Między językami, między światami – o życiu w nowym języku w świetle doświadczeń wybranych pisarek
Keywords: bilingual female writers; migration; bilingualism; language acquisition; linguistic adaptation; belonging
This paper presents the issue of bilingualism and life in a new culture through the experiences of three writers (Mary Antin, Eva Hoffman, Gerda Lerner), who left their home countries as teenagers and emigrated to the USA (Antin, Lerner) and Canada (Hoffman). Their reflections on starting life in a new language provide an opportunity to analyze language acquisition and linguistic adaptation in the immigrant setting.

Molière’s "Tartuffe" in modern Polish translation

Keywords: Molière’s Tartuffe; Polish translation; forms of address; epithets as features of characters
The article deals with some strategical choices in new Polish translations of Molière’s "Tartuffe".

Culturemes in literary translation
Kulturemy w przekładzie literackim
Keywords: literary translation; culturemes; translation strategies
This paper presents a few strategies which literary translators chose while translating Polish culturemes included in "Pamiętnik z powstania warszawskiego" by Miron Białoszewski into French ("Mémoire de l’insurrection de Varsovie") and English ("A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising"). We analyze examples of translation of culturemes characteristic for the Polish language and history, some of them in the form of toponyms and anthroponyms. The translation of culturemes establishes a real challenge because of strong connotations in the original language and culture. For this reason "A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising" is often regarded as “hermetically Polish” book.

“We have created this island for ourselves...”
„Stworzyliśmy sobie taką wyspę…”
Keywords: salon; 19th century; Berlin; social life; entertainment
The aim of the paper is to reconstruct the forms of social activity in 19th century Berlin salons based on the analysis of selected memoirs, diaries and letters of guests and/or host(esse)s. From the definition of the term “salon” and briefly discussing its history in Europe and Friedrich Schleiermacher’s theory of salon society, the author proceeds to examine such forms of salon activities as reading literary works aloud, playing music, amateur theatre performances, tableaux vivants, and party games. The text demonstrates that these activities were both a way to facilitate interaction between guests and to show appreciation to amateur performers. In addition, they provided a platform and a way to find wealthy protectors to less known artists and debutants, while offering opportunities to give tour-de-force performances to established artists, writers, and poets. They helped bring people with shared interests together, creating a microcosm in its own right that transcended social divisions.

The performances of “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang Goethe in Berlin and Warsaw with music by Prince Anthony Radziwiłł
O wystawieniach Fausta Johanna Wolfganga Goethego z muzyką polskiego kompozytora księcia Antoniego Radziwiłła w 1848 roku w salonie Magdaleny i Wacława Łuszczewskich w Warszawie
Keywords: Faust; Prince Anthony Radziwiłł; music for performances of Faust in Berlin and Warsaw
Although Polish-German cultural relationships have existed for a long time, only some aspects of them have become the subject of a more or less systematic research of musicologists and literary historians. In this text, I would like to bring up one of the little-known aspect of Polish-German relations in the field of literature and music in the nineteenth century – the performance of some lyrical pieces from the first part of the tragedy "Faust" by Johann Wolfgang Goethe in the Warsaw Literary Salon led by Magdalena and Wacław Łuszczewski. The lyric was set to music by the Polish composer Anthony Radziwiłł. The performance has been enjoyed by a wide audience in artistic circles, especially by those in musical circles, not only in Warsaw but in the whole Kingdom of Poland. The performances of "Faust" at the royal castle Monbijou and then at “Singakademie” (“Academy of Singing”) in Berlin were very widely covered as well.

The Greek-Language Poetic Work of Three Bulgarians: Ivan Seliminski, P. Protis, and Gr. Parlichef
Гръкоезичното поетично творчество на трима възрожденски българи – Ив. Селимински, П. Протич, Г. Пърличев
Keywords: poetry in Greek; University of Athens; Bulgarian Hellenists; Bulgarian Renaissance scholars
In the middle of the 19th century, a large number of Bulgarian Renaissance scholars, which included Ivan Seliminsky, Petar Protich and Gregor Parlichev, created poetry in Greek. The works which are presented by the three Hellenists in the present study are a valuable a source for some of the characteristic features of the Balkans, as well as the language characteristics and the particular style from each of them. P. Protich’s satire focuses on the dangers hidden in Hellenistic phenomena of the Balkan intelligentsia. The poems of Greg. Parlichev are distinguished for their rich poetic language and describe the struggle for liberation from the centuries long yoke of slavery, while Iv. Seliminsky presents events in Wallachia since the middle of the 19th century. In the life and spiritual attitude of these three Hellenists there is something very common – they attend Greek schools, they study at the University of Athens, live and work for the political and spiritual regeneration of the Bulgarian people.

The Kitchen of Aristophanes’ Comedy “Birds”: Erotica and Politica
Кухнята на Аристофановата комедия „Птиците“: еротика и политика
Keywords: Aristophanes; comedy The Birds; culinary code; “the lifestyle/ the diet of birds”; the alelofagiya motive
The article analyzes Aristophanes’ comedy The Birds performed in 414 BC at the City Dionysia and not long after the commencement of the Sicilian Expedition. The play is built largely on the specific culinary code defining the political and cultural „otherness” through „the birds’ life”. Information of this type can be organized into three main groups: – Motifs that characterize „the lifestyle/the diet of birds” scattered throughout the text of the comedy; – To this group gravitates the motive for the creation of the world as culinary confusion in so-called „Ornitogoniya” (vv. 693–702) in the first parabaza. – The alelofagiya’s motive, the motive of killing/eating conspecific, culminating in the episode with the penalty of rebelling against democracy birds (1579–1590; 1637; 1689), baked for the wedding of Pisthetaerus with Basileya.
