Agora Bookshop, Oskar Publishing House and the Bolesławiec City Office invite you to a meeting with writer Andrzej Nowakowski, author of the book “Blood of Kings,” whose main character is Duke Henryk Probus, a pretender to the Polish throne. The meeting will take place on November 22 (Friday) at the Wedding Palace (Bolesławiec Town Hall). It begins at 5:00 p.m.. Admission is free.
Andrzej Nowakowski (born in 1952) was born in Gostków, a small village in Kashubia, but has lived in Gdańsk all his life. He graduated from the humanities faculty of a Gdańsk university and has worked as a Polish-language teacher at a secondary school for many years. He made his debut with stories published in the weekly “Litery.” His subsequent texts were printed by various cultural and literary magazines. Large excerpts from his novel appeared in the monthly “Punkt” in 1980 and in the quarterly “Migotania” in 2013. He also wrote books for children (three such titles were published by the now-defunct KAW publishing house) and science-fiction stories published in “Młody Technik” and “Problemy.” His hobby is the history of medieval Europe, and the action of the novel “Blood of Kings” takes place in that historical setting.
