Bitwa książek. Opowieść balii

Author(s): Jonathan Swift / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2013

The Battle of the Books and A Tale of a Tub are the most important works in the early satirical writings of Jonathan Swift. They were written between 1695 and 1704. They appear in Polish translation for the first time. In the dispute between the Ancients and the Moderns Swift was a staunch supporter of the Ancients. Their followers believed that classical and biblical thought is continuously influencing us. Swift ridiculed his contemporaries for their cult of science, their religious hypocrisy, for following literary trends, and he did it by brilliantly applying irony and grotesques, creatively construing multi-layered absurdities.

Wieczory petersburskie. O doczesnym panowaniu Opatrzności

Author(s): Joseph de Maistre / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2020

The presented book is a philosophical dialogue about the temporal rule of Providence, combining literary values with a huge load of polemical passion. Joseph de Maistre puts all his knowledge, erudition and writing talent at stake, in order to prove that God is present in all human affairs, and above all in political life, contrary to scientifically justified pride of doubt, and often also against common sense. Famous for their controversy and repeatedly cited arguments: praise of the executioner, apology of war and anti-enlightenment philippines, take on a completely new meaning. Before the reader's eyes stands the landscape of the revolutionary era seen through the eyes of a conservative aristocrat with the zeal of Jacobin, whose work still amazes and brings desperation to both his admirers and opponents.
