How to overcome a paralysis of mutual prejudice and distrust in a painfully divided community? Why does the weak centre strengthen its borders and put up new fences? What does the \u201cborderland\u201d mean today, and which questions should we avoid there? Finally, what does it mean to \u201ckill a bridge\u201d and why \u201cdoomed are those who leave and never return\u201d? The most comprehensive selection of essays by Krzysztof Czy\u017cewski \u2013 practitioner of ideas, writer, translator, editor, and director \u2013 locates Central Europe in the very centre of the most vital questions and problems today: the crisis of communality, the growing divisions, and increasingly hostile cultural wars.
The co-founder of \u201cPogranicze\u201d Centre takes the reader on a journey across European peripheries: the Romanian city of Timisoara, a caf\u00e9 in the Transylvanian Sibiu, Chernivtsi \u2013 a city at the frontier of the former Habsburg Empire, Vilnius, Krasnogruda, and Sejny where he lives. His attention is also drawn to the region of the European \u201cepicentre of storms\u201d \u2013 Kosovo and Bosnia, which he describes right after the tragic conflict of the early 1990s. To better understand the history of these places, where \u201cno one is fully right and no one is completely wrong either\u201d he refers to Rebeca West, Edith Durhan, Ivo Andri\u0107, Danilo Ki\u0161, Maria Todorova, Robert Kaplan, Drago Jan\u010dar and Roger Cohen.
In Czy\u017cewski\u2019s essays, Central Europe presents itself as ethos and attitude that opposes rootlessness with belonging, the provincial complex with the power of the province, sharp borders with the space of overlapping and co-existence. In his essayistic peregrinations, the author follows a map drawn by outsiders, outcasts, and rebels, unruly intellectuals for whom Europe remained and still remains an unfinished project: Vincenz, Roth, Stempowski, Ficowski, Giedroyc, Venclova, and last but not least Mi\u0142osz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
