Hermann Kinder’s novel contains a conspicuous number of phraseological elements, which is unusual for the writing style of this author. The article describes the accumulation of phraseological and idiomatic material and its usage as a literary stylistic resource. The analysis focuses on the relation of the linguistic appearance and the aesthetic function of the phraseologisms. Therefore, the article intends to contribute to an interdisciplinary method of interpretation, linking linguistic and literary studies. It also includes psychoanalytic concepts to describe the author’s specific linguistic expression of his autobiographical experience of illness. The aesthetic function of the phraseologisms and idiomatic phrases changes in relation to the novel’s progress. In the beginning, collocations increase the cohesion of the text in order to create an image of health. When the disease becomes more and more evident, the emotional affection of the protagonist is being controlled by formulistic linguistic elements. In addition, the author unmasks the pragmatic automatism of the medical language and the failure of its empathetic function by ironically evoking the ambiguity of idiomatic phrases. As a contrast, the narrator refers back to a comforting symbolic language by using linguistic patterns of fairy tales as an imitation of phraseological components. As a result, the analysis indicates that the inclusion of phraseological material in this literary pathobiography seems to provide a linguistic space of shelter for the suffering protagonist.

Proteklih godina ova je pripovetka izišla na zao glas, ne toliko ona, koliko njen segment "pismo", ne toliko "pismo", koliko jedna kratka rečenica. Na rubu pameti, u fantastičnom procesu redukcije i snižavanja, pripovetka je postala "Andrićevo pismo", amanet u četiri reči, jedina BeHa signatura, vazdašnja metafora: "Bosna je zemlja mržnje". U tom poslu izvođači su bili i akademske tribine i sokaci i krčme balkanske; i mucanje neukih i reči školovanih propovednika mržnje nosio je isti talas. Literatura je sišla ravno u život, u "istorijski trenutak", da odigra spasonosnu ulogu inverzivno podmetnutog uzroka bez presedana - samo da se ne bi videlo ono što je na (ne)delu.

The book Kresowy kalejdoskop (Kaleidoscopic Borderlands) by Włodzimierz Mędrzecki deals with social processes, and national and ethnic changes in the eastern territories of the Second Polish Republic as well as the state policy towards them. In his assessment of this policy, the author managed to avoid national bias as well as teleology and presentism. Mędrzecki did not refer to the model of colonialism in the interpretation of Polish rule in the Eastern Borderlands throughout the interwar period. His book, however, offers material for reflection on the relevance of this model to the history of Poland’s relations with its eastern neighbours.

In his book Wojciech Sady attempts to reconstruct the structure of the fundamental transformations that can be described as the relativistic and quantum revolution. Referring to rich historical material and Ludwik Fleck’s reflections on the development of scientific knowledge, the author tries to explain how it is possible that “scientists began to think differently than they had been taught.” Sady’s work, although not devoid of somewhat weaker points, is a brave and thought-provoking attempt to propose his own explanation of the mechanisms of the aforementioned transformations.

James Lovelock, who is famous for the Gaia hypothesis (1979), has written a new book entitled Novacene: The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence (2019). It is an extended argument about an impending new epoch on Earth called Novacene in which biological life as we know it will evolve into lifeforms based on cyber technology (i.e., cyborgs) built from non-biological materials. Novacene may be seen as a development of the ideas presented in Lovelock’s earlier book A Rough Guide to The Future (2014). In Novacene, the Earth will be populated by cyborgs, which are self-replicating and self-improving mechanical systems that will eventually dominate and rule the Earth. These cyborgs will possess intelligence and knowledge beyond our understanding.

Wesley Wildman’s and Kate Stockly’s book Spirit Tech: The Brave New World of Consciousness Hacking and Enlightenment Engineering is an interesting compilation and analysis of current research on technologies of spiritual experience. The book offers the latest advances in neuroscience, very bold predictions about the development of spirituality technology, and very far-reaching conclusions about the development of religion. The authors take an interdisciplinary approach to their work, touching on neuroscience, medical engineering, psychology, religion, and ethics. They do not shy away from the big philosophical, psychological, and ethical questions, and they specifically focus on questions of authenticity, meaning, safety, and social responsibility arising from the marriage of technology and spirituality. Modern neuroscience along with engineering has already created new areas of science-faith and technology-faith relationships. Spiritual alternatives in the form of technology are increasingly posing a fresh challenge to traditional spirituality and religion.
