Author(s): Jacek Golebiowski / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017

In over seventy-five years of its activity, the Association of Polish Teachers Abroad, in accordance with the Statute, has promoted Polishness in exile, and cared for preserving both the mother tongue and Polish culture. The Board has performed its duties socially, thus serving God and the homeland. A slogan “I nic nad Boga” [And nothing above God] was placed on the banner of the organization, which was solemnly consecrated on 13 October 2002. This short inscription, which is extremely rich in content, fully reflects the values that the subsequent generations of teachers of Polish Schools of Native Subjects in Great Britain have been faithful to over the years.

Der Endogene Aussprachestandard in Mecklenburg zu seinen Lautmustern und Auto- und Heterosstereotypen

Author(s): Robert Skoczek / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 2015

The monograph by Dr. Robert Skoczek deals with the problem of the standard German pronunciation, especially in Mecklenburg, with regard to known orthoepic reference works (Siebs, Duden, GWDA), which have a recommendable character. On the basis of a structural analysis of the German standard, the author emphasizes their heterogeneity, which in their everyday use is based both on extensive co-ordination and on the influence of elements of regional provenance. The update of the standard pronunciation was recorded in the book in a multi-faceted manner and discussed with meticulousness.From the review of Prof. em. Dr. habil. Jerzy Jeszke

Dziennik 1939-1945. Wojna i okupacja w Lublinie w oczach dorosłych i dzieci

Author(s): Remigiusz Moszynski / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2014

Remigiusz Moszynski's diary is a new, very valuable and multifaceted scientific and cognitive historical source and at the same time has educational value. By registering and quoting Hitler and Frank's programmatic speeches, the author exposes their simple propaganda character, but also points to the to what an admonition they are to the Polish people. This heavy and dismal time has been fully shown. His reminder may have for the present generations an overtone of urgency for critical reflection on today's alternative choices.

Idee i formy. Studia i szkice o Norwidzie

Author(s): Marek Bus / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2014

Marek Buś, a professor at the Pedagogical University of Cracow, is the author of the books “Składanie pieśni. Z dziejów edytorstwa twórczości Cypriana Norwida” (1997) and “Norwidyści. Miriam - Cywiński - Borowy - Makowiecki - Wyka. Konteksty” (2008), as well as a member of an editorial board of a new edition of Norwid’s works, a permanent collaborator of the “Studia Norwidiana” journal and a participant of Norwid-related conferences. The key topic of Buś’s new book boils down to the question: ‘how to read Norwid?’ Because he knows the history of Norwid’s reception he does not feel the temptation to unilaterally read, to follow interpretative trends, to expose his point of view. He believes in magnitude of the poet and in seeking traces of it in his poetry

Kres ułańskiej epopei

Author(s): Bohdan Królikowski / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2014

"The end of the Uhlans’ epic" is the third part - after "The summer of Uhlans" and "The autumn of Uhlans" - a series of sketches by Bohdan Królikowski from the history of the cavalry of the Second Polish Republic. This book is a valuable and interesting item, even sensational in places. The author presents the organization and combat activities of cavalry regiments, which during the Second World War in the Polish Armed Forces in the West changed from horses to tanks and armored cars. In France (1939-1940) the cavalry formed reconnaissance units and the 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade. In the Middle East and North Africa fighters from the Carpathian Rifle Brigade organized and fought. After the fall of France, reconnaissance and armored units were created in Great Britain. Later, a cavalry was organized in the Polish Army in the USSR, and after the transition to the Middle East, reconnaissance and armored units were created. Cavalry regiments fought in Italy, northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Pseudo-Longinus, Pseudo-Arystydes, Anonymus Seguerianus, Aspines.Trzy greckie stylistyki i dwa traktaty retoryczne z okresu Cesarstwa Rzymskiego

Wstępami poprzedził, przetłumaczył i komentarzami opatrzył Henryk Podbielski. Przedmowa i redakcja naukowa Krzysztof Narecki

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2016

The present volume introduces Polish readers to three theories of Greek stylistics and two complete rhetorical textbooks in the spirit of the Second Sophistic which functioned in school rhetoric before Hermogenes' "Art of Rhetoric" was constituted as a canonical work. The treatise "On the Sublime" by Pseudo-Longinus is commonly perceived as the most difficult and challenging ancient text for a translator due to its depth of inquiry and reflection on the art of rhetoric combined with complex artistic form. It is worth recalling here the great role of the treatise in the shaping of Europe's modern aesthetic sensitivity which can be compared only to Aristotle's "Poetics". The huge intellectual effort and great emotional engagement of the Translator resulted in a translation which is accurate to the current state of knowledge, faithful in terms of form and content, as well as clear and meeting the readers expectation. The remaining four works have not been translated into Polish before. It is their first translation and the first comprehensive presentation in Polish, which enables wide range of recipients - interested in theoretical and practical aspects of style and public speaking - to use the works due to their scholarly analysis and historical and literary commentary.

The Nazi Law of the Third German Reich

Author(s): Tadeusz Guz / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

Although over seventy years have passed since the end of World War II, the issue of national socialism in the German Third Reich still remains the subject of scientific studies of a lot of scientists [...] and an enormous ideological challenge [...] in the process of the creation of culture fit for man as a spiritual and physical being, their natural and legal communities and – not infrequently – [...] fit for the personal Absolute. [...] A certain, maybe the shortest synthesis of the problems brought up in this thesis of the philosophy of law of the Third Reich was made – in cooperation with many Nazi scientists and politicians – by the minister of the Reich Hans Frank in the publication edited by him in 1937 Deutsches Verwaltungsrecht [...] where Justus Danckwerts states the following: “Therefore, it is the state and not the nation that stands at the beginning of analysis. The Führer is the representative of the nation. The nation acts through him. He is the highest war commander, politician, law maker, judge and administrator. Under no circumstances is he bound. Law stands above him which has been growing in the nation and has been tested in the fight of the most German members of the nation in the world of enemies and that is the reason why it is far stronger than any act of law and what is timeless. This law is the socialist national view of the world. It [meaning this view] created the deepest and the most certain foundation of the life order of the German nation. It is the fundamental law of the nation, the unwritten constitution which determines all desire and all activity, not only of the members of the German nation itself but of each person in general.” [...] It is here that, according to Rudolf Bechert, the seeming “necessity of socialism” has its reason for the systematic shaping and interpretation of law.
