Augustyniak Piotr, Wyspiański: demolition of the Polish church: a study of "Wyzwolenie", Znak Publishing House, Kraków 2019, pp. 297, [1], dimensions 14.5 x 20.5 cm. Publisher's booklet cover.
Are we looking at a social awakening of Poles today? The so-called good change has caused a widespread eruption of energy and activity. Why, despite this, can't we free ourselves from the fetters of trivial romanticism into which Mickiewicz and Sienkiewicz have shackled us? Why can't we tear down the church of petrified thought, tradition and history?
Stanislaw Wyspianski helps us truly rise from our knees. In Liberation he names our fears, prejudices and absurd behaviors that hinder social development and condemn us to stagnation. Piotr Augustyniak proves that Wyspianski's universal thought can become a remedy for social impasse.
