SΕ‚oΕ„, nosoroΕΌec i tygrys na elewacjach kamienic Starego Miasta? DziΔ™ki bogato zdobionemu i dowcipnemu literackiemu przewodnikowi po zakamarkach Krakowa odkryjesz, skΔ…d siΔ™ tam wziΔ™Ε‚y.

Turyści uwielbiają nie tylko panoramy, ale również szczegóły. Dokumentując swoje wędrówki, często poszukują takich detali, po to by je uwiecznić, a także cieszyć się własną spostrzegawczością i umiejętnością wyłuskiwania z bogatego pejzażu znaczących elementów. Bestiariusz krakowski ułatwia te poszukiwania i poprzez literackie medium zwraca uwagę na elementy zdobnicze charakterystyczne dla zabudowy okolic krakowskiego Rynku.

BogusΕ‚aw Rostworowski wychowaΕ‚ siΔ™ w dwΓ³ch kulturach: polskiej i brytyjskiej, nie tylko wiΔ™c pozwala swoim tekstom zaistnieΔ‡ w dwΓ³ch jΔ™zykach, ale takΕΌe Ε‚Δ…czy w swoim spojrzeniu charakter rozmiΕ‚owanego w mieΕ›cie mieszkaΕ„ca, a zarazem przybysza – sam zamieszkaΕ‚ w Krakowie dopiero jako osoba dorosΕ‚a.

====================================

What are elephants, rhinoceroses and tigers doing on the facades of houses in KrakΓ³w’s Old Town? Discover how they came to be there with the aid of this witty, richly illustrated literary guide to these little known treasures of KrakΓ³w.

While tourists of course love townscapes, they no less appreciate the rich architectural details within them. And when documenting their trips, often they search for particular features and small details, not only to record them but also to satisfy a sense of achievement at having noticed these minor details within their overall architectural setting. To make this task easier, this KrakΓ³w Bestiary uses a literary medium to draw the visitor’s attention to these beautiful features, so characteristic of the architecture in the Main Square and its surrounding streets.

BogusΕ‚aw Rostworowski, who was raised in post-war England before returning to live in his Polish homeland as a young adult, presents his poems in both Polish and English. Thus, they express both the freshness of a newcomer’s perception as well as the love for his city.
