Stwarzanie Australii

Abstrakt

The review of Magdalena Bąk’s  Gdzie diabeł (tasmański) mówi dobranoc. Wizerunek Australii w literaturze polskiej (Where a (Tasmanian) devil says good-bye. The image of Australia in Polish literature)  outlines a well-researched presentation of  Australian interests in Polish literature in the historical context. The publication is recognized for its pioneering attempt to show a diversity of Australian topics in a variety of literary genres (travel books, memoires, personal accounts, novel and poetry).  The reviewed book is also valued for its focus on the forgotten chapter of the 19th century Polish works dealing with Australia.
