The article is a review of the book Różewicz. Rekonstrukcja. I [Różewicz. Reconstruction. I] by Magdalena Grochowska. It is the first part of her wide-ranging biographical work on Różewicz’s biography, which was published in the year of Różewicz's 100th birthday anniversary. The review presents the compositional idea of the biography, based on a chronological order (from his birth to about 1957). This order is treated freely by Grochowska, because it is often abandoned in favor of thematic and problematic approaches (e.g. the issue of Różewicz’s Jewish origin, his relationships with mother and wife, his participation in Armia Krajowa [Home Army] battles during the 2WW and its influence on his later dramas). Critical consideration was given to the strategy used by the author of the book – an overly simple combination of plan and creativity through the use of literary works as a direct commentary on the poet's existence. Attention was also paid to the undoubted advantages of the publication – the presentation of the results of work in archives, as well as Magdalena Grochowska's excellent reporting skills.

Article by Kornelia Ćwiklak entitled E.T.A. Hoffman in Warsaw. The new book by Peter (Piotr) Lachmann contains an overview of the book by the Polish-German poet, writer and translator devoted to the stay of E.T.A. Hoffmann in Warsaw. The author outlined a broad historical, topographical and cultural context – especially literary and musical – of the Warsaw period of the life of the outstanding German Romantic (1804-1807). He combines a critical review of the existing state of research with an essayistic style, not free from autobiographical narration related to his own experience of Warsaw, which has been the place of the writer's life for 30 years. Translating the reviewed book into Polish would help fill the gap in knowledge about the Warsaw years of E.T.A. Hoffmann.

The subject of the study is the cult of the Immaculate Mary, who is the personification of the theological virtue of hope. Particular consideration was given to the Marian sanctuary in Górka Klasztorna, where the oldest revelation of the Mother of God on Polish soil took place in 1079. The purpose of the study is to synthetically discuss the content of the scientific texts included in the publication “There is hope, because there is Immaculate”. To achieve the goal, the method of analysis of the content of the texts and the method of synthesis were used. The research conducted allows us to present conclusions: Górka Klasztorna is the site of the oldest apparition of the Mother of God in the Polish lands, and the sanctuary erected there was entrusted in 1923 to the pastoral care of the Congregation of Missionaries of the Holy Family, founded in 1895 in Grave in the Netherlands by the Servant of God, Father Jan Berthier (1840-1908). The activities of the missionaries in Górka Klasztorna also place in the context of the dramatic events of the 20th century. The cult of Mary has a biblical and liturgical basis. The Immaculate is the image of the new man. Her person and participation in the work of salvation is the content of the sermons and teachings of prominent theologians and pastors, as exemplified by Anthony of Padua, John Berthier, Joseph Kentenich. In Christian iconography, the characteristic types of representations of Mary are known, which are discussed using examples of selected paintings. A theological interpretation of the image from Monastery Hill is also given. Mary Immaculate is an important foundation of Christian hope and a model to be presented in catechesis for adults on the themes of eternal life and eschatological issues.
