PAPIEROWA REWOLUCJA
Underground publishing in Communist Poland
Bibliotheque cantonale et universitaire, Fribourg (Switzerland),        1992,
240 s., SFr. 30.-
One of the main signs of the pacific revolution which began before
Solidarnosc and ended with the breaking up of Communism in Poland
was the emancipation of word and writing. This book takes the reader
through underground publishing in Poland from 1976 to 1990. During
these 15 years, some 15 thousand titles (books, periodicals or papers)
have been published, whereas thousands occasional papers were
issued. Papierowa Rewolucja is one of the first publication issued in
the West which talk about this phenomenon unequalled in the history
of democratic opposition in East Europe. It contains 11 unpublished
articles related to the numerous aspects of the question.
