Polen denkt Europa
Politische Texte aus zwei Jahrhunderten
by Anne Altmayer, Jan Conrad, Jutta Conrad, Friedrich Griese, Ewa Heyde, Peter Oliver Loew, Peter Oliver Loew
Polens Traum: Europa. Polens Zweifel: Europa. Polens Realität: Europa. über die Jahrhunderte hinweg bewegte Europa die Polen, bewegte Polen Europa. Diskussionen entbrannten, Heere marschierten, Bücher erschienen, Grenzen verschwanden und entstanden, immer wieder: die Suche nach Heimat, Vaterland, Europa. Jahrhundertelang stellten sich die Menschen zwischen Warthe, Weichsel, Bug und Dniepr die Frage nach dem Kontext der Nation: War es Europa, sein Westen, sein Osten, der Orient? Oder lag Polen im Mittelpunkt einer echt ostmitteleuropäischen Tradition – als Kernland der Sarmaten, der ewig Leidenden, als 'Zwischeneuropa' irgendwo zwischen Rom, Moskau und Byzanz? Beendet die Aufnahme Polens in die Europäische Union im Mai 2004 die Suche Polens nach dem Ort der Nation in Europa? Peter Oliver Loew zeichnet in einer Auswahl von Berichten, Essays und Gedichten aus zwei Jahrhunderten die Entwicklung des polnischen Europadenkens nach. Der Band enthält Texte von Stanislaw Leopold Brzozowski, Jan Parandowski, Józef ChalasiDski, Pawel Hertz, Jaroslaw Marek Rymkiewicz, Marcin Król, Johannes Paul II., Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Czeslaw Milosz und vielen anderen.

Posttraumatische Souveränität
Ein Essay
by Jarosław Kuisz, Karolina Wigura, Dorothea Traupe
Mit dem Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine ist die alte mitteleuropäische Angst zurück: Opfer der Großmächte zu werden. Anders als in Deutschland, von dessen Boden zwei Weltkriege ausgegangen sind, gab es in Warschau, Tallinn und anderswo kein Zögern. Nur wer selbst angegriffen und, wie Polen, sogar einmal ganz von der Landkarte getilgt wurde, versteht, dass militärische Selbstverteidigung gerechtfertigt ist. In ihrem luziden Essay beschreiben Karolina Wigura, Ideenhistorikerin, und Jarosław Kuisz, Politikwissenschaftler, wie der heutige Krieg historische Traumata reaktiviert; warum Warschau eine Führungsrolle in der europäischen Verteidigungspolitik übernimmt, obwohl die Regierungspartei PiS die EU als Bedrohung der eigenen Souveränität beschwört.

Literary Travel Guide Upper Silesia
Five Tours through a baroque, (post)industrial, green and mystical Borderland
by Marcin Wiatr
Upper Silesia – a region in Poland with an eventful past, characterized by diverse cultures which influence each other and overlap. Here people live together, who feel themselves as Polish, German or Upper Silesian. Impulses for regional identity gives the multilingual literature. Here Joseph von Eichendorff, Max Herrmann-Neisse and Horst Bienek were born. Also Janosch has set a literary monument to his homeland, Tadeusz Różewicz lived and wrote here, Jaromír Nohavica sang about the region and director Kazimierz Kutz captured it in a film trilogy. The book literarily presents Upper Silesian places like Neisse/Nysa, Gleiwitz/Gliwice, Myslowitz/Mysłowice, Lubowitz/Łubowice and St. Annaberg/Góra Świętej Anny by examples of location, architecture, industry, landscape and mysticism.

