SUMMARY:Andrzej Wajda Centenial Tour at The Trylon Cinema

SUMMARY:Polish Literature in English Reading Group - November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Józef Wittlin\, The Salt of the Earth. Translated by Patrick John Corness.\nA classic pacifist novel along the lines of All Quiet on the Western Front\, written by a Polish veteran during the interwar period and nominated for the Nobel Prize.  Just in time for Polish Independence Day and Armistice Day. \n“The villagers of the Carpathian Mountains lead a simple life at the beginning of the twentieth century – much as they have always done. They are isolated and remote\, and the advances of the outside world have not touched them. Among them – Piotr\, a bandy-legged peasant\, whose ‘entire life involved carrying things’. A notional subject of the Austro-Hungarian Empire\, all he wants in life is an official railway cap\, a cottage with a mouse-trap and cheese\, and a bride with a dowry. But then the First World War comes the mountains\, and Piotr is drafted into the army. Unwilling\, uncomprehending\, the bewildered Piotr is forced to fight a war he does not understand – against his national as well as his personal interest. In a new translation\, authorised by the author’s daughter\, Salt of the Earth is a strongly pacifist novel inspired by the Odyssey\, about the consequences of war on ordinary men.” \nPACIM Library has copies of the book available in both English and Polish. \nGoogle Meet meeting details will be emailed to individuals who register using the button below. \nThis event is free to attend\, but if you’d like to support our reading group and help cover costs\, we invite you to donate. \n    \n\n\nEvery contribution makes a difference!
