On Poland
Dr. Ewa Thompson, Professor
at Rice University, has shared an article entitled "Karol Wojtyla's Literary Milieu: The Formation of a Moral Conscience,"
in Crisis, October 1984, pp. 18-22.
She has also recommended the following for background reading on Poland:
Ways of Remembering:
the Case of Poland (Toronto Slavic Quarterly)-- on why so little is known
of Polish history
Sarmatian Review:
read more or less everything that attracts their attention, especially book reviews.
In recent issues, recommended are the following reviews:
•
"The Mermaid and the Messerschmitt"
a moving account of the destruction of Warsaw (far exceeding the destruction of
Dresden)
•
"Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War"
on Western blindness and Western mistakes concerning WW2
and two medieval Polish thinkers:
•"On
just and unjust wars"
•"Justice
and Mercy. . ."
Polish thirteenth-century chronicler (and bishop) meditates on these philosophical
concepts
also, "The Spirit of
Polish History"
a spiritual interpretation of Polish history
Of Dr. Thompson's work, she recommends the following (which may be found on her
website):
• Nationalist Propaganda in the Soviet Russian Press
•
Zbigniew Herbert: the courage to Live
• Postmodernism
and European Memory
• The Katyn Massacre and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
