Ewa Elżbieta Nowakowska, a Krakow poet, translator and essayist, from the very beginning of her creative path openly expresses her admiration for her hometown and the world in the broadest sense. Her latest book is a record of the Author's fascination - books by foreign writers, mainly English-speaking, and Polish, especially Krakow. These essays contain not only an empathetic, subjective reading of a poet sensitive to the matter of the word, but also a dialogue with the contexts of art, history, translation studies (and even self-translation) or biblical archetext.

This book can be read as the Author's literary diary from over twenty years - her interests, fascinations and inspirations, but also as a compass for accurate choices - an original confrontation with outstanding works and sometimes the discovery of lesser-known creators. The author, aware of the changes in her own writing and thinking, has supplemented the texts and provided them with comments, creating a unique dialogue with the reader.

Universitas Publishing House presents a collection of essays, reviews and sketches that are a record of the intellectual and artistic searches of Ewa Elżbieta Nowakowska. This is a must-read for all literature lovers who appreciate in-depth analyses and personal reflections.
