Series: Niemiecka Literatura Kobiet (3), ISSN 2719-8170 Sophie Mereau-Brentano (1770-1806) was one of the few first professional German writers. She was given the opportunity to publish under her own name, publish magazines or negotiate with publishers. However, she owed her position on the publishing market largely to the support of her 'colleagues' - Friedrich Schiller and Achim von Arnim. The publication "Sophie Mereau-Brantano. The dilettante on the Weimar Parnassus", edited by Renata Dampc-Jarosz and Nina Nowara-Matusik, brings the readers closer to this little known Polish author of the classical-romantic era and her two prose works translated into Polish - the epistolary novel Amanda und Eduard and the novel Marie. The monographic studies of the third volume of the German Women's Literature series focus on those aspects of Sophie Mereau-Brentano's work which illustrate the stages of her creative development, the influence of the cultural field on the formation of personality (Renata Dampc-Jarosz/Katowice), cooperation with Schiller (Norbert Oellers/Bonn), co-creating the history of women's literature, in particular the epistolary novel genre (Karina Becker/Paderborn) and the artist's and art paradigms in Marie's autobiographical novel (Nina Nowara-Matusik/Katowice). Also translated as part of a translation project, involving research and teaching staff as well as students and doctoral candidates at the University of Silesia, the novel Amanda and Eduard and the short story Marie deal with themes of art, the self-fulfilment of women in the bourgeois society of the time, and - or above all - the constant search for love and happiness.

The dramatic trilogy Beehives by the award-winning author Ružica Aščić places in the centre of each play one family with their key problems. The protagonists want more from their life than just passively going with the flow, but their endeavours face the opposition of their community that pushes their desires in the area of unacceptable. Because of the circumstances the characters become apathetic, and too weak to change their situation. The atmosphere of emptiness and hopelessness, realised through apparently empty dialogues, emanates strongly from the texts, and wraps the reader like cobweb. The plays show a reverse gradation of the lack of willpower, and weakness, beginning with the first one, where the desire is clearly articulated but hits the wall repeatedly. In the second play, there is no desire anymore, just the sense of impossibility of realising any closeness. The third play is dominated by the general prohibition of love and humaneness. Ružica Aščić creates Antonioni-like atmosphere of desert where one has difficulty with finding a landmark, not to mention an oasis. Ružica Aščić was born in 1987. She published the short story collection The Good Days of Violence (2016). For the plays It Grows Inside of Me and Beehives she won the »Marin Držić« Award. She has published short stories in numerous Croatian magazines and one of them was included in the anthology Without Doors, Without Knocking: New Croatian Writers of Fiction.

It is difficult to describe the way Radmila Karlaš writes, because it really is not something that is encountered every day. Her stories take place in an undefined time that may be ours, but it may also be fifty or a hundred years ago, because they are deprived of everything that could be burdensome in terms of a specific timeline, and focused on the essential. There are only people in them, their mutual relations and the forces that affect them, and which do not have to be from this world. And it's something that sometimes makes you shudder, because those stories are sometimes on the verge of fantasy, but it's not epic, or science fiction, or some fiction from horror literature, but something that strikes at the very core of our collective imagination and doesn't stop until we don’t stop with reading, and sometimes after. Radmila's language is extremely polished, her descriptions are clear and we can easily imagine everything she writes about in front of our eyes. And because of that, everything we read leaves an even stronger impression on us.

This is poetry that does not run away from confessional, but the author does not intend to present her childhood struggle to the readers and burden us with personal experiences. Her obsession is more with the world she sees, the one around her, closer and further, foreboding in the past and the one that is just becoming through forebodings - one at the same time a magical and cruelly naked world, all built in opposites. In tenderness and rudeness. This is where the strength, dynamism and beauty of her poetry begins. And in the ability to easily describe things in many ways and from completely different and often opposing perspectives. Her range of interests, which find their place in poetry, is very wide - from philosophy, through classical art, feminist icons, geography, tourist maps of cities, to pop culture. Here, in the same place, you will meet Aztec and Mayan gods, heroes and heroines of Mexican series, paintings from the Sistine Chapel, women from Caravaggio's paintings, heroes from anime, Roman goddesses and many close, everyday deities that the author revives before us, which she finds on the streets of distant cities or on a bus while driving to work.

