając – bardzo dobrze przyjętą przez krytykę – powieść Białe klisze (1993). Już wówczas doszedł do głosu charakterystyczny dla Rudzkiej styl narracji powieściowej – silnie zmetaforyzowany, zorganizowany wokół archetypów i symboli, zrodzony zapewne z inspiracji psychoanalitycznych. Pisarka chętnie umieszcza swej opowieści w umownych realiach, lubi wszelkiego typu uniwersalizacje, zwłaszcza te, które mówią o spotkaniu kobiety i mężczyzny, do jakiego dochodzi j
