Bolesław Prus (pronounced: [bɔ'lεswaf 'prus]; August 20, 1847 – May 19, 1912), born Aleksander Głowacki, was a Polish journalist, short-story writer, and novelist of the Polish Positivist period. He is one of the most important figures in Polish letters, and one of the most distinctive voices in world literature.

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Bolesław Leśmian - Works

A skilled poet, Leśmian developed a unique style of his own. In his poems, in a fantastical, mythical and fabulous environment, often related to the Polish folklore and traditions, he described his life philosophy. Protagonists of his works are usually handicapped humans, striving between their culture and the nature, unable to accept his fate. He also expressed the idea that the poets are examples of primitive mankind, the only ones to b ...

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Music of Poland - Traditional music

Polish folk music was collected in the 19th century by Oskar Kolberg, as part of a wave of Polish national revival. With the coming of the world wars and then the Communist state, folk traditions were oppressed or subsumed into state-approved folk ensembles. The most famous of the state ensembles are Mazowsze and Śląsk, both of which still perform. Though these bands had a regional touch to their output, the overall sound was a homogenized mixture of Polish styles. There were more authentic state-supported groups, such as Słowianki, but the Communist sanitized image of folk music made the whole field seem unhip to y ...

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Polish literature - History

Polish literature - Middle Ages. The earliest monuments of Polish literature date back to the Middle Ages. Inspired by Christian traditions recently imported from elsewhere in Europe, local anonymous copyists prepared copies of books — mostly religious — that were popular in western Europe. About the 11th century local scriptoria were founded, and the first books were created on Polish soil. Notable examples of early Polish books include the Latin Mis ...

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Poland - History

The style and personality of Polish life has been shaped over a thousand years.

In the 19th and 20th centuries Poles' concentration on cultural advancement often took the place of political and economic activity. These factors have contributed to the versatile character ...

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Music of Poland - Contemporary Music

Poland has always been a very open country to new music genres and even before the fall of the communism music styles like rock, metal, jazz, electronic, and New Wave were well-known. Since 1989, the Polish scene has exploded with new talents and a more diverse style. Contrary to most European countries, pop music is not dominant in Poland. It is completely overshadowed by rock and, to a lesser degree, by hip hop. Alternative music styles, such as black metal, gothic ...

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Music of Poland - 17th and 18th centuries

In the last years of the 16th century and the first part of the 17th century, a number of Italian musicians were guests at the royal courts of Sigismund III and Władysław IV.

Young Poland: Encyclopedia II - Music of Poland - Classical music

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Polish classical music evolved into national forms like the polonaise, and produced such composers as Frederick Chopin. Poland was then a center for musical development before declining. Karol Szymanowski soon gained prominence, however, and, like Chopin, included elements of Polish traditional music in his works. He was the most well-known Polish composer prior to World War I. Between the wars, a group of composers formed the Association of Young Polish Musicians; these included Grażyna Bacewicz, Zygmunt ...
