We all have our favorite writers. Many of them are using their own, original language that we like or don’t. Very often basing on the language they use we can imagine their character and what kind of people they are or were. Their style of writing makes us be more familiar with them and with their books. But sometimes, even writers that are using very unique style of writing make a huge impression on us and I would like to focus on a novelist that presents that kind of writing.
His name is Juliusz Slowacki (1809-1849) and he is one of the most famous Polish poets in the history. As you can see he was writing his books very long time ago but they are still very popular in Poland, Europe and probably in other parts of the world. I can say that he is not my favorite writer because his style of writing is not easy to understand and you have to be very focus during the reading. In addition to that, every person that wants to read some of his books should be very familiar with Polish and European history.
On the other hand this is advantage because reading a book you are also studying a little bit of history. But it does not mean that I don’t like Slowacki and his books. I chose to write about him because his style is very familiar to me, and his books made a huge impression on me. Some of his books captivate, fascinate, release my imagination, and are taking me to the lands that I always wanted to see and visit. The fight for independence became the main topic of Slowacki’s works.
The Essay on Thomas Kuhn Writing Style
According to the back cover, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is “considered one of ‘The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War’ by The Times Literary Supplement. ” I don’t necessarily agree with this assessment. Don’t miss understand what I’m saying; he is probably one of the more brilliant people that have ever walked this earth for all I know. ...
In his books like “Kord ian”, “Bogurodzica” he is calling the nation to fight because in his opinion that is the only way to the freedom. Slowacki was writing about moral and political problems of the generation, which had lost the resurrection. He was a great poet loving his country. He also was writing poems inspired by the nature like “Rozlaczenie”, about his childhood, literature, but his main subject was always reflections about his nation and the suffering of Poland and Polish people.
In my opinion his lyrics reached the artistic perfection. In supreme way he could recreate and portray human feelings. Slowacki is using many elements of language. His style is speaking to our imagination beautifully describing his times and the events.
Very often in his books he is complaining of his exile, immigration, and his love for the country so his style is very sad and sometimes even prayerful. On the other hand when Slowacki is talking about his nation, his style is lofty with a lot of imperative sentences, which makes his statements very emotional. He very often uses the same words in the text and many synonyms. In some books he had used rhymes. The vocabulary range is large but many words are repeating. Some of the words that you can see in the books are no longer in use.
The thing that makes his books harder to read is the style of the sentences, which was very complicated. The language that was in use in his times was different from today’s tongue so you have to read it very slowly to understand. You will not see any straight vulgarisms in Slowacki’s books. People during that times, were not cursing in the direct way.
They were using very complex sentences to say something bad. The only time that Slowacki is doing that is when he is talking about Polish occupants and invaders. Reading any of Juliusz Slowacki’s books we can easily imagine what can of person he was. He was an individualist, a great man that deserves glory. In his creations he emphasized the importance of fighting for freedom.
His books and poems are timeless, until today they did not lose their beauty.
