I've already emailed the lists to you, but I suppose it's a good idea to post them here as well. Our literatura powszechna list is in Polish, because that's the way it's been given to us - and frankly, I see no reason why we should be reading Dante or Cervantes in English. ;) So, without further ado:

- Epos o Gilgameszu
- Mity greckie
- Biblia (Księga Rodzaju, Księga Wyjścia, Apokalipsa św. Jana)
- Koran (wybrana księga)
- Arystoteles – Poetyka
- Dante – Boska komedia
- Szekspir – Hamlet
- Cervantes – Don Kichot
- Eco – Imię róży
- Bajki braci Grimm
English literature 2011/2012
- Mary Shelley – Frankenstein
- Oscar Wilde – The Picture of Dorian Gray
- Emily Brontë – Wuthering Heights
- Charlotte Brontë – Jane Eyre

No Austen on the list, though. I'm very disappointed, to put it mildly. :/
You can always propose Austen;) I will support you my dear:)
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet! :) - but I'm sure everyone would be very 'happy' to have a new book added to our already long list. ;) I won't risk their irritation. :P
ReplyDeleteI think they had Austen last year - maybe the professor likes to change the list from time to time.
I'm glad that I took "mity greckie" (for children, but really great edition) to my holiday and I started reading it to my son.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the bus trip I watched " Becoming Jane". I have to admit that I love the film and I think I want to read some of Austen books after seeing that movie. Her life story was just so romantic and I believe that her novels are expressing all, but that.
