Rising '44 (original) (raw)
Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw is the title of a documented and illustrated historical account of the Warsaw Uprising by the historian Norman Davies. It was mostly well received by specialists and commentators during its publication. One controversy surrounding the book is that Davies purposely anglicised most of the Polish proper names, including placenames and pseudonyms used by Polish conspirators, to bring the reality of events closer to English-speaking readers and to help them concentrate on the narrative, rather than on the complexity of Polish names.

| dbo:abstract | Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw is the title of a documented and illustrated historical account of the Warsaw Uprising by the historian Norman Davies. It was mostly well received by specialists and commentators during its publication. One controversy surrounding the book is that Davies purposely anglicised most of the Polish proper names, including placenames and pseudonyms used by Polish conspirators, to bring the reality of events closer to English-speaking readers and to help them concentrate on the narrative, rather than on the complexity of Polish names. However, the Polish historian Jan Ciechanowski has taken grave exception to the work in more general terms: In the hands of Davies the Warsaw Rising has become his personal "plaything", the outpouring of his uncommonly overactive imagination, his huge arrogance and of his vast fantasy. In fact his knowledge about the Warsaw Rising is actually limited. Ciechanowski has accused the author of so littering the book with factual and interpretative errors, "the number of all manner of errors in Davies' work is such, as to render his account of the Rising not wholly credible". (en) Powstanie '44 (ang. Rising '44. The Battle for Warsaw) – publikacja autorstwa Normana Daviesa - brytyjskiego historyka, traktująca o powstaniu warszawskim. Książka napisana jest w żywym i emocjonalnym stylu. Główna faza zbierania danych zaczęła się w 2000 r. przy udziale kilkunastu współpracowników, wtedy też autor zaczął pisać książkę. Po raz pierwszy książka została wydana w Wielkiej Brytanii w 2003 r. (w twardej okładce; poprawiona wersja w 2004 r. w miękkiej okładce) przez wydawnictwo Macmillan Publishers, w Polsce w 2004 roku przez wydawnictwo Znak, a w USA przez Viking Penguin. Ponadto została przetłumaczona i wydana w językach narodowych w: Brazylii, Hiszpanii, Holandii, Niemczech (2004, wyd. ), Norwegii, Szwecji i we Włoszech (2004, wyd. Mondadori). W 2004 nominowana do nagród literackich w dziedzinie historii lub polityki: Duff Cooper Prize, George Orwell Memorial Prize oraz Hessell-Tiltman Prize. O całym procesie wydawania angielskiego i polskiego wydania Powstania '44 opublikowano oddzielną książkę: Norman Davies & Co., 2005: Jak powstało Powstanie '44. Wyd. Znak, Kraków. (pl) |
