Summary/Abstract: Biernacka-Licznar, K. (2018). Serce Pinokia. Włoska literatura dla dzieci i młodzieży w Polsce w latach 1945–1989. Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Naukowe i Edukacyjne SBP. Ożóg-Winiarska, Z. (2017). Włoska literatura dla dzieci i młodzieży w zbliżeniach polskich. Kielce: Instytut Filologii Polskiej UJK. In this review article, two publications devoted to the reception of Italian children’s and young adult literature on the Polish publishing market in the 20th and 21st centuries are analysed. The first one – Serce Pinokia. Włoska literatura dla dzieci i młodzieży w Polsce w latach 1945–1989 [Pinocchio’s Heart: Italian Literature for Children and Young Adults in Poland, 1945–1989] by Katarzyna Biernacka-Licznar (2018) – systematises and organises the phenomena concerning the reception of Italian literature for children and youth against the background of dynamic political changes in Poland during the titular period. The second dissertation – Włoska literatura dla dzieci i młodzieży w zbliżeniach polskich [Italian Literature for Children and Young Adults in Polish Close-ups] by Zofia Ożóg-Winiarska (2017) – is a critical monograph on contemporary Italian literature for young readers which emphasises the aesthetic values of those writings and their complex, multidimensional nature.
