PHARAOH

A groundbreaking new translation of the only historical novel by noted Polish writer Bolesław Prus—in print & e-book editions.

“ . . . unique in world literature of the nineteenth century”
--Czesław Miłosz

Imbued with poetry, leavened with humor, and graced with moments of transcendent beauty, Pharaoh offers a compelling picture of life at every level of ancient Egyptian society.

Prus is a distinctive voice in world literature and was Joseph Conrad’s favorite Polish writer. This new edition of Christopher Kasparek’s translation of Pharaoh vividly brings this extraordinary novel to life. It includes a detailed foreword and annotations, based on extensive research and textual refinements, that will enhance the reader’s appreciation not only for ancient Egypt, but also for Prus’ composition process.

POLISH CUSTOMS, TRADITIONS & FOLKLORE
By Sophie Hodorowicz Knab

Now in a paperback edition with illustrations, historical black and white photographs, and color photographs throughout the book!

Many communities of the Polish diaspora throughout the world still choose to reenact harvest celebrations, share the Christmas Eve wafer opłatek, and perform the oczepiny ceremony (the unveiling) during weddings. How did these traditions originate and what do they mean? Sophie Knab explores the history and evolution of these ancient customs and many more, guiding readers on how to keep them alive.

Arranged by month, this is an invaluable reference to the various occasions, feasts and holidays prominent in Polish culture―from Holy Week customs in December to superstitions, beliefs and rituals associated with farming, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, midsummer, harvest festival, wedding rites, Name Days, birth and death.
