Winner of the 2021 Found in Translation Award First published in Polish in 1932, The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma was Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz’s breakout novel. Dyzma is an unemployed clerk who crashes a swanky party, where he makes an offhand crass remark that sets him on a new course. Soon high society—from government ministers to drug-fueled aristocrats—wants a piece of him. As Dyzma’s status grows, his vulgarity is interpreted as authenticity and strength. He is unable to comprehend complicated political matters, but his cryptic responses are celebrated as wise introspection. His willingness to do anything to hold on to power—flip-flopping on political positions, inventing xenophobic plots, even having enemies assaulted—only leads to greater success. Dołęga-Mostowicz wrote his novel in a newly independent Poland rampant with political corruption and populist pandering. Jerzy Kosinski borrowed heavily from the novel when he wrote Being There, and readers of both books will recognize similarities between their plots. This biting political satire—by turns hilarious and disturbing, contemptuous and sympathetic—is an indictment of a system in which money and connections matter above all else, bluster and ignorance are valorized, and a deeply incompetent man rises to the highest spheres of government.

"Nicodemus Dyzma is a small-town man who comes to the Polish capital from the Eastern provinces (known as "Kresy") in search of work. While walking the streets of Warsaw, he finds a lost invitation to a party reception. Hoping for a free meal, he decides to use it because he owns a tuxedo. At the reception, he befriends a member of parliament and wins the hearts of guests with his attitude. He is introduced to a wealthy landowner by the name of Kunicki, a former con artist, who is so impressed by Dyzma that he offers him a job as superintendent of his country estate. At the estate, Dyzma meets Kunicki's wife, Nina, who quickly falls in love with him, but earns the distaste of Kunicki's daughter, Kasia, a lesbian who had been carrying on an affair with Nina. Soon Dyzma takes control of all affairs of the estate and starts to climb the social and political ladder. He is offered a series of prestigious appointments; however, he is forced to hide his past from the prying eyes of his adversaries and the general public. His lack of knowledge about things that are expected of him are taken either as his humour or eccentricities, or by his underlings as attempts to test them. Dyzma's rise in status is not good for his morals, as eventually he commissions the murder of his former boss from the provinces who might have revealed the truth of Dyzma's background. Ultimately he marries Nina and decides to refuse a commendation to become prime minister for fear that his pretenses will be revealed."--Wikipedia

When Edward Śmigly-Rydz appeared on its September1939 cover, Time Magazine described him as "a scholar-technician," "graceful, versatile, serious," "with a professor's inquisitive" mind. This was the man who was leading Poland's resistance to Hitler's invasion. An impoverished orphan he had risen to his country's highest military rank, admonishing his people, "To the Germans we would lose our freedom; to the Russians we would lose our souls." In 1920 he had led a maneuver which defeated a westward surge by Russia's Red Army and had humiliated Joseph Stalin, but in 1939 Hitler and Stalin combined to overrun Poland. Interned, Śmigly-Rydz escaped, and despite a widespread manhunt, eluded his pursuers. In the end, he left behind a cryptic poem: "All around me are pensive crosses, black from smoke..." He also left behind a secret which undermined Germany's war effort and fostered Hitler's own defeat. Dr. Archibald Patterson holds degrees from Harvard and three other American universities (North Carolina, Southern Methodist, and Georgia.) He has been Assistant Director and operations manager, Government Accountability Office (GAO, ) and Associate Professor, Troy State University - Europe, where he taught for six years, principally in Germany, but as far a field as Turkey. He was born in California and lives now in Tennessee.

