Polityka o książkachMusisz wiedzieć, że ginę z miłości. Niezwykłe listy Marii Dąbrowskiej i Anny Kowalskiej według Sylwii ChwedorczukW najnowszym odcinku „Polityki o książkach” Justyna Sobolewska rozmawia z Sylwią Chwedorczuk o miłosnej korespondencji: „Maria Dąbrowska i Anna Kowalska. Listy, tom I, 1940–1945”. Rozmawiają o tym, co sprawia, że te listy to sprawa bez precedensu i dlaczego Maria Dąbrowska zastrzegła je na kolejnych kilkadziesiąt lat?
„Wiesz, musisz wiedzieć, że ginę z miłości, że sobie poradzić nie umiem z tym uczuciem, a raczej z całym światem najróżniejszych uczuć, pasji, gniewów, żałości”, pisze Kowalska. „Każda chwila bez ciebie wydaje mi się tak okropnie zmarnowaną i straconą”, odpowiada Dąbrowska.

Słowo za słowoJustyna Sobolewska o Jadwidze StańczakowejW tym odcinku podcastu „Słowo za słowo” rozmawiam z Justyną Sobolewską, która w swojej nowej książce kreśli czuły portret Jadwigi Stańczakowej – poetki, prozaiczki, dziennikarki, redaktorki, babci, matki, córki, żony, przyjaciółki. Niemal 30 lat po swojej śmierci Stańczakowa wychodzi z cienia Mirona Białoszewskiego. Odkąd Sobolewska pamięta, życie jej babci toczyło się wokół niego – była jego powierniczką, sekretarką, wielbicielką, kupowała mu bieliznę, załatwiała sprawy urzędowe, nagrywała jego wiersze, ich wspólny „Dziennik we dwoje”. Ale przecież była także kobietą odrębną, samotną, cierpiącą na depresję, kochającą i nig...

Mark Leonard's World in 30 MinutesThe great reset? How the EU and UK can rethink their cooperation on foreign policyWar has returned to the European continent, putting many previous divisions into perspective.

The possibility of a reset between the UK and the EU on foreign policy could be on the horizon. In this year’s mini-series, Mark Leonard and Susi Dennison examine what a reimagined EU-UK relationship might look like. In this first episode, Mark...
