Mlodziezowa Agencja Wydawnicza (MAW) was established by an ordinance of the chairman of the “Prasa-Ksiazka-Ruch” Workers’ Publishing Cooperative of 31 December 1973 as an entity which was part of the “Prasa-Ksiazka-Ruch” (“Press-Book-Movement”) media group. The foundation documents mentioned the takeover of the property and plans of the “Prasa Mlodziezowa i Sportowa” (“Youth and Sports Press”) publishing house. The aim was to establish a monopoly on the market for books and periodicals addressed to children and young people by taking over the “Horyzonty” (“Horizons”) Publishing House, “Iskry” (“Sparks”) State Publishing House and later also the Publishing Institute “Nasza Ksiegarnia” (“Our Bookshop”). These plans were implemented only with regard to the first of the companies in question. The MAW headquarters were located in Warsaw (successively at 46 Wilcza Street, 6a Koszykowa Street, 53 Aleja Stanow Zjednoczonych). In the early 1980s two regional branches were set up in Szczecin and Katowice. In late 1984 the MWA was expanded to include the “Glob” press cuttings office, the role of which was to gather and catalogue press documentation and make it available. The publishing house also had its own bookshop in Warsaw, at 62 Wilcza Street. An important role was played by a department conducting large-scale readership surveys. In 1985, a Record Club was founded, providing mainly pop music records, in editions about 5 thousand copies. Books and periodicals were printed mainly by a printing house which formed part of the “Prasa-Ksiazka-Ruch” group. The Agency also began to cooperate with similar publishing companies in neighbouring countries. Over the dozen or so years of its operations, the MAW placed nearly 1200 titles to the market with a total of about 55 million copies, a significant number of which were part of various series. Series that enjoyed great popularity included the “Tytus, Romek and A’Tomek” comic series by Henryk Jerzy Chmielewski. The MAW also published several dozen youth and sports newspapers and magazines (including the dailies “Sztandar Mlodych”, “Przeglad Sportowy” and “Swiat Mlodych”) of which a total of over 200 million copies were published annually.

The article discusses the activity of the Scout Publishing House “Horyzonty” since its establishment in 1958 until its inclusion into the structures of the Youth Publishing Agency in 1976. It provides a detailed characteristic of the organizational evolution of the publishing house and its publishing repertoire of books and magazines. The article draws attention to the economic aspect as well as distribution and promotional activities. Although the publishing house was connected with the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association as far as its organization and repertoire were concerned, its thematic profile evolved from discipline handbooks to popular science books and belles letters intended for kids at the age of 12–15. On the one hand, subordination to the home organization facilitated establishing contacts, which resulted in promotional actions led in cooperation with other organizations close to the Association. On the other hand, it was a burden related to the necessity of fulfilling service tasks which not always translated into an active economic balance. The analysis presented in the article is based on documents gathered in the Central Archive of Modern Records in Warsaw and publishing catalogues. It was supplemented with interviews given by the consecutive directors, press publications and data from Ruch Wydawniczy w Liczbach (Publishing Movement in Numbers)

Time and space constitute basic structural elements of the work of literature and define scope of its composition. In Joanne K. Rowling’s series they refer mainly to the fantasy genre which mostly demonstrates itself by duality of the presented world, in two types of time – cyclical and linear and in showing decisive moment for that world. Harry Potter story also follows the same patterns, so characteristic for Entwicklungsroman, school story or even RPG game. Time and space issue of the discussed work can be viewed in three aspects: narration, presented world and references. Characteristic feature presented here is enlivening of the space-time relations through usage of elliptical structures, frequent changes of perspective and sometimes also through simultaneity of the story. Time and space components in the presented world are subjects to multiple metamorphoses which refer to magic as specific, immanent dimension of reality; whereas vicissitude recalls classical space-time themes like road and labyrinth. Consonance with reality manifests itself both in the realistic „Anglo-Saxon” pattern of the „Potterverse” and in direct references – to Nicolas Flamel, alchemist from Pontoise for example. Time and space management constitutes one of the major elements of literary expression in this novel cycle, extremely popular around the world.

The novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, published in 1911, has been on school reading lists and enjoyed great popularity since the beginning, a proof of which can be seen from the number of over 150 reprints. The work has been a rewarding object for graphic interpretations due to its target reader, its exotic themes typical for a tale of adventures, and the spectacular adventures of the characters. Unsurprisingly, the novel has been illustrated by almost 30 artists. Some editions were adorned with motion picture stills. The greatest number of editions featured illustrations by Szymon Kobyliński, characterized by a great deal of realism: prior to creating them, the artist meticulously collected information on Africa’s natural world and ethnography. The artwork of such recognized artists as Marek Rudnicki, Jerzy Srokowski, Jan Marcin Szancer or Ewa Bogucka-Pudlis also gained considerable popularity. The artists usually aimed at originality, which resulted in the creation of formally and stylistically varied artistic concepts. In the already published editions, one notes the prevalence of drawings and paintings over the rare use of new computer graphics. The development of printing technologies has clearly contributed to the increased number of editions with color illustrations, however, it has not increased the artistic level of newer creations. Within the past few years, a certain regress could be observed as far as novelty and originality of concept is concerned.

Analysis of, kept in the Archives of new Deeds, censorship reviews of each issue of the 1949 "Tygodnik Powszechny" reveals the mechanizm of freedom of speech restriction during the Stalin era. The study covers the post fatum written report constituting the basic elements of secodary review. They possess a specific form which consists of a general assessment and censorship of each article. About 70% of the texts published at this time in the Cracow magazine contained such features. Bearing in mind the negative attitude of public officials to christian papers it could be ascertained that there was positive assessment of some of the articles. They undoubtedly employed the tactics of the authorities at the time designed to create divisions in the catholic society. The style of the written reviews manifest, characteristic of the propaganda of the time, elements of persuasion in the form of constant epithets, allusions, periphrasis, neologizm, expressions of emotional characterization or ultimately the relativization of values resulting in the displacement of meaning. Censorship was focused on characteristically "difficult" issues (related to history, contemporary literature and the church) as well as individual personalities in the editorial circle (eg. Stefan Kisielewski). It did not, by this, shun primitive personal attacks. Polemics contained in censorship evaluation are a historical testimony although it is difficult to acknowledge it as a rightful outlook dialogue. They are restricted mainly to the methods of fighting the opposition in accordance with the dictates of the authorities in power at the time.

Moomintroll stories by Tove Jansson were brought to Poland by Wojciech Zukrowski. Their publisher - the same for almost 50 years - is 'Nasza Ksiegarnia'. First book translated into Polish from this fairy-tale series (Finn Family Moomintroll) was published in 1964. It is worth mentioning that individual volumes were published in our country in a different order than the order created by the author and more to that, many years after the date of their first edition. Popularity of these books is well demonstrated by the number of reprints and adaptations - all with accompanying lively response from literary critics. The article discusses such issues connected to the presence of T. Jansson's Moomins series on the Polish publishing market as: editions, translations, graphic design, continuations, adaptations for film and stage. Opinions of literary critics on these works were also analysed.

John Paul II is widely regarded as one of the most eminent Poles in the history. This charismatic figure was a spiritual leader of the whole nation. His morals, deeds and attitude made him a role model for younger generation. Biography of the Pope covers many intriguing threads that can constitute groundwork for interesting work of literature. So there was nothing strange in the fact that several dozen books about the Slavic pope for children and young people appeared on Polish publishing market. The article records and describes this kind of publications both from bibliological point of view – taking into account such phenomena as chronology and publishing geography, uppermost publishers, authorship or typology of the genre – and from literary point of view – pointing out versatility of approach to presentation of John Paul II biography in Polish literature for children and young people.

This is an in-depth analysis of references to Harry Potter which appeared in the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborczej between 27 January 2000 (the fi rst time the book was mentioned) and the end of December 2011. The author’s data includes all references to Harry Potter, any other character from the novel, as well as anything which refers to J.K. Rowling. While the quantitative analysis takes into account chronology, array of themes and the structure of the newspaper, the qualitative analysis is concerned with the signifi cant elements of content, contexts and choice of titles

