my favorite Polish painter.
For me it's maczkiewitzh
we have 4 Nobel prize in literature recipents, but of course American only heard about a second grade pulp fantasy writer because they made vidya based on his books
Cringe, read Lem
you also have the whole of Prussia and the German city of Danzig
>What is Kaliningrad?
Mine is Ryszard Kapuściński, he was an Jow Forumsellectual like us.
based
Absolutely based. He's got some great stuff.
If you're interested in Jow Forums stuff, check out Bronisław Malinowski as well
Do you have any reccomendations? I would prefer fantasy but I'll read anything.

Nothing is coming up.
It isn't that bad. I will admit that there were some cringe-worthy things in Blood of Elves (the scene where Triss is mentions masturbating comes to mind), but the lore building is really good. I made sure to do some research on Polish culture before reading the book.
Thanks, I just added a few of his books to my reading list.
My favourite painter in the world. He also happened to be Polish so good luck for me.
Added some books of his to my list.
LEM
E

Lem and Dukaj, they write sci-fi, not fantasy, but they're great, Lem especially. I'm not that much into fantasy so I can't help you with that, I'm not even sure what authors are translated to english

>Nothing is coming up.
perhaps he meant Stanisław Mackiewicz, he was an interwar period journalist. he wrote books about history and geopolitics of Poland and the region in general. quite based and redpilled fella if I dare say so
My favorite polish ski jumper

interwar journalist and later he wrote books, I forgot a part of mmy sentence.
Jane Ahonen w następnych zawodach cię pokonam.
Trilogy by Sienkiewicz. Sapkowski's favourite books, they are historical fiction set in the times of the fall of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
:------DDDDD :--DDDDDDD
>I'm not even sure what authors are translated to english
Most of they should be in English, his books are from the Sixties.
Thanks.
> they are historical fiction set in the times of the fall of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Sounds interesting. When I was researching Poland it was briefly mentioned.
Are his novels anything like that pasta that starts with 'oi witcha bloody hell m8'? that spoofs the gameplay of W3? Cause if that's so, I'll get one of this books asap.

My parents have that religious-themed historical novel of his lying around since forever. Once borrowed Transatlantic but I just wasn't into difficult modernist texts right then. But I've had him in the back of my mind and fully intend a second go at Transatlantic. Maybe now I'll actually do it.
i cant read lol
He looks like the diabeetus guy.
>>*the only Polish author I know
Everybody knows j. Conrad
His books are dogshit and he's a greedy retard. Only The Witcher 3 was any good and that was because of the extraordinary attention to detail and art direction.
>unironically liking the Witcher games
Opinion discarded.
I wouldn't know, I don't know what pasta you a referencing.
I'll add it to the list.
We are actually kinda torn ourselves on whether to consider him a "Polish" author. I mean, Conrad was a Pole, but all his acclaimed stuff was written in English, on emmigration, and touched exclusively on Western issues.
Hurr durr
If he was Polish then he is Polish. Krauts have no right to Kopernik and yet they claim him.
Mine would be that guy who writes about adventures in the Sea
Forgot the name
Gabrowicz stuff is crazy but plays based on his books are top tier.
more details
Does anyone know about Lem outside Russian and Poland?
Here he's popular mostly because he was one of the "ideologically correct" sci-fi writers and his books was printed in millions.
>Lem's books have been translated into 41 languages and have sold over 45 million copies
I know Philip K Dick thought he didn't exist and was actually a soviet propaganda committee

Also Jan Czekanowski but his work was more about anthropology and race.
?
I know him because I watched Tarkovsky's Solaris in my teenage high brow film phase
Only Polish writer I know is Ligotti
This. The books are literally edgy teenager - tier. The games are so far the only palatable things from the entire franchise.
He achieved cult status only because he started out in 1980s,when fantasy genre was still a novelty in Poland.
Very based post
The games bastardized his work.
