The book has been writtenbilingually, in Polish and in English. The idea is that a reader can read eachpoem in either of the languages or in both of them simultaneously. The authorhas been exploring different techniques to achieve this result: mirroring,intertwining, playing on sounds in both languages. This is her attempt ofshowing the reality of somebody living between the languages, sometimesstretched between them - of somebody who, originally from Poland, haslived in the UK for over 20 years and who, as a translator, works in both ofthose languages on everyday basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53514449682806,"sku":"9781739104719","price":11.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30337719.jpg?v=1727874075","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781739104719-rozpetaniedeliverance-english-polish","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