The authorities in the communist Poland saw literature for children and young people as an important tool in the ideological struggle to be used primarily to educate new generations of citizens in the spirit of the socialist ideology. In the late 1940s and early 1950s there was a marked intensifi cation of the activities of Główny Urząd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk (the Central Bureau for the Control of the Press, Publishing and Public Performances) in Warsaw and its regional branches. Their objective was undoubtedly to promote the desired content only and this activity is documented by, for example, review reports kept in Archiwum Akt Nowych (the Central Archives of Modern Records) and dealing with books for children and young people submitted for publication. The surviving documents reveal the bureaucratic methods used by this institution and contain interesting examples of the socialist realist newspeak. The review reports indicate a number of strategies applied to impose on young readers the only ideologically correct vision of the world. There are 3 groups of reviews in the analysed materials: negative, positive, and the ones accepting the work in question provided that suggested changes were introduced. Censors examined not only contemporary works; “correction” of classic works (e.g. fairy tales) to adapt them to the offi cial ideology was a fairly common phenomenon. Some subjects (e.g. social transformations, development of rural areas, great industrial investments) were clearly promoted; specifi c types of plots were imposed as well. At the same time some issues, especially those associated with historical facts inconvenient for the new government (Warsaw Uprising, Home Army, social role of the Catholic Church) were either limited or eliminated entirely from works to be published. Censors tried to place the historical- -literary process within the framework of class the struggle. The basic premise of this approach was to be the predominance of realist content, hence the censors’ frequent criticism concerning anthropomorphism, which is characteristic of children’s literature. All works, especially those addressed to young readers, were to be optimistic, imbued with vitality, work ethos and the spirit of collective action. The control apparatus had a signifi cant infl uence on the themes and quality of the works of the “fourth” literature published in 1948–1956, contributing to their schematic character and to the elimination of many eminent writers and poets from circulation.

Władze Polski Ludowej postrzegały literaturę dla dzieci i młodzieży jako ważne narzędzie walki ideologicznej służące przede wszystkim wychowaniu nowych pokoleń obywateli w duchu socjalistycznej ideologii. Na przełomie lat 40. i 50. nastąpiła wyraźna intensyfikacja działań Głównego Urzędu Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk w Warszawie oraz podległych mu jednostek wojewódzkich. Ich celem było zapewnienie rozpowszechniania wyłącznie pożądanych treści, a świadectwem tej aktywności są m.in. przechowywane w Archiwum Akt Nowych w Warszawie protokoły recenzyjne zgłoszonych do druku książek dla dzieci i młodzieży. Zachowany zbiór dokumentów odsłania biurokratyczne metody działania tej instytucji oraz zawiera ciekawe przykłady socrealistycznej nowomowy. Protokoły kontrolne wskazują na rozmaite strategie zmierzające do narzucenia młodemu czytelnikowi jedynie słusznej ideologicznie wizji świata. W analizowanym materiale wyróżniono 3 grupy recenzji: negatywne, pozytywne oraz akceptujące dany utwór pod warunkiem naniesienia wskazanych zmian. Korekcie podlegały nie tylko teksty współczesne, dość powszechnym zjawiskiem było „poprawianie” klasycznych utworów (np. bajek) mające na celu ich przystosowanie do obowiązującej ideologii. Wyraźnie promowano niektóre tematy (np. przemiany społeczne, rozwój wsi, wielkie inwestycje przemysłowe), a także narzucano określone schematy fabularne. Równocześnie pewne zagadnienia, zwłaszcza te związane z niewygodnymi dla ówczesnej władzy faktami historycznymi (Powstanie Warszawskie, Armia Krajowa, rola społeczna Kościoła katolickiego) były ograniczane lub eliminowane z tekstów przeznaczonych do publikacji. Starano się, aby proces historyczno-literacki ujmowany był w kategoriach walki klas. Podstawowym założeniem miała być przewaga treści realistycznych, stąd w cenzorskich recenzjach krytyka często dotyczyła charakterystycznego dla literatury dziecięcej zjawiska antropomorfizacji. Cała twórczość, a zwłaszcza ta adresowana do młodego odbiorcy, miała być optymistyczna, przepojona witalizmem, etosem pracy i duchem kolektywnego działania. Aparat kontroli w wyraźny sposób wpłynął na tematykę i jakość ukazujących się w latach 1948-1956 utworów literatury „czwartej”, przyczyniając się do ich schematyczności oraz wyeliminowania z obiegu wydawniczego wielu uznanych pisarzy i poetów.

Astrid Lindgren’s books are present in the Polish publishing market since late 50’s and enjoy unflagging popularity. Numerous press reports intertwined with successive stages of this literary output. Growing interest in the person of the writer was associated with subsequent jubilees, popular books editions, awards, visits to Poland, and finally with sad news of her death on January 28, 2002. The image of Astrid Lindgren in the Polish media, though not always free of some stereotypes, rush typical of today’s media and pursuit for spectacular news, was authentic in many ways. In those interesting vicissitudes, in many statements by the author herself and in observations made by her close friends could be seen her unique character, self-mockery, optimism, natural vitality and love for children.

