Która lektura jest lepsza - "Kłopoty Kacperka góreckiego skrzata" Zofii Kossak-Szczuckiej czy "Asiunia" Joanny Papuzińskiej?

O "Kacperku": "

"Kłopoty Kacperka góreckiego skrzata to porywająca historia przygód starego skrzata i jego przyjaciół zamieszkujących dom w Górkach Wielkich na Śląsku Cieszyńskim. Czytając relację o skrzacich kłopotach, bierzemy udział w wyprawie do tajemniczego starego dworu, będącego siedzibą nie tylko słynnej rodziny Kossaków, ale i przyjaznych ludziom baśniowych stworków. Wędrując wraz z Kacperkiem po zakamarkach domu poznajemy niezwykłe obyczaje kanaponów, igi-igi, akwadona, kluczka, pirusków. Odkrywamy wraz z nimi fascynujący świat pięknego domostwa i konieczność ciągłej duchowej walki o dziejące się w nim dobro. Nieustającą gotowość do tej walki symbolizuje postać skrzata Kacperka, mądrego opiekuna domu i wszystkich zamieszkujących w nim stworzeń, zaś za tytułowe kłopoty odpowiada złośliwy Sato i jego kompania. Czy skrzacie zmartwienia przeminą, a Kacperek odzyska zaszczytny tytuł opiekuna starego dworu? Czy uda się uratować skarb domu przed straszliwym zagrożeniem? Jak skończą się wynikające z drobnej lekkomyślności skrzacie przygody?" (za lubimyczytac.pl)

O "Asiuni":

"II Wojna Światowa - bombardowania, strzelaniny i terror, który opanował Polskę to straszne przeżycie dla wszystkich ludzi, którzy uczestniczyli w tym okrutnym konflikcie zbrojnym. Jak z perspektywy pięcioletniego dziecka wyglądała wojna? Z pewnością było to traumatyczne przeżycie, pełne strachu i niepewności tego, co przyniesie kolejny dzień. Asiunia oparta została na prawdziwych wydarzeniach z życia Joanny Papuzińskiej, która jako mała dziewczynka przeżyła ten ciężki czas. Jest rok 1944, mała Asia wraz z rodzicami i rodzeństwem mieszka na ulicy Mątwickiej w Warszawie. Trwa wojna, Mama Asi za pomoc chłopcom, którzy napadli na Niemców, została rozstrzelana. Dziewczynka wraz z tatą i rodzeństwem musiała opuścić dom rodzinny, starała się zrozumieć na swój sposób, dlaczego dzieje się tyle złego, dlaczego nie może cieszyć się dzieciństwem, bawić się z rodzeństwem, zasypiać w swoim łóżeczku w swojej piżamce. Niestety było to za trudne. Podczas tułaczki spędzała czas u różnych, obcych ludzi. Pomimo tego, że było bardzo ciężko, doskwierał im głód i bieda, najważniejsze dla nich było to, że są razem. Asiunia to wzruszająca opowieść o wojnie widzianej oczami dziecka. Książki dla dzieci rzadko kiedy poruszają tematykę wojny dorosłych, czyli doświadczeń ze wszech miar traumatycznych i smutnych. Tymczasem właśnie niezwykle ważne jest, by historie dzieci z tamtego okresu wraz z ich perspektywą również wybrzmiewały. I by trafiały również do młodych czytelników, którzy czytając historię małej dziewczynki, małej Asiuni, nauczą się empatii i dowiedzą, że coś takiego jak wojna istnieje - ponieważ istnieje i błędem jest to przed dziećmi ukrywać."

The Anti-Semite Who Saved Jews: Zofia Szczucka

Arrested by the Gestapo

Zofia Kossak Szczucka was a Polish novelist who overcame her own antisemitism to save thousands of Jews from Nazi death camps.

Born in Kosmin, Poland in 1889 to an illustrious family of artists and writers, Zofia became a writer as well and penned a series of historical novels in the 1920’s and 30’s. The books covered a range of time periods and locations, and included a book about the Russian Revolution of 1917 and one about the Crusades. A devout Catholic, many of her books had religious themes and she wrote extensively for the Catholic press. Zofia married Stefan Szczucki, but he died young, and she remarried Zygmunt Szatkowski. Together they had one daughter, Anna.

After Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Zofia edited the underground newspaper Polska Zyje (Poland Lives.) In 1941, she co-founded the Catholic organization Front Odrodzenia Polski (Front for the Rebirth of Poland) and edited its newspaper Prawda (The Truth). To protect herself, she adopted the code name “Weronika.”

In 1940, the occupying Germans forced the Jews of Warsaw into a squalid, overcrowded ghetto. After a visit to the ghetto, Zofia was shocked, and felt a duty to tell the world what she had seen. She wrote a leaflet called “Protest” and printed 5000 copies for wide distribution. In the pamphlet, she described the horrific conditions in the ghetto, as well as the deportations of residents to death camps, starting in 1942. Zofia wrote of the Warsaw ghetto inhabitants, “All will perish… Poor and rich, old, women, men, youngsters, infants…. Their only guilt is that they were born into the Jewish nation condemned to extermination by Hitler.”

Surprisingly, when the war began, Zofia had no affection for the Jewish community in Poland, and openly described her own anti-Semitism in “Protest.” She wrote, “Our feelings toward Jews have not changed. We do not stop thinking of them as political, economic, and ideological enemies of Poland.” However, she said, “We are required by God to protest, God who forbids us to kill. We are required by our Christian consciousness. Every human being has the right to be loved by his fellow men. The blood of the defenseless cries to heaven for revenge. Those who oppose our protest are not Catholics.”

Either her personal beliefs towards Jews changed, or she put those prejudices aside in the interest of justice, because in 1942 she co-founded the Provisional Committee to Aid Jews, also known as Zegota. The organization was created to save Jews from death camps and contained one hundred secret cells that provided food, medicine, cash, and false IDs to thousands of Jews in Warsaw, as well as many in Krakow and Vilna. It is estimated that members of Zegota forged over 50,000 documents, including marriage, birth, and death certificates, as well as baptismal records to “prove” that people suspected of being Jews were actually Christians. Zofia and other Zegota volunteers also cared for over 3000 Jews in hiding in Warsaw.

Zofia repeatedly petitioned the Polish Government-in-Exile to appeal to the Polish people to help Jews. Indeed, the exiled government provided significant funding for Zegota until the end of the war.

Zofia was well aware that her underground activities saving Jews was likely to get her killed. According to noted historian Richard Lukas, “The number of Poles who perished at the hands of the Germans for aiding Jews” may have been as high as 50,000 (!)

In 1943, Zofia was arrested by the Gestapo and transported to Auschwitz. Fortunately, she survived until liberation in 1945. She returned home and continued writing books, including From the Abyss, about her experiences at Auschwitz, and The Covenant, about Jewish patriarch Abraham. Zofia also published numerous books for children and young adults.

After the war, a communist government was installed in Poland. The new Minister of the Interior, Jakub Berman, was Jewish. Grateful to Zofia for her heroic actions on behalf of his people, and knowing that as a Catholic activist she would be targeted by the new government, he urged her to leave Poland. Zofia followed his advice, but returned to her homeland in 1957.

Zofia Kossak Szczucka died in Poland in 1968. She was survived by her daughter Anna, also a Polish resistance fighter, who wrote a book about her experiences during the war. Three years after Zofia’s death, a memorial plaque was placed on the outside of her spiritual home, All Saints Parish Church. The plaque reads, “To Zofia Kossak, the renowned Polish Catholic writer, a woman of great generosity and courage.”

In 1982, she was posthumously honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Israeli Holocaust Memorial Yad Vahem. The National Bank of Poland issued a coin in 2009 honoring Zofia and two other heroes of the Holocaust, Irena Sendler and Matylda Getter. In 2018, Zofia was awarded the highest civilian honor, the Order of the White Eagle.

For overcoming her own prejudice and saving Jewish lives, we honor Zofia Kossak Szczucka as this week’s Thursday Hero.

If you search Krol Tredowaty in Polish you mighy find images of Baldwin IV. An early take. Very cool.

