The History of Poland and its Literature since 1918

Situation 2 "Generation of BruLion'' -the young poets and writers who make their debuts in democratic Poland. They rebel against the official culture and have no respect for authorities, believing that everyone has to face his moral dilemmas. In searching for the meaning they take up any issue. Nothing is "tabu" or "sacred"; and scandal appears to be a natural outcome of the creative process.

Memorable Quotations: Polish Writers
"No technological achievements can mitigate the disappointment of modern man, his loneliness, his feeling of inferiority, and his fear of war, revolution and terror. Not only has our generation lost faith in Providence but also in man himself, in his institutions and often in those who are nearest to him."
Isaac Bashevis Singer

"When reasons are weak, attitudes stiffen."
Stanis³aw Lec

"On the one hand, we have no choice but to trust in our technology. Without it we would never have set foot on the Moon. But sometimes we have to pay a high price for that trust."

"People make filthy things with the freedom they regained."

"Practically all SF is trash."
Stanis³aw Lem
