Urszula Glensk wyjechała na granicę polsko-białoruską jesienią 2021 roku i do jesieni 2022 obserwowała początek kryzysu - to, jak stopniowo narastało napięcie wokół migrantów, jak na obcych reagowali miejscowi, a jak państwo. Z rozmów z mieszkańcami Podlasia, relacji wolontariuszy i uchodźców stworzyła wielowymiarową opowieść: o braku pomysłu na rozwiązanie problemu, o utracie zaufania do władzy, o motywacjach do niesienia pomocy, o agresji i przemocy funkcjonariuszy Straży Granicznej. Pinezka to kronikarski zapis wydarzeń i refleksji, choć groza panująca w tym czasie na granicy wielokrotnie wykraczała poza słowa.Książki powstają z wyobraźni, z literatury lub z życia. "Pinezka" należy do tych ostatnich - powstała z nagich faktów. Z obserwowania katastrofy humanitarnej na pograniczu polsko-białoruskim, gdy pojawiły się pierwsze informacje, że w lesie umierają ludzie. Chodziłam, oglądałam, słuchałam, notowałam i czułam, że nie rozumiem tego, co się wydarza wokół w pięknej, dzikiej, mroźnej puszczy. Dlaczego jedni zamarzają, a inni odwracają oczy? Jedni rzucają wszystko i próbują ratować "obcych", a inni zwierają szeregi i karnie wykonują rozkazy? Starałam się w tej książce oddać głos uczestnikom podlaskiej katastrofy. Opowiadają o swoich racjach, doświadczeniach i cierpieniach.Filozof Benjamin Barber mówił, że gdy jesteśmy na przyjęciu i do sadzawki wpada dziecko, wówczas nikt nie patrzy na swoje nowe lakierki za sto dolarów, tylko wszyscy rzucają się na pomoc. Jednak jeśli nie widzimy tonącego, nasze sto dolarów okazuje się ważniejsze. Czy ten model reakcji społecznej sprawdził się na Podlasiu? Nie wszyscy gapili się na lakierki.Autorka
Prezentowany zbiór esejów to pierwsze polskie opracowanie twórczości, a poniekąd także życia Flannery OConnor. Odzwierciedla obecny stan badań, jak również metodologie badawcze trzech dyscyplin naukowych: literaturoznawstwa, teologii i filozofii. Obejmuje całokształt dorobku pisarki (w tym także eseje i listy), biografię, recepcję i strategie przekładu na język polski. Flannery OConnor (19251964) opublikowała dwie krótkie, kontrowersyjne powieści i jeden tom opowiadań, które od razu przypadły czytelnikom do gustu. Drugi ukazał się już po jej śmierci. Była mistrzynią krótkich form. Stała się inspiracją dla kolejnych pokoleń pisarek, w tym Alice Munro, Joyce Carol Oates i Samanty Schweblin, artystów: Kelly Puissegur i Bennyego Andrewsa, filmowców: braci Coen i Quentina Tarantino, muzyków: Brucea Springsteena i Lucindy Williams. W jej opowiadaniach i powieściach panują przemoc i mrok, przyprawione dużą dozą czarnego humoru. Zaliczana jest do nurtu Southern Gothic (opowieść gotycka Południa Stanów Zjednoczonych), sama uważała jednak, że reprezentuje głównie pisarstwo katolickie. Należy zaznaczyć, że choć swoją teologię codzienności zwykłych ludzi uprawiała w regionie, w którym katolicy stanowili wyśmiewaną mniejszość, pozwalała sobie na bolesne ironizowanie. Publikowane po śmierci OConnor eseje i wybory listów w coraz to nowych konfiguracjach dopełniają obrazu jej pisarstwa.Obydwie powieści ukazały się w tłumaczeniach na język polski: Mądrość krwi (1992), Gwałtownicy porywają Królestwo Niebieskie (1993) oraz Mądrość krwi. Gwałtownicy je porywają (1997). Wydany w 2019 roku zbiór 31 opowiadań Ocalisz życie, może swoje własne stanowi lekcję historii przekładu. W 2020 roku opublikowano także tom Misterium i maniery. Pisma przygodne.

Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL, is one of the most famous fashion designers of all time, whose impact on the fashion world is almost unmatched. A revolutionary designer for women, his designs took traditionally male styles and reinvented them for the modern women of the 1960s. From jumpsuits to safari jackets to his iconic tuxedo, YSL’s designs revolutionised women’s clothes forever. He can be credited with making ready-to-wear clothes reputable and desirable, in a marked move away from haute couture, and for championing trousers for women.
Despite a life marred with addiction, war and mental health struggles, Yves remained a powerhouse of the fashion industry for 50 years, and his name – and initials – are now synonymous with quality, innovation and heritage. His collections may have sometimes generated controversy and criticism, but they have proved to be timeless and transformative.
The Little Guide to Yves Saint Laurent charts his tumultuous rise to the top, accompanied by facts and quotes from, and about, the man himself and the fashion legacy he built.
For over 150 years, Louis Vuitton’s monographed bags have been associated with style and luxury. Born in 1821, he had left home at 13 to seek his fortune in Paris where he became an apprentice box-maker which eventually led him to introductions at the French Royal Court. With royal endorsement, Louis opened of his first workshop in 1854 where his skills and innovations established his brand as one of Europe’s most popular.
Passing his passion for crafting beautiful luggage onto his son, Georges, and later his grandson Gaston-Louis, they ensured the company continued to grow, surviving two world wars, to become the luxury brand it’s renowned for.
Louis Vuitton stores opened in cities throughout the world and expanded into other high-end brands. The merger in 1987 with Möet Hennessy created the megabrand LVMH, and in 1997 the appointment of Marc Jacobs launched Louis Vuitton into the world of fashion.
