The author of the article analyses almost two hundred reviews of Latin American prose published in the Polish press in the early seventies when the boom was just beginning. She points out four main themes which were discussed repeatedly by the Polish critics: the effort undertaken in order to explain to the readers the unknown culture, the question of Latin American identity, political and social aspects of this prose and, finally, its exotic aspect. The article focuses on the last problem. The way the critics used the word exotic at the beginning of the boom suggested to readers the stereotyped image of Latin America. Later on the critics understood that the reality described in the works of Spanish American writers was very different from its stereotype fixed in the Polish culture, but they continued using the word exotic. Its abuse led to a false conviction that the Spanish American prose had no universal values, as it talked about exotic, that is, foreign and strange people and problems.

This paper is concerned with the contributions which the review section of Slovak Ethnology published during the period from the journal’s inception to the end of the 1980s. Attention is focused on those reviews which were unforced, i.e. which drew attention to publications whose importance was not determined by the officially sanctioned plans for scholarly activity. The paper shows how these reviews, by drawing attention to foreign publications and projects, contributed to extending the research field and differentiating methodological premises.

The article is a contribution to the history of the Kwartalnik Filozoficzny (the Philosophical Quarterly). It considers the types of works reviewed in the interwar period and points out the authors of the reviews. The article describes a dozen or so reviews assessing books written by both Polish and foreign authors. It displays the philosophical issues which the reviewers were most interested in and the reviewers’ attitude towards the theses set forth in the reviewed works. An important fact that emerges is that the reviews of philosophical dissertations were written by experts in philosophy such as: Witold Rubczyński, Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Marian Heitzman, Konstanty Michalski, and Joachim Metallmann, who could splendidly assess the value of the reviewed works.

The article deals with critical reflection of the novel Žert (The Joke) in the period from the end of the 1960s up to current reviews. In the first part of the critical historical analysis, the author examines the critical acceptance of the novel in the aftermath of its release (1967-1969), in Czech, Slovak and exiled journals and literary magazines in particular. The second part considers critical reactions to the novel throughout the 1970s and 1980s with an emphasis on the aftermath of its reception in the 1960s, official critical reviews in the era of normalization and its reception in exile and samizdat literature as well. Finally, the last part of the article offers a contemporary critical response to Žert, analyzed on the basis of Czech journals, literary magazines and newly emergent Kundera monographs. The aim of the article is to find out to what extent the critical response to Kundera's much-respected novel has changed and whether current literary critics read the novel from different points of view than those at the end of the 1960s, when the novel was published for the first time.
