Mr. Schenker now supplements his "Beginning Polish" with a
selection of fifteen unabridged, annotated short stories, each by a
different author, to be used in beginning and intermediate college
courses in Polish. All of the stories are set in contemporary
Poland, and are by authors generally considered to be among the
most significant and interesting in post-World War II Poland. Each
selection is preceded by an English-language biography and literary
appreciation of the author. Problems that might be encountered by
the reader-whether of a linguistic or cultural nature-are explained
in footnotes, and a glossary at the end of the book contains all of
the words occuring in the stories. There is no other reader dealing
exclusively with twentieth-century Polish prose."This collection of
modern (post-war) Polish short stories representing fifteen
authors, may be used, as the author suggests in the introduction,
as a companion volume to his "Beginning Polish," and is intended
for the use of first and second year students of the Polish
language."-Slavonic and East European Review