Kupując książkę wspierasz fundację Nowoczesna Polska, która propaguje ideę wolnej kultury. Wolne Lektury to biblioteka internetowa, rozwijana pod patronatem Ministerstwa Edukacji Narodowej. W jej zbiorach znajduje się kilka tysięcy utworów, w tym wiele lektur szkolnych zalecanych do użytku przez MEN, które trafiły już do domeny publicznej. Wszystkie dzieła są odpowiednio opracowane opatrzone przypisami oraz motywami. Charles Baudelaire Ur. 9 kwietnia 1821 r. w Paryżu Zm. 31 sierpnia 1867 r. w Paryżu Najważniejsze dzieła (zbiory wierszy) Kwiaty zła (1857), Sztuczne raje (1860), Paryski spleen (1864); (zbiory pism estetycznych) Salon 1845, Salon 1846, Malarz życia nowoczesnego (1863), Sztuka romantyczna (1868); Moje obnażone serce (1897) Francuski poeta i krytyk sztuki, jedna z najbardziej wpływowych postaci literatury XIX w. Zaliczany do grona tzw. ,,poetów przeklętych". Ostatni romantyk (wyprowadził własne wnioski z wielowątkowego dorobku tej epoki), był jednocześnie zwolennikiem metody realistycznej w literaturze. Bliskie sobie tematy i idee odnajdowali w jego twórczości parnasiści (sztuka dla sztuki, piękno nie jest użyteczne), wyznawcy dekadentyzmu (ból istnienia), symboliści, surrealiści czy przedstawiciele modernizmu katolickiego; w jego dorobku za równie istotne jak utwory własne uważa się przekłady wierszy Edgara Allana Poego. W 1841odbył podróż morską odwiedzając wyspy Mauritius i Reunion oraz (być może) Indie, co jako doświadczenie egzotyki wpłynęło na jego wyobraźnię poetycką. Od 1842 r. przez dwadzieścia lat był związany z półFrancuską, półAfrykanką urodzoną na Haiti Jeanne Duval, aktorką i tancerką, której poświęcił wiele ze swoich najsłynniejszych wierszy (m.in. Padlina, Do Kreolki, Sed non satiata, Zapach egzotyczny, Tańcząca żmija). Jej portret w półleżącej pozie stworzył w 1862 r. Manet. Pierwsze publikacje Baudelaire'a dotyczyły malarstwa (zbiory Salon 1845 i Salon 1846) i również później zajmował się on krytyką sztuk plastycznych (w 1855r. wydał kolejny tom szkiców), a jego artykuły poświęcone Delacroix, Ingresowi czy Manetowi (Malarz życia współczesnego) należą do kanonicznych tekstów teoretycznych o sztuce. Choć nie zajmował się muzyką, był pierwszym, który docenił dzieło Wagnera. W 1848 r. Baudelaire włączył się aktywnie w rewolucję Wiosny Ludów o epizodzie tym zadecydowały nie tyle poglądy polityczne, ile poryw ducha i osobista niechęć do ojczyma, Jacques'a Aupicka, generała armii francuskiej. Nie najlepiej czuł się w rzeczywistości ustanowionego po upadku rewolty burżuazyjnokonserwatywnego ładu II Cesarstwa; niemal jako osobistą tragedię przeżył zarządzoną przez Napoleona III przebudowę Paryża, w wyniku której wyburzono wiele ze starej, średniowiecznej zabudowy miasta. Z powodu wydanego w 1857 r. tomu poezji Kwiaty zła autor został oskarżony o obrazę moralności, skazany na grzywnę i zmuszony do usunięcia niektórych utworów (pełne wydanie ukazało się dopiero w 1913 r.). Baudelaire obracał się w kręgu najwybitniejszych twórców epoki, takich jak Balzac, Nerval, Flaubert czy Gautier. Zostawił też wiele artykułów (pisanych często na zamówienie do gazet) o współczesnych mu twórcach literatury oraz żywych portretów kolegów po piórze w pamiętnikach Moje serce obnażone czy wydanych pośmiertnie Dziennikach poufnych. Przy tej okazji formułował swój własny system filozoficznoestetyczny. Pierwsze, powierzchowne wrażenie każe uznać, że Baudelaire epatuje obrazami wszystkiego, co budzi obrzydzenie oraz śmiałą erotyką. Jednak nie zajmował się on obrazoburstwem dla niego samego, ale uznając, że świat jest słownikiem hieroglifów, uważał, że należy dostrzec i zinterpretować wszelkie przejawy rzeczywistości, co pozwoli dosięgnąć piękna będącego absolutem istniejącego poza światem; jego teoria estetyczna naznaczona była mistycyzmem w duchu Swedenborga i platońskim idealizmem. Pierwszy tom jego wierszy charakteryzuje klasyczna forma, w którą wlana została nie poruszana dotąd tematyka, natomiast Paryski spleen jako zbiór poematów prozą stanowi krok w kierunku poezji nowoczesnej. Powszechnie uważa się, że Baudelaire zmarł na syfilis, podobnie jak jego wieloletnia kochanka, był też uzależniony od laudanum i przypuszczalnie od opium, nadużywał alkoholu, przez lata pędził życie kloszarda. W 1866 r. podczas pobytu w Belgii doznał wylewu krwi do mózgu i został częściowo sparaliżowany. Rok później zmarł w klinice w Paryżu i został pochowany na cmentarzu Montparnasse. Wydaniem pozostałych po nim pism zajęła się owdowiała powtórnie matka.

