Wladyslaw TERMA – Scenes from the Life of a Lithuanian
\nPozna\u0144 1870, circulation of Jan Konstanty \u017bupa\u0144ski<\/p>\n
The first edition of a collection of short stories by Wladyslaw Terma – a writer today almost completely forgotten, absent from the common bibliographic studies of Polish literature of the 19th century.
\n“Scenes from Lithuanian Life” is a series of pictures and short stories devoted to the everyday life, customs and landscapes of Lithuania – a country that, after the fall of the Commonwealth, held a special place in the Polish romantic imagination and literature of the period.
\nThe book was published by Jan Konstanty \u017bupa\u0144ski (1804-1883) – a Poznan bookseller and publisher whose outhouse was one of the most important centers of the Polish publishing movement of the 19th century. Over the course of his career, \u017bupa\u0144ski published a total of some 600 titles, publishing the works of Mickiewicz, Lelewel and Kraszewski, among others, always ensuring the highest editorial care.
\nThe item belongs to antiquarian rarities. A digital copy is available only in the Wielkopolska Digital Library; physical copies appear exceptionally sporadically on the market.
\nA must-have item for a collector of Polish literature of the 19th century, a lover of borderland subjects and a bibliophile looking for prints from the legendary \u017bupa\u0144ski’s outhouse. <\/p>\n