When Hell Struck Twelve
A Billy Boyle WWII Mystery
by James R. Benn
In the 14th Billy Boyle mystery, US Army detective Billy Boyle and Lieutenant Kazimierz travel into the heart of Nazi-occupied Paris on a dangerous mission: ensure a traitor to the French Resistance unwittingly carries out a high-stakes deception campaign. August, 1944: US Army detective Billy Boyle is assigned to track down a French traitor, code-named Atlantik, who is delivering classified Allied plans to German leaders in occupied Paris. The Resistance is also hot on his trail and out for blood, after Atlantik’s previous betrayals led to the death of many of their members. But the plans Atlantik carries were leaked on purpose, a ruse devised to obscure the Allied army’s real intentions to bypass Paris in a race to the German border. Now Billy and Kaz are assigned to the Resistance with orders to not let them capture the traitor: the deception campaign is too important. Playing a delicate game, the chase must be close enough to spur the traitor on and visible enough to ensure the Germans trust Atlantik. The outcome of the war may well depend on it.

The Red Horse
(A Billy Boyle WWII Mystery)
by James R. Benn
Just days after the Liberation of Paris, US Army Detective Billy Boyle and Lieutenant Kazimierz are brought to Saint Albans Convalescent Hospital in the English countryside. Kaz has been diagnosed with a heart condition, and Billy is dealing with emotional exhaustion and his recent methamphetamine abuse. Meanwhile, Billy’s love, Diana Seaton, has been taken to Ravensbrück, the Nazi concentration camp for women, and Kaz’s sister, Angelika, who he recently learned was alive and working with the Polish Underground, has also been captured and transported to the same camp. This news is brought by British Major Cosgrove, who asks Billy for help, unofficially, in solving what he thinks was the murder of a British agent recuperating at Saint Albans. The convalescent hospital is really a secret installation for those in the world of clandestine warfare to recover from wounds, physical and emotional. Some are allowed to leave; others are deemed security risks and are detained there. When a second body is found, it is evident that a killer is at work in this high-security enclave. Now Billy must carry out his covert investigation while maintaining his tenuous recovery, shielding his actions from suspicious hospital authorities, and dodging the unknown murderer.

Before Amoris Laetitia
The Sources of the Controversy
by Jaroslaw Kupczak, Grzegorz Ignatik
The publication of Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia started the most important theological debate in the Catholic Church since the end of the Second Vatican Council. The cardinals, bishops, theologians, priests, lay Catholics found themselves on the opposite sides of this crucial and complicated discussion. This book attempts to shed some light on this debate by tracing its genealogy. Since Amoris Laetitia is a post-synodal document, the large part of the book is devoted to the theological analysis of the two Synods of Bishops convoked by Pope Francis in the first years of his pontificate: the extraordinary in October 2014 and the ordinary that took place a year later. The main topics for the two synods were determined, however, in the speech given by Cardinal Walter Kasper during the cardinals consistory in February 2014 whose main aim was to prepare the possibility of admitting divorced persons who live in second unions to Holy Communion. The arguments of Cardinal Kasper are presented in the first chapter of the book and confronted with the most significant statements of the Magisterium of the Church on the issue of admittance to the Holy Communion. This book is a study at the intersection of Church history, the history of theology, and systematic theology: dogmatic and moral. Kupczak is interested in the chronology of the events connected to the two synods on the family but in the context of theological problems discussed therein: the theological significance of contemporary cultural changes; the relation of the Church to the world; the understanding of the indissolubility of the sacramental marriage and the Eucharist; the methods of ethically assessing human acts, particularly the concept of so-called intrinsically evil acts (intrinsece malum); and the relation of conscience to the general moral norm. The non-partisan ambition of this book is to serve as a “road map”— a help in navigation for the reader in the complicated discussions leading to publication of Amoris Laetitia. The uniqueness of this book consists in combining the historical analysis of the events leading to the publication of Amoris Laetitia with research of the theological discussion that ensued. Since Amoris Laetitia is a post-synodal exhortation, this book rests on the assumption that crucial for its understanding is a thorough analysis of its genealogy. Only in the light of this historical and theological perspective the debates surrounding Amoris Laetitia may be understood.