The contributed volume puts emphasis on a superior role of water in (bio)systems exposed to a mechanical stimulus. It is well known that water plays an extraordinary role in our life. It feeds mammalian or other organism after distributing over its whole volume to support certain physiological and locomotive (friction-adhesion) processes to mention but two of them, both of extreme relevance. Water content, not only in the mammalian organism but also in other biosystems such as whether those of soil which is equipped with microbiome or the ones pertinent to plants, having their own natural network of water vessels, is always subjected to a force field.The decisive force field applied to the biosystems makes them biomechanically agitated irrespective of whether they are subjected to external or internal force-field conditions. It ought to be noted that the decisive mechanical factor shows up in a close relation with the space-and-time scale in which it is causing certain specific phenomena to occur.The scale problem, emphasizing the range of action of gravitational force, thus the millimeter or bigger force vs. distance scale, is supposed to enter the so-called macroscale approach to water transportation through soil or plants’ roots system. It is merely related to a percolation problem, which assumes to properly inspect the random network architecture assigned to the biosystems invoked. The capillarity conditions turn out to be of prior importance, and the porous-medium effect has to be treated, and solved in a fairly approximate way.The deeper the scale is penetrated by a force-exerting and hydrated agent the more non-gravitational force fields manifest. This can be envisaged in terms of the corresponding thermodynamic (non-Newtonian) forces, and the phenomena of interest are mostly attributed to suitable changes of the osmotic pressure. In low Reynolds number conditions, thus in the (sub)micrometer distance-scale zone, they are related with the corresponding viscosity changes of the aqueous, e.g. cytoplasmatic solutions, of semi-diluted and concentrated (but also electrolytic) characteristics. For example, they can be observed in articulating systems of mammals, in their skin, and to some extent, in other living beings, such as lizards, geckos or even insects. Through their articulating devices an external mechanical stimulus is transmitted from macro- to nanoscale, wherein the corresponding osmotic-pressure conditions apply. The content of the proposed work can be distributed twofold. First, the biomechanical mammalian-type (or, similar) systems with extraordinary relevance of water for their functioning will be presented, also including a presentation of water itself as a key physicochemical system/medium. Second, the suitably chosen related systems, mainly of soil and plant addressing provenience, will be examined thoroughly. As a common denominator of all of them, it is proposed to look at their hydrophobic and/or (de)hydration effects, and how do they impact on their basic mechanical (and related, such as chemo-mechanical or piezoelectric, etc.) properties. An additional tacit assumption employed throughout the monograph concerns statistical scalability of the presented biosystems which is equivalent to take for granted a certain similarity between local and global system’s properties, mostly those of mechanical nature. The presented work’s chapters also focus on biodiversity and ecological aspects in the world of animals and plants, and the related systems. The chapters’ contents underscore the bioinspiration as the key landmark of the proposed monograph.