Oh, thank you for pointing that out to me! 💛

Have some lovely Baldwin IV cover illustrations for Zofia Kossak's 1937 novel The Leper King (Król Trędowaty):

I'm particularly fond of these two - I think the minimalist art style suits both the subject and our leprous boy quite well, and I like the design the artists chose for his cloak and veil.

I also came across a rather pretty Polish cover for the Bernard Hamilton book:

My version of the Kossak novel (published in Germany in 1964), sadly, looks quite boring in comparison:

And while we're on the subject: I have to admit I rather enjoyed Kossak's take on the events in the Holy Land between roughly 1176 and 1187. Of course, it is very old-fashioned in terms of its writing style, and far from historically accurate - but considering that it was published in 1937, long before most of the decisive academic works we know had been written, I think Kossak nonetheless did an admirable job with presenting the historical events in a way that is both comprehensible and somewhat entertaining. Being nitpicky about the details while having access to almost a hundred years' worth of further research would be a little unfair, in my opinion.

That said, I'm not sure this is the right novel for you to read if you are simply looking for some good sauce about Baldwin, since Kossak's portrayal of him is a bit of a mixed bag. In some instances, her Baldwin resembled the wise, gentle king we know from KoH very closely, but in others, he came across as whiny and wallowing in self-pity, acting much more childish than he should. (Remember: In that time and place, men were considered legal adults at the age of fifteen.) So, what I missed in Kossak's Baldwin sometimes was the inner strength that - according to the chroniclers - he must have possessed in spades. His mother Agnes of Courtenay, by the way, receives a similar treatment and is presented as an overweight clucking old hag, which is, unfortunately, the default characterisation she is given in older historical fiction.

Apart from that, though, The Leper King was a hoot. This may be just my particular brand of weirdness talking - I'm currently writing my thesis about medieval German literature, so go figure - but I unapologetically love those early literary takes on Baldwin & Co. Their differing characterisations of the various historical figures are always fun to compare, sometimes I merely get a good laugh out of them while other times I end up being surprised or even genuinely impressed. This novel, somehow, managed to pair the WTF-factor with moments that I found genuinely heart-warming and dialogue that was by turns either well-written or absolutely laughable.

To be fair, some of this can probably be chalked up to the translation because - let's face it - many things that sound fine in any other language become very odd, all of a sudden, when translated into German. Towards the end of the book, for example, Kossak covers the Hattin episode and thus briefly tells how Eschiva and her sons retreated into the citadel at Lake Tiberias when Salah ad-Din laid siege to the city. Upon hearing this news, Kossak's Raymond exclaims affectionately "Meine tapfere Alte!", which is best translated as "My valiant old lady!", and if that isn't the funniest shit ever, then I don't know.

What I also found particularly wholesome - though of course not historically viable - was the way Kossak depicted the relationship between Baldwin and Raymond. For some reason, she seems to think Raymond was Baldwin's uncle (when in reality he was his first cousin once removed), but the "favourite uncle & favourite nephew" dynamic she builds between them really works for this novel. As a Raymond fangirl, it was also quite refreshing to read something that showed him as both sympathetic AND ambitious and, for once, didn't make him do the whole "cackling evil relative who is after the crown" act.

In the German translation, Raymond repeatedly calls Baldwin fondly "Mein Junge" und "Mein Kleiner", which literally means "my boy" and "my little one". I'm not crying, you're crying. Baldwin, in turn, refers to Raymond as "Oheim", which is an old German term for "uncle" (specifically: the brother of the mother - imagine that: Raymond as Agnes of Courtenay's brother! 😂). Hence, while it is simply a genealogical mistake and historically speaking, of course, a cartload of bollocks, it nonetheless warms my heart that this novel chose to present us with the one and only depiction of a literal "Uncle Tibs".

So, yeah - this was a fun read.

Z otchłani

the case of polish writer and WWII resistance fighter Zofia Kossak-Szczucka is quite interesting. She's considered a Just among the Nations since she hid and helped many Jews in Poland, and yet she was openly antisemitic and wrote about how she didn't want any Jew in her land.
