One of the leading Polish writers from the end of the 20th century published his Diaries in 1981 and 1982, which cover the turbulent period of events in Poland in 1978-1984. This is a book of selections from those diary entries.
The collection represents the author's return to literature after almost four decades of silence. It consists of short prose texts - sketches - that are more plot-rich and reflective than his earlier collection, Leaves from 1887.
"The Life of an Artist", by Ilya Gruzdev, is a biographical work that deals with the life and work of Maxim Gorky, one of the most important Russian writers and social reformers.
