I have always wondered what other students have to read at school. Why this book not another? That’s why I decided to create this challenge for myself and anyone who wants to join.
In Poland students have to read both Polish and foreign books, the proportion is rather equal. For about 4-6 foreign books we read about 6 Polish books. It all depends on teacher though. How is it in your country?
So here’s how this challenge will work: I will list 4 Polish books below, that are in polish shool books cannon, encouraging you to read them. I checked carefully - all of them has english translations, unfortunetaly I don’t know if they were translated into other languages but I can always help you finding one. If you decide to read any of this books, please let me know your opinion on it or post a picuture/review with hashtag #hsb challenge and I will check it out and probably reblog it!
Then, if you are from another country, please feel free to add books from your country to the reading list. I’ll try to read them and leave my review as well.
So here is the list of books:
The Doll (Lalka) by Bolesław Prus,
Balladyna by Juliusz Słowacki,
Sir Thaddeus (Pan Tadeusz) by Adam Mickiewicz, translated by Marcel Weyland (if you need ISBN message me),
Fables for Robots (Bajki Robotów) by Stanisław Lem - it’s usually read in secondary school but I enjoyed it very much.
Please add the books from your country to the list.
I hope you all would like to join in! :-)))
