The Polish Book Institute

A selection of Jan Kochanowski's works has recently been published in the Netherlands and the UK. The translation by Charles S. Kraszewski was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.

A staging of Jan Kochanowski's Odprawa Posłów Greckich (“The Dismissal of the Greek Envoys”), translated by Charles Kraszewski and directed by Jason Morell, took place in Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday as part of another edition of the “Shakespeare & Poland” festival at The Bear Pit theatre. The festival was organised by the Polish Cultural Institute in London and partnered by the Book Institute.

The most famous theatre in the world has hosted a unique event presenting the relations of the brilliant playwright with Poland. It includes, inter alia, plays by Kochanowski and Wyspianski. The festival was organised in cooperation with Polish cultural institutions, including the Book Institute.
