On the Horizon of World Literature

Emily Sun

On the Horizon of World Literature

These moments were oriented alike by “world literature” as a discursive framework of classifications that connected and re-organized local articulations of literary histories and literary modernities. World literature thus provided—and continues to provide—a condition of possibility for conversation between...

Przewóz

Andrzej Stasiuk

Przewóz

Gorący czerwiec 1941 roku. Jasne księżycowe noce, niskie bagienne łąki, cienisty sad i zimna żyła rzeki, która podzieliła świat na pół. Na jednym brzegu Niemcy, żelazny wąż czołgów, ciężarówek, maszyn. Na drugim Rosjanie. Pośrodku wiejski przewoźnik, który z jednego brzegu na drugi wozi nocą każdego, kto zapłaci. Żydowskie rodzeństwo, które w drodze do wyśnionej Ziemi Obiecanej, chowa się w stodole tuż obok kałuż świńskich wnętrzności. Chłopcy z partyzantki, wierzący jeszcze, że wojna jest...
