Let’s get your story moving
When the Gutenberg Press was first introduced, it was still very expensive to print something. Publishing did not come out of its infancy until the technology improved and printing became much cheaper. Eventually, books were printed en masse, and after that came the newspaper and the magazine.

The Short Story in a Polish Context: Classic Short Fiction from the Seventeenth to Twentieth Centuries
Edited and with Commentary by Oscar E. Swan
An anthology that shows how the short-fiction genre evolved in Poland, The Short Story in a Polish Context contains selections belonging to the Polish short-story canon throughout the ages. A variety of Poland’s greatest and best-known authors and interesting themes have been chosen. Several of the stories appear here in English for the first time in Oscar Swan’s masterful translations; others have been translated by other well-known literary translators of Polish. Prof. Swan’s commentaries on the stories give the reader historical context as well as providing insight into linguistic and cultural aspects that might otherwise elude the non-Polish-speaking reader. Appropriate for use as a text in a Polish literature-in-translation course, the book can also serve as a supplementary text for courses on Central European culture or simply as an introduction to Polish culture for the general reader.
Advance Praise for The Short Story in a Polish Context
“The selection of the short stories is wide-ranging historically and thematically. In this way, The Short Story in a Polish Context presents a personal, yet fairly exhaustive, account of the Polish short-story tradition through the centuries.”
“The editor has my congratulations for making an important element of Polish cultural production—the short tale and its various sub-genres—accessible to students of Polish literature and language and to general readers.”
