Did YOU ever READ any POLISH BOOK? If so, then what it was?

[pulstar]

This was some time ago, but yeah, I read one:

[Salty Ears]

Boleslav Prus (Lalka) and Stanislav Lem (Solaris, Obłok Magellana e.t.c.), maybe someone else

how could i forget about Czesław Janczarski and his Teddy Floppy-ear series

I've read part of "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era" by Zbigniew Brzezinski. But in the case that he's a crypto-Jew, I don't know if he counts as Polish.

He said that when he was in college, most of his friends were Jewish, and that when he is abroad, the only country apart from Poland where he feels at home is Israel (https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...ezinski-100354):

CG: When you were at Columbia, you told me that most of your friends were Jewish. Is that still true?

ZB: It is, but it sounds like that awful joke, "Some of my best friends are Jewish. ..." I have no patience for those in the American Jewish community who just go around slandering people as anti-Semites without realizing that what they're doing is really trivializing anti-Semitism. I hope - actually, I think - that it's beginning to change now.

Just one more thought: You know, the only country, apart from Poland, where I feel really at home when I'm abroad is Israel. That's where I remember - even relive - my childhood. In Israel, there are so many people there from Poland, and we speak Polish together.

I was checking him once. Not too deep ancestry, but nothing jewish about him.

Many of them.

The last one I can remember is one of the books of the Henryk Sienkiewicz "Polish trilogy", in Spanish "Un héroe Polaco", I think that the original and the english title is "the deluge".

[Jana]

With Fire and Sword

[Jana]

Also The Tin Drum by Günter Grass if you'd count it in Polish literature (he was Kashubian/German/Polish mix from Gdansk)

[Rethel]

Many of them.

The last one I can remember is one of the books of the Henryk Sienkiewicz "Polish trilogy", in Spanish "Un héroe Polaco", I think that the original and the english title is "the deluge".

"The Deluge" is only one part of trylogy in three bands.
First is "With Sword and Fire" in two bands.
And last "Colonell Wołodyjowski" in one band.

Some kind of collection by Stanislav Lem - I can say with confidence that this is one of the best science fiction writers of all time. He saw the future exactly as the future - the mentality of people in his works changed from a consumer one (in which the path to the future is closed) to a creative one, while most authors do not understand this and simply project the mentality of people of the 20th century without changes into the future worlds. For this reason, Lem also rightly criticized the post-Stalinist USSR - for stopping attempts to create a "new man" - the creator and returning to the petty-bourgeois path.

Don't think so, the only Polish books I know are those by Stanislaw Lem and the witcher books, but haven't read any of them.
