I want to present the books that fate has probably given me to keep and save from oblivion. Their history is quite dramatic for several dozen years (like the history of many other books) – they survived World War II and many years of communes in Poland – dear, listen to their history in one sentence – they survived World War II in Italy near Warsaw in the house of aunt Eugenia Maternicka and next to it, in a house owned by the Duchnowski sisters since pre-war times – this house was purchased by a friend of the late Henryk Szczygłowski and the books that were left in the house of the sisters Henio after the sale, so that they would be together – now fate allows them to revive in the virtual gallery GA.PA – thank you.

Anyone who has reached the end of the list and has some time yet to see how fantastic these books are. I chose one of them – from the Library of Wyborowych No 162 – FROM THE LAND OF FJORDÓW AND FJELDÓW author Maciej Szukiewicz (I have never heard of him in my life!) From 1900 – and let him learn about tiny fragments of the beginning and the end of the book:

Beginning of the book:

“I remember the first childish impressions today. Sometimes at dusk the three of us sat at my mother’s lap and listened to her fairy tales or memories from trips around Germany, France or Sweden. ‘

Ending the book:

“I am currently sitting with Zakopane. The autumn sun moves in the sky and mists roam the Gewont. Under the reglami, I walk along the iron road towards the evening. All pictures of distant lands and seas linger in my memory. I love the Tatra Mountains and I would not renounce them for any promised land, and yet I feel that, like the Tatra Mountains, there is something in Norway that will make you return to it. Its fjords, its fjords, air, light, greenery, its melancholy of twilight nights, the freedom of life, the righteousness of people – all this takes part of your heart and, without knowing when, you will seek a quiet haven for yourself there. And if only your heart is open to the beauty of nature, if you love silence and solitude, you will find a haven where you will rejuvenate your heart and mind when bathed in waters. ”

And with the charming thoughts of the author of the book, Maciej Szukiewicz, I cordially greet all visitors to the GA.PA National Gallery,
