Książki ....do myślenia

     Czasami mam wrażenie cierpię na analfabetyzm wtórny.Z powodu nadmiaru informacji zalewającej istotę szarą organu zwanego mózgiem.

     Jednak pierwotny zaśpiew wprost z duszy mojej każe mi przypominać sobie wszystko, co piękne i czyste, co mnie zachwycało wcześniej, i do tej pory zachwyca.

     Sięgam po “Książkę do Pisania” dedykowaną Wisławie Sz. i jestem w domu, bezpieczna i zaopiekowana .Słowa płyną przez ze mnie jak wody źródlane.Odbijam się w nurtach myśli najczystszej.Odnajduję Siebie właśnie.

     I to jest moje osobiste poczucie bezpieczeństwa.

     I moje szczęście w spotkaniach nieuchwytnych, nierzeczywistych z Józiem Czapskim.Poprzez piękne sploty myśli człowieczej z odległych rejonów barwnej opowieści postulującej o pokój myśli i zdarzeń.

     Jego wysokość Józef wyznawca pacyfizmu....choć wędrowcem w stanach wojen bywał i jako mediator i jako antagonista.

     A przenajświętsza radość wydobyta z nietuzinkowych splotów myśli płodnej Szymborskiej Wisławy w limerykach , ot dla żartu pisanych na prędce z fikuśnym szkicem rewolweru.

     Ot! I cała wrażliwość nie do unicestwienia.Nie do podrobienia!

Arnaud.' (1952) This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of the death of the Polish painter and writer Józef Czapski. His painting is inextricably entwined with that of  Józef Pankiewicz and, as a member of the Kapists, was under the influence of the French post impressionists

"Seen as conceptual works on paper as well as notations for reference, the diagrams are aesthetically compelling drawings on their own terms. They exhibit a kind of mutant strain of ekphrasis--not the use of words to describe a visual work but the deconstruction of a work of art into words and colors." --Eric Karpeles on the diagrams Józef Czapski made for the lectures on Proust he delivered to his fellow Soviet prison inmates

NYRB Fall Preview 2020: NYRB Classics (November)

In November, we have a newly translated volume of Józef Czapski’s haunting memoirs of the Soviet Starobielsk prison camp and insightful reflections on art making, alongside Leonora Carrington’s The Hearing Trumpet, a delightful surrealist adventure set in the strangest of nursing homes.

Józef Czapski, Memories of Starobielsk

The Polish artist, writer, and army officer Józef Czapski became a Soviet prisoner during World War II—experiences he illuminated in Lost Time and Inhuman Land, previously published by NYRB Classics. This new volume includes his memoirs of the doomed men of the Starobielsk prison camp, where he was one of just a few Polish officers to escape execution. Also included are a selection of Czapski’s essays on art, history, and literature.

Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet

Beloved by Björk, Ali Smith, and Luis Buñuel, The Hearing Trumpet is a fantastic romp starring an eccentric ninety-two-year-old woman who is institutionalized by her family. But this is no ordinary institution: the buildings are shaped like cakes and igloos, the residents must undergo bizarre religious training, and it houses an ancient, mysterious magic. This feminist fable by the treasured surrealist painter remains one of the most original and inspirational of all fantastic novels.

"Jest takie zdanie zszarzałe, odarte ze znaczenia przez potoczną literaturę: pragnienie przytulenia głowy do kogoś. Jakże prawdziwie doświadczyłem, że to nie retoryka. Że ten, do którego to pragnienie jest odczute – to jedyny, ten najbliższy człowiek. Rozumiem, że jeśli mnie to ominie – to groźba, to ciężka – może ostatnia krzywda, jaka mnie w życiu czeka. Bliski człowiek, który nie bałby się niczego ze mnie, wszystko widzi, wie – nie zląkłby się mojego – tak jak ja nie boję się Twojego cierpienia”. Józef Czapski, Ludwik Hering "Listy, t. 1"
