Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Poland Yes, we did regard the accomplished facts as not final. As much as we could, we did stick to our belief, expressed in the song to which no Pole ever listens sitting, the song; Poland Is Not Yet Lost. And when this war broke out, within a few weeks we had a declaration from the Russian commander-in-chief, a declaration that the partition of Poland had been a great wrong. And now you see all the three powers declaring that each one of them is going to give Poland happiness, to restore Poland. The Polish question is not dead; it is not buried. Fif you speak of Poland today, you may mean any one of four things. First of all, you may mean the old empire, the empire as it existed in 17 7 2, the empire which had been created by the union between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 17 72 Poland extended from a point near Berlin almost to Kief, and reached very close to the Black Sea. Secondly, you may mean by Poland, not the whole of Poland, but only what is usually called the Congress-king dom, that is, the kingdom created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the part which is now usually referred to as Russian Poland. The Congress of Vienna in 1815 took away from Prussia part of what had been assigned to her in 1795 and formed this into what is now called Poland, that is to say, Russian Poland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Without Dogma: A Novel of Modern Poland Here is a nature so sensitive that it photographs every impression, an artistic temperament, a highly endowed organism; yet it produces nothing. The se cret of this unproductiveness lies perhaps in a cer tain tendency to analyze and philosophize away every strong emotion that should lead to action. Here is a man in possession of two distinct selves, - the one emotional, active; the other eternally occupied in self-contemplation, judgment, and criticism. The one paralyzes the other He defines himself as a genius without a portfolio, just as there are certain minis ters-oi - state without portfolios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dantzig Poland It is very Significant that, right to our own day, this fearful tragedy of Dantzig was either presented as doubtful by the Prussian historians or else only mentioned as of no importance; it was even set in a specially pro pitious light. A modern Prussian professor of history, even though he questions the number of victims given as ten thousand by the sources, cannot deny the fact of a cruel Slaughter, to which fell victims, as he puts it generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kobiety (Women): A Novel of Polish Life It is a fine summer afternoon, and sultry. In the pines overhead there is a faint mur mur, continuous, a little sad; the birches, with their slender waving boughs, utter a quiet whisper, but no breeze is to be felt. As I lie here, I presently fall to crooning a sing-song chant - not any known air, but one made up of many tunes, heard long ago, or never heard at all. The words, too, are either remembered, or they spring up as I sing. If the rhyme fails me, I do not break off the tune to find one, but make an assonance do just as well. So I sing of a dream I have dreamt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Modern Poland written by Ludwik Ehrlich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Poland And to address you on the subject, to try to inform you about Poland, is to try to serve Poland, because the very thing that Poland wants is that people should know more about her. Since Poland was divided, was cut into pieces, at the end of the eighteenth century, ever so many calumnies have been spread about her. If you met anyone outside of Poland who had heard about her, as likely as not he would have heard things which on mere consideration would prove to be false.1 But still those are the things you have heard. To call your attention to Poland is to serve her, and to be allowed to address an audience like this is an opportunity. I am obliged to you, Professor Noyes, for giving me this opportunity, and I am obliged to this audience for having come to hear me. The Polish question is a very curious one. You may know, or perhaps you may not know, that people have asserted again and again that the Polish question did not exist. Fifty years ago that great charlatan, Thomas Carlyle, said that the Polish question was "a thing dead and buried." And today Carlyle's teaching is dead and buried, and the Polish question is as much alive as ever. Not many years ago, Prince von Burow, sometime Chancellor of Germany (until 1908), after having resigned that position wrote a book, which has been translated into English under the title Imperial Germany. He is reported to be playing an important diplomatic role even during the present war, and hence his words are all the more characteristic of the German attitude.

Download or read book The Power of Print in Modern China written by Robert Culp and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid early twentieth-century China’s epochal shifts, a vital and prolific commercial publishing industry emerged. Recruiting late Qing literati, foreign-trained academics, and recent graduates of the modernized school system to work as authors and editors, publishers produced textbooks, reference books, book series, and reprints of classical texts in large quantities at a significant profit. Work for major publishers provided a living to many Chinese intellectuals and offered them a platform to transform Chinese cultural life. In The Power of Print in Modern China, Robert Culp explores the world of commercial publishing to offer a new perspective on modern China’s cultural transformations. Culp examines China’s largest and most influential publishing companies—Commercial Press, Zhonghua Book Company, and World Book Company—during the late Qing and Republican periods and into the early years of the People’s Republic. He reconstructs editors’ cultural activities and work lives as a lens onto the role of intellectuals in cultural change. Examining China’s distinct modes of industrial publishing, Culp explains the emergence of the modern Chinese intellectual through commercial and industrial processes rather than solely through political revolution and social movements. An original account of Chinese intellectual and cultural history as well as global book history, The Power of Print in Modern China illuminates the production of new forms of knowledge and culture in the twentieth century.
