This new translation, in rhymed verse, of Goethe's Faust--one of the greatest dramatic and poetic masterpieces of European literature--preserves the essence of Goethe's meaning without resorting either to an overly literal, archaic translation or to an overly modern idiom. It remains the nearest "equivalent" rendering of the German ever achieved.

In 1779, sixty-five of his fables, which used contemporary events and human relations to show a course to guide human conduct, were published. These fables present a world where reason is valued over sentiment, true to the enlightenment ideal. But the rhymes also sugar coat a bitter message: depicting a world where the strong continually take advantage of the...

Wybór wierszy jednego z największych rosyjskich poetów, Siergieja Jesienina.

Cyprian Norwid, born in 1821 near Warsaw, is one of the most innovative and idiosyncratic figures in Polish literature. His unique poetry is now recognized as among Poland's finest. Largely self-taught, he left Poland at the age of 21, moving widely around Europe - befriended by Chopin among others - before travelling to America. Persistently dogged by financial crises, he was forced to return to Paris in 1854. There he spent the rest of his...

Wiedza przeciętnego człowieka na temat Australii z reguły nie jest zbyt duża. Ten odległy kraj i kontynent zarazem, kojarzymy zazwyczaj z operą w Sydney, pociesznymi misiami koala i wszechobecnymi, skaczącymi kangurami.
Opowieść Tomasza Trojanowskiego, autora lubianych przez dzieci Kocich historii, zaczyna się w miejskim zoo, a jej bohaterami są Puzon i Torba - słoń, który świetnie skacze o tyczce, i kangur kochający szybką jazdę tramwajem. Ci dwaj śmiałkowie postanowili opuścić ciasne klatki i wrócić w rodzinne strony.