The edited volume "Continents. Vol. 2: Studies and essays on the work of Bogdan Czaykowski" attempts a multifaceted reinterpretation of the work of one of the most interesting Polish poets of the 20th and 21st centuries, boasting a rich, dramatic biography. Bogdan Czaykowski (born in 1932 in Poland, died in 2007 in Canada) was, among other things, a poet, member of the London-based Continents poetry group, translator, literary critic, anthologist, editor of numerous academic works, and long-time lecturer at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. The 27 articles in this volume offer a comprehensive look at Bogdan Czaykowski's work — his poetry, prose, essays, literary criticism, sociology, translation and editing, and activity as an epistologist and interlocutor. In view of the number of inedites left in the writer’s archives, this volume also contains lesser-known works, such as "Diary from India", the poems “The Epitaph” and “Farewell”, important critical and literary sketches originally written in English, and, additionally, a "Calendar of the Life and Works of Bogdan Czaykowski", as well as an extensive bibliography of his oeuvre.

The Madness of Hercules is one of the tragedies written by the Roman philosopher and politician Seneca the Younger, who was Nero's tutor and advisor. He spent eight years in exile in Corsica during the reign of Claudius, and briefly exerted an influence over the ruler after Nero's rise to power. However, he was ultimately accused of plotting against Claudius and was forced to commit suicide in 65 AD. The Madness of Hercules is a work depicting a hero who devoted his entire life to fighting monsters in defence of humanity, but who was unable to protect his own wife and children from the monster within himself. Under the influence of the mad frenzy by his stepmother Juno, who hates him, Hercules brutally murders his family and then comes back to his senses and has to live with the crime he committed. The tragedy can be read as an allusion to the reign of Nero, but in essence it touches on the universal theme of evil and madness that lies within each of us, and asks what the basis of humanity really is.

The book is a literary monograph containing a study of the Latin elegy Iter Romanum [The Roman Road] by Jesuit poet Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski (1595–1640). The book’s contents include a critical edition of the Latin text and a new translation of the text with an exegetical commentary. The monograph is methodologically consistent with the latest trend of literary research, using the tools of poststructuralist analysis. It is also an attempt to use the means of expressing a new narrative in neo-Latinism. Thus, the authors use not only the traditional verbal narrative, but also a largely iconographic one. An important formal novelty is the juxtaposition of the scientific text with a complementary essay layer, created by journalists who traveled in Sarbiewski's footsteps today and recorded their impressions of the same places seen 400 years later. The book is the result of an innovative research project that is a collaboration between Adam Mickiewicz University, Audi Poland Corporation and the Wielkopolska-Mazowsze Province of the Society of Jesus.

The articles included in the monograph were produced within the framework of the Humanities Academic Consortium of Adam Mickiewicz University-Jagiellonian University. They touch upon almost all issues, aspects and axiological and semantic spheres related to cultural representations of pride. These include: an innovative look at ancient strategies of conceiving pride and the resources of rhetorical tricks used to describe and express lofty attitudes and megalomaniac charms; medieval reflections on the complicated relations connecting pride in one's own achievements with the obligation to express pride that borders on the humiliating; the medieval discussion on the complex relationship between pride in one's own achievements and the obligation to express humility bordering on self-deprecation; the problems encountered by lexicographers in constructing the term "pride"; the individualistic identification of the human being discovered in Romanticism; the imagological reflections on the question of national pride. The fact that nowadays, after many centuries of their ambiguous presence in European (and other) culture, Latin superbia and Greek hybris continue to arouse the emotions of the public and fascinate academic connoisseurs shows that neither science nor literature has yet said its final word on the subject.

This book is featuring poetry from queer Iranians in exile in Turkey, the UK, and Canada. These poems are the outcomes of group workshops, whether in person or remotely created as part of the research project “Negotiating Queer Identities Following Forced Migration” (NQIfFM). They vividly portray the participants’ experiences of persecution and discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics, both in Iran, which they were forced to leave, and in the countries of transition or resettlement.

It is difficult to find a female poet who has not written a self-titled poem. Most comment on the creative process, the understanding and tasks of the art of words, poetry’s relationship to reality or the role of the woman writer. Meta-poetic reflections in the women's texts does not so much serve to problematise the poetic medium and language as direct us towards a reality reinforced by the poem and rooted in personal, psycho-corporeal experience – a world appearing ‘at the tip of the tongue’. Meta-reflection also fosters the self-knowledge of the writer's ‘self’ and its condition, threatened by transience, the modes of history, illness or death. Hence the proposals of ‘disappearance’ as ars poetics by Urszula Kozioł, the meta-poetic description by Joanna Pollakówna, or the ‘out of blue’ self-thematism of Julia Hartwig. Interpretative close-ups also present the meta-poetic projects of Wisława Szymborska (in dialogue with Stanisław Barańczak), Anna Kamieńska, Julia Poświatowska, Bogusława Latawiec, Marzanna Bogumiła Kielar or Julia Fiedorczuk (in juxtaposition with Julian Przyboś), as well as many other contemporary poets."