W latach 20082018 polski rynek wydawniczy książek dla młodzieży podlegał rozmaitym fluktuacjom związanym zarówno z determinantami ekonomicznymi, demografią, jak i zmieniającymi się modami oraz trendami kulturowymi. Dynamikę sprzedaży wyznaczyły bestsellerowe cykle fantastyczne pochodzące głównie z kręgu literatury anglosaskiej. Po Harrym Potterze nie pojawił się już wprawdzie równie dobrze sprzedający się cykl powieściowy, ale główne elementy jego strategii marketingowej były w dalszym ciągu powielane i kontynuowane. Istotnym wzmocnieniem przekazu stawała się ekranizacja określonej fabuły, a co za tym idzie jej multiplikacja w różnych kanałach medialnych. Triumfy święciła tematyka fantastyczna odwołująca się często do elementów horroru, powieści gotyckiej, dystopii, a nawet thrillera. Charakterystyczny dla współczesnego rynku książki młodzieżowej stał się synkretyzm rodzajowy oraz rozmaite eksperymenty formalne w duchu dekonstrukcji. Niejako w opozycji do tego nurtu stoi natomiast lista nagród polskiej sekcji IBBY, w której promowano w przeważającej liczbie książki o charakterze obyczajowym, podejmujące trudne i kontrowersyjne problemy dojrzewania, kontaktów międzyludzkich, odmienności itp. W tym kontekście można obserwować zmianę propagowanych wartości i przechodzenie od wychowawczego systemu normatywnego ku gloryfikacji wolności i tolerancji względem szerokiego spektrum zachowań i postaw.

In 2008-2018, the Polish market of young readers’ books was subject to various fluctuations related to economic determinants, demogra-phy and changing cultural trends or fashions. The dynamics of sales was determined by best-selling fantasy series coming mainly from the Anglo-Saxon literature. Although Harry Potter was not followed by an equally successful novel cycle, the main elements of its marketing strategy have been duplicated and continued. An important reinforce-ment of the message was the screening of a particular plot, and thus its multiplication in various media channels. Fantasy themes often re-ferring to the elements of horror, Gothic novels, and even dystopian thrillers dominated. Generic syncretism and even various formal ex-periments in the spirit of deconstruction have become characteristic of the contemporary youth book market. In contrast, the list of awards of the Polish section of the IBBY stands in opposition to this trend, which promoted, in the overwhelming majority, novels of morals na-ture, addressing difficult and controversial problems of adolescence, interpersonal relationships, otherness, etc. In this context, we can ob-serve a change in the values promoted and a transition from an edu-cative normative system to glorifying freedom and tolerance towards a wide range of behaviors and attitudes.

PL
W artykule scharakteryzowano rozwój ruchu wydawniczego związanego ze spuścizną literacką J. Korczaka od pierwszej samodzielnej publikacji książkowej w 1901 r. po czasy obecne (rok 2011). W analizie uwzględniono wszystkie druki samoistne wydane na terenie Polski w wyżej wymienionym okresie (także powstałe przed II wojną światową tłumaczenia na język jidysz) oraz książki wydawane poza granicami kraju w języku polskim. Skupiono się na szeregu aspektów związanych z prezentacją spuścizny wydawniczej, takich jak publikacja pierwodruków, zasięg geograficzny i instytucjonalny, periodyzacja oraz niektóre cechy bibliologiczne, np. przynależność do serii, szata graficzna oraz komentarze i opracowania autorskie. Odmienna liczba edycji poszczególnych tytułów w wyróżnionych okresach wskazywała na zmieniającą się popularność pewnych treści, co było wynikiem zarówno określonej polityki wydawniczej w czasach Polski Ludowej jak i przemian światopoglądowych i społecznych wpływających na recepcję utworów J. Korczaka po 1989 r.

The paper describes the development of the publishing market associated with the literary legacy of Janusz Korczak, since his first self-published book of 1901 to the present time (2011). The analysis includes all self-published printed works released in Poland during this period (also translations into Yiddish published before World War II) and books published abroad in Polish. The article focuses on several aspects related to the published legacy, such as publication of first editions, geographic and institutional reach, periodization and some library science features, for example being a part of a series, the artwork, author’s comments and editions. The varied number of editions of individual titles in the period indicates the changing popularity of certain content, which was due to specific editorial policy at the times of socialism in Poland as well as ideological and social changes affecting the reception of J. Korczak’s works after 1989.

This is an analysis of the official records of preventive censorship interventions into texts that were to be published in ,,Tygodnik Powszechny” between 1 January 1949 and May 1952. The original files which consist of over 1000 protocols are kept at the Central Archives of Modern Records (AAN). The article identifies the themes and the alleged intent of texts that were either suppressed in their entirety or in parts. It also looks at the justification of the interventions and its characteristic newspeak formulas.Finally, the article considers various strategies of authors seeking to minimalize the censors’ cuts
