Figurationen des Polnischen sind im Werk Fontanes auffallend vertreten, fanden jedoch bislang nur in Teilaspekten Beachtung. Die Studie widmet sich erstmals systematisch und gattungsubergreifend der textuellen Modellierung des Polnischen bei Fontane, geht diachronen Verschiebungen nach, aber auch thematischen und narrativen Konstanten. Zum einen konfliktreich mit Preuen verzahnt (seit den polnischen Teilungen stellen die Polen dort die grote und widerstandigste Minderheit), zum anderen uber ein nationalstereotyp gepragtes Attraktionspotential verfugend, erweist sich Polen als ambivalentes politisch-asthetisches Phanomen von hoher Produktivitat und Funktionalisierbarkeit in nichtfiktionalen wie autobiographischen Texten, in der Lyrik und im erzahlerischen Werk. Die Untersuchung befasst sich mit Figuren, die polnischer Herkunft sind oder sich als Polen ausweisen, mit abstrakten Textgroen wie polnischen Orten und Raumen, popularen Polenliedern und stereotypen Mustern. Ausfuhrliche Analysen zu Vor dem Sturm"e;, Unterm Birnbaum"e;, Cecile"e; und Mathilde Mohring"e; zeigen, wie vielstimmig Fontanes Narrative auf das spannungsgeladene preuisch-polnische Verhaltnis als resistentes Dauerproblem fur Preuen(-Deutschland) rekurrieren.

This book highlights the role of Romani musical presence in Central and Eastern Europe, especially from Krakow in the Communist period, and argues that music can and should be treated as one of the main points of relation between Roma and non-Roma. It discusses Romani performers and the complexity of their situation as conditioned by the political situations starkly affected by the Communist regime, and then by its fall. Against this backdrop, the book engages with musician Stefan Dymiter (known as Corroro) as the leader of his own street band: unwelcome in the public space by the authorities, merely tolerated by others, but admired by many passers-by and respected by his peer Romain musicians and international music stars. It emphasizes the role of Romani musicians in Krakow in shaping the soundscape of the city while also demonstrating their collective and individual strategies to adapt to the new circumstances in terms of the preferred performative techniques, repertoire, and overall lifestyle.

This book analyzes the subversive power of twentieth-century Polish fiction, showing that it helped to undermine nationalist and homophobic ideologies that are still at play in Poland today. The author argues that the transgressive reading of Polish literature can challenge the many binaries that conservative, heteronormative ideology depends upon.

The history of Enigma is of interest to many researchers and authors on an international scale. The capture and unraveling of the most hidden secret of the army of the Third Reich that was decisive for the fate of one of the greatest armed conflicts in the history of the world appeals to everyone from the avid historian to Hollywood. So far, other authors' attention has focused on the technical and cryptological issues of Enigma functioning, the fate of the Bletchley Park facility, or Alan Turing's story. Most of the attention was devoted to the events during the Second World War and it is the time frame of this conflict that usually begins and ends the story of Enigma. The First Enigma Codebreaker raises an issue that has never been discussed in greater detail in both international and Polish literature, the story of Marian Rejewski. This biography answers the questions: in what conditions was the ""Enigma conqueror"" brought up, in what circumstances did he manage to decode the machine, what happened to him during the Second World War and why he never ended up in Bletchley Park, what price he had to pay for his discovery in the communist Poland and what he did to make the world know the true history of Enigma. This is the story of a man who made a revolution in cryptology, about the rivalry between man and machine, about powerful history affecting individual lives, and about the life of Marian Rejewski whose story is still waiting to be presented to the public.
