Tytuł oryginału: Solaris.

Kelvin is a psychologist who arrives at a space station orbiting the mysterious planet of Solaris; his mission is to ascertain whether research should be terminated due to lack of progress. He finds the station all but deserted, its straggling crew seemingly haunted by hallucinations of figures from their individual pasts. But then Kelvin himself is visited in the middle of the night by a woman who is outwardly identical to his dead wife. Will Kelvin be able to resist the disturbing ambience of Solaris, and the emotional pull towards the living, breathing likeness of the woman he loved?

Bird is a woman on the run. One minute, she’s in a meeting in her office in Birmingham – the next, she’s walking out on her job, her home, her life. It’s a day she thought might come, one she’s prepared for. But nothing could prepare her for what will happen next. As Bird tries to work out who exactly is on her trail, she must also decide who – if anyone – she can trust. Is her greatest fear that she will be hunted down, or that she will never be found? źródło opisu: materiały wydawcy

Czy to naprawdę Franciszek? : Kościół w czasach zamętu / Antonio Socci ; przełożył Marcin Masny. - Kraków : FABER, [2015]. - 445, [2] strony ; 21 cm.

Author

Socci Antonio (1959- ). Autor Masny Marcin (1964- ). Tłumacz

Subject

Benedykt XVI (papież ; 1927-2022) Franciszek (papież ; 1936- ) Kościół katolicki Papiestwo

Rok wydania wg strony www.azymut.pl.

Antonio Socci znów szokuje pasjonującą książką. Ukazuje prawdziwą burzę w Kościele, w której centrum znajduje się postać obecnego papieża - Franciszka. Kontrowersyjne tezy dotyczące abdykacji Benedykta Xvi, kwestionujące poprawność wyboru Franciszka, wspierane są przez zestawienie faktów i wypowiedzi ukazujących niezwykle dramatyczną sytuację współczesnego Kościoła. Z niezwykłą troską i zaangażowaniem autor ukazuje Kościół w sytuacji zagrożenia, w chwili, jak się wydaje, wielkiego przełomu, momencie, który może zadecydować o dalszych losach Kościoła, człowieka i świata. źródło opisu: materiały wydawcy

Maps for Lost Lovers : [książka w j. ang.] / Nadeem Aslam. - Londyn : "Faber and faber", 2004. - 369 s.; 23 cm.

Author

Aslam Nadeem (1966- ).

Genre/Form

Literatura angielska Literatura w języku angielskim

In an unnamed town Jugnu and his lover Chanda have disappeared. Rumours abound in the close-knit Pakistani community, and then on a snow-covered January morning Chanda's brothers are arrested for murder. Telling the story of the next twelve months, Maps for Lost Lovers opens the heart of a family at the crossroads of culture, community, nationality and religion, and expresses their pain in a language that is arrestingly poetic. 'This is a deeply pastoral novel, tied to the seasons and resonating with birdsong . . . Like Aslam, I was heartbroken when the dense, dark tapestry was finished.' Independent on Sunday 'Despite the violence that lies at the heart of the novel, it is a celebration of love and life. Sights and sounds, smells and colours are not so much vivid backdrops for the narrative as structural, mood- and texture-enhancing parts of it . . . This is that rare sort of book that gives a voice to those voices that are seldom heard.' Observer".
