Nobel Prize in literature for a Polish writer


On October 10, the world went round with information about the awarding of the Nobel Prize in literature to the Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk. This is a great distinction for Poland. Earlier, Henryk Sienkiewicz and Czesław Miłosz received the Nobel Prize in literature. Before winning, Tokarczuk, Poland was last awarded in 1996. Wisława Szymborska took the prix.

Here are some of the works of this year's winner:

  • Miasto w lustrach [The City in Mirrors] (in Polish). 
  • Podróż ludzi Księgi [Journey of the People of the Book] (in Polish)
  • Prowadź swój pług przez kości umarłych [Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead]. 
  • Księgi Jakubowe [The Books of Jacob] (in Polish)

Based on one of her books, the screenplay for the movie Pokot from 2017 was created.


It is a great honor for Poland and for Polish women.

Congratulations!

M.

Worlds of future Have you ever wondered what the world will look like in a hundred years? Will everyone have a robot, or will robots replace people? The robot can replace the broken part, man is not so easy. What about cars? Are  the flying cars fiction or is it an idea closer to implementation than we think? Once, no one thought about telephones, and now the world is dominated by smartphones that take pictures, have an alarm clock, a flashlight, a clock and a million other functions installed to make life easier. I think everyone knows the Back to the Future movie series. Are travel in time possible?  Certainly it is an invention that people with their own companies, businessmen, politicians or even singers who have two concerts a day would benefit from. And finally, do aliens really exist? There is so much evidence that people are not alone in the universe. Famous crop circles, light appearing and disappearing, strange n...

Art of light When talking about light, it is worth visiting cities where light shows take place. In the city where Mikołaj Kopernik was born, i.e. in Toruń, an amazing festival of light takes place every year- Bella Skyway Festiwal At the end of August, crowds gather in the streets of Toruń to participate in a unique performance Tourists who come from all over the world have the opportunity to see laser shows on important city buildings. It's not everything. The city is full of light installations. However, it is worth taking a map with you to find the most interesting places. The authors of these works are people who come from the farthest corners of the world. Sometimes aircraft shows are organized. Every few minutes, short films ideally suited to the shape of the object appear on the buildings. The city really shines these days. Every year different installations are shown, artists outdo each other in ideas. This is a great promotion for Toruń, because su...

Signs of autumn are slowly coming through the windows. The leaves change colors, the air is not so warm anymore. There are still quite a few sunny days and it makes me very happy, but the thought of autumn is also quite pleasant. I would like to present a few reasons why autumn is cool: 1. The leaves change their colors, which creates a wonderful view outside the window 2. Chestnuts are starting to fall from the trees and you can make funny creatures of them 3. Autumn is the perfect time for evenings with a cup of hot chocolate and your favorite book or movie 4. You can dress wellies and you can also  slosh around in puddle I personally love autumn because I can wear my warm sweaters and thick socks M. source: https://embroiddesigns.com/images/product/SW08129-sweater-weather-embroidery-design.jpg
