Lia Brahms, docentja e seminarit, u fut në klasë me hapa të qetë, të sigurt. Ishte shtatgjatë, me flokë të bardhë. Buzën e epërme, majtas, e kishte të shtyrë anësh si me një majë gjilpëre, që dukej sikur i buzëqeshte një subjekti të panjohur në hapësirë. Përshëndeti kursistët dhe filloi të fliste për Echnatonin.

The Promethean vision of Shelley and Al. Philippides springs from the same Greeksource, Aeschylus and Hesiod, but, along the way, undergoes modifications,according to the face and likeness of each poet, in part, because the poets, putting onthe coat and the Promethean mask, and play differently, depending on the interiorof each one, rebelling – however, in unison, against any external and internalauthority or oppression, by borrowing the Promethean howl, to which they givedifferent valences. Shelley's tragic poem preserves the Greek heritage, the legenditself, to a point, for Shelley's verses are not a genealogical presentation but clothethemselves in self-consciousness and tragedy, in the four acts of the poem thatdeserve its title as a masterpiece. Shelley reserves a personal and imaginative viewof human nature: „The images I have used will be found in many illustrations, andhave been drawn from the processes of the human mind (...)” (our translation) of thefatality of life and destiny to which mortals are subjected to.

The aim of this article is to analyse the role of biblical references in Al Berto’s (Alberto Raposo Pidwell Tavares’) last poetry volume, Horto de Incêndio, published in 1997. Previous research on this poetry has identified intertextuality, an interest in corporeality and the problem of the relationship between experience and text as dominant features of this work. Building upon these insights, I demonstrate that the numerous allusions to the Bible, especially evocations of the Apocalypse, in Horto de Incêndio are related to the author’s attempt to textualise the experience of illness and allow us to partially reconstruct his view of the ontology of the literary text.

The article compiles the Lodz traces of Ignacy Dąbrowski, a writer of Young Poland who lived in Lodz intermittently between 1893 and 1897. The research carried out using archival and biographical methods made it possible to identify several threads of the writer’s biography related to characters associated with Lodz (including Władysław S. Reymont, Wacław Kloss, Edward Rontaler and the doctor Lidia Złobina). The work also deals with Dąbrowski’s never-published novel Mistrz (The Master), the manuscripts of which were long thought to have been burnt and are now being prepared for publication. The reconnaissance has made it possible to bring closer the writer’s connections with Lodz and the locals, as well as to unveil the supposed reasons for the abandonment of the publication of Mistrz in the magazine “Tygodnik Ilustrowany”.

The aim of this article is to demonstrate how German-speaking writers from Lodz in the early 20th century depicted the city in their works, particularly its urban space. The author assumes that literary representations of the city are strongly conditioned by its industrial development and reflect the socio-cultural complexity of the region, which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was a melting pot of cultures, religions, and languages. The article employs critical literary analysis, textual analysis, historical-literary methods, and archival research to gain a deeper understanding of the socio-historical context. The research shows that the dynamic industrial changes and multiculturalism of the city significantly influenced literary creation. Although the German-speaking literary environment was less developed than the Polish or Jewish ones, it significantly contributed to the portrayal of Lodz as primarily an industrial space. The image of the city presented in the literature of German-speaking residents of Lodz is diverse. It often refers to the motifs known from Polish, Russian, and Jewish literature of the period: Lodz as a promised land, a bad city, a city without moral principles, a city-monster. German-speaking writers, like Yiddish and Polish-speaking authors, often referred to similar elements of urban space and motifs, reflecting their life experiences and observations. German-speaking authors presented Lodz as a city of contrasts and conflicts, marked by industrial development yet a place of complex social challenges. Their works, although not always of high artistic quality, are a valuable testimony of the era and show how literature can reflect and interpret the realities of urban life in a historical and cultural context.

This article discusses the image of Lodz as depicted in two parodic poems by the Russian author N.G. Kuzmich: My Uncle and Demon, which appeared in the Russian-language Lodz newspaper „Lodzinskiy Listok” in the last years of the 19th century. Both of these works are remakes of Russian 19th century classics – two poems by the great Russian Romantics: Alexander Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin and Mikhail Lermontov’s Demon. The author sets the prominent characters he has chosen from his eminent works, the leading and episodic characters, in the developing, industrial Lodz of the late 19th century. The following research methods were used in this article: analytical, confrontational, cultural-historical, intertextual. As a result of the research, a picture of a developing industrial city – Lodz – and the people forming its financial elite is presented. Kuzmich’s use of the works of Russian classics allowed him to highlight the differences between the romantic heroes and the consumerism of the characters he created, typical of Lodz at the time. The works discussed in this article, which combine Russian classics with the image of a developing turn-of-the-century Lodz, are undoubtedly interesting examples of a ‘Lodz text’, written by a Russian-speaking resident of this multicultural city at the end of the nineteenth century.

The article is devoted to biometric research on typographically unusual book covers. The definition of biometric research is presented, with particular emphasis on eyetracking and facetracking, and attention is paid to the course of the reading process. The following part of the text presents the results of biometric research focused on three typographically unusual covers. Eye Tracker Tobii Pro Fusion 250 Hz and iMotions Biometric Research Platform 9 software were used for the measurements. The aim of the study was to check the feelings and behaviours accompanying contact with the covers. A group of students was examined. Eye-catching fragments were determined thanks to the use of eyetracking, while facetracking made it possible to detect the emotions accompanying the reception of the covers. Book cover designers and graphic designers can use the study’s findings to determine the impact of the unusual typography on the cover’s reception by readers.
