Po latach zapomnienia rodzima słowiańska wiara przeżywa swój renesans.

"Książka Piotra Siudy i Anny Koralewskiej to próba wyjaśnienia fenomenu seriali anime w kontekście popularności, jaką cieszą się w samej Japonii, ale przede wszystkim w świecie Zachodu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Polski. Popularność ta przekłada się na wytworzenie się specyficznej subkultury fanów, którzy aktywnie włączają się w promocję poszczególnych seriali oraz w ich jakościowe oblicze, tłumacząc we własnym zakresie ścieżki dialogowe i tworząc napisy do filmów (często z pogwałceniem...

Przysłowia żydowskie mało się nadają do przekładu; są one przeplatane mnóstwem wyrażeń hebrajskich i innych, odnoszących się do obrządków religijnych lub zwyczajów; w przekładzie naszym oddaliśmy myśl każdego...
