( In The Eating of the Gods the distinguished Polish crit...)
In The Eating of the Gods the distinguished Polish critic Jan Kott reexamines Greek tragedy from the modern perspective. As in his earlier acclaimed Shakespeare Our Contemporary, Kott provides startling insights and intuitive leaps which link our world to that of the ancient Greeks. The title refers to the Bacchae of Euripides, that tragedy of lust, revenge, murder, and "the joy of eating raw flesh" which Kott finds paradigmatic in its violence and bloodshed.

( The Bottom Translation represents the first critical at...)
The Bottom Translation represents the first critical attempt at applying the ideas and methods of the great Russian critic, Mikhail Bakhtin, to the works of Shakespeare and other Elizabethans. Professor Kott uncovers the cultural and mythopoetic traditions underlying A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, Dr. Faustus, and other plays. His method draws him to interpret these works in the light of the carnival and popular tradition as it was set forth by Bakhtin. The Bottom Translation breaks new ground in critical thinking and theatrical vision and is an invaluable source of new ideas and perspectives. Included in this volume is also an extraordinary essay on Kurosawa's "Ran" in which the Japanese filmmaker recreates King Lear.

( To see through the eyes of essayist and dramaturge Jan ...)
To see through the eyes of essayist and dramaturge Jan Kott is to gain in knowledge not just of the theater but also of human culture. Since his Shakespeare Our Contemporary appeared in English in 1964, Kott's work has altered--and strengthened--the way critics and the public approach the theater as a whole. The Memory of the Body highlights a number of dramatic personalities and personages: authors and directors Witkiewicz, Brecht, Kantor, Grotoswki, Ingmar Bergman, Wedekind; Tilly Newes on the stage in turn-of-the-century Vienna; the all-too-mortal, two-thirds divine Gilgamesh; and a shaman in rural Korea. In a style flecked with passion, poignancy, and wit, Kott moves beyond a mere discussion of theater to speak of eroticism, painting, love, and death.

Tom trzeci Pism wybranych 'ma charakter najbardziej eklektyczny lub moze sylwiczny, bo znajduja sie w nim zarowno szkice dopelniajace wizje Blonskiego jako interpretatora poezji, prozy i dramatu, jak tez przyklady tekstow felietonowych, w ktorych najlepiej ujawnilo sie jego mistrzostwo piora, takze zreszta utworow krytycznych dotychczas nieznanych, wyjetych z maszynopisow i drukowanych w tym tomie po raz pierwszy. Moze wlasnie trzeci tom pokazuje najlepiej maesterie autora, dostarczajac przykladow krytyki bardzo roznorodnej tematycznie i stylistycznej, a jednoczesnie zwiazanej mocno z problemami natury ogolnej. Tu widac doskonale, ze w pewnym momencie wlasnie Blonski przejal od Kazimierza Wyki funkcje i troski gospodarza literatury polskiej' Z poslowia Jerzego Jarzebskiego
