W 2009 roku w Polsce doczekamy się literackiej gwiazdy światowego formatu, w kinie zatriumfują młodzi, a Janusz Morgenstern wróci w wielkim stylu. W teatrze będzie jeszcze lepiej niż w roku minionym, niezależnie od naszych obecnych gustów muzycznych - wszyscy zachwycimy się popem, dyrygenci będą przyjeżdżać do naszego kraju na wyścigi, polskie gry komputerowe podbiją świat, a młodzi polscy architekci zabudują Dubaj. Tylko w telewizji jakoś marnie. Hitem 2009 będą publiczne przeprosiny Zbigniewa Ziobry		 » Józef Piłsudski i Ignacy Paderewski, honorowi obywatele miasta stołecznego Warszawy - spotkanie varsavianistów z cyklu "Środa na Koszykowej"

» Australia dla Australijczyków?
Baz Luhrmann - od Moulin Rouge i Romea i Julii - nakręcił epicką Australię. Ten film wziął się podobno z marzenia. Ale, niestety, jest nieszczery


Dzisiejsza postać książki wywodzi się od kodeksu, czyli kartek połączonych grzbietem, które wraz z rozwojem pergaminu zastąpiły poprzednią formę dokumentu piśmienniczego, czyli zwój. Dokument piśmienniczy myśli ludzkiej, raczej obszerny, w postaci publikacji wielostronicowej o określonej liczbie stron, o charakterze trwałym. Słowo o bardzo wielu pokrewnych znaczeniach.
