The premiere of Kielce in 1956

Cook's Travel Commentary (also: Cook's Cook Reason, Friar Supplément au voyage de Cook) - a comedy in one act by Jean Giraudoux from 1935. Genesis and content

The title refers to the work of Denis Diderot entitled Supplément au voyage de Bougainville, which in turn is a dialogue about the book by Louis Antoine de Bougainville - Voyage autour du monde par la frégate de roi La Boudeuse et la flute L'Étoile ( Pol .: Bougainville's journey around the world). For Giraudoux, the confrontation of two cultures - wild and civilized, based on the non-inclusion of natural human instincts in the creation of moral principles, must lead to the disaster of the latter. The author, however, treats these struggles as the basis for the creation of a comedy with strong satirical accents and not devoid of tragic threads. It exposes the paradoxicality of artificially created moral principles. From Diderot, he borrowed the figure of a Tahitian Uturu, and as a representative of the mendacious community of Europeans, implementing the moral, economic and general-purpose concepts of the natives, he introduced the presbyter of the presbyterian church. Banks and his wife. shows The premiere took place at the Théâtre de l'Athénée on November 21, 1935, and the same author will not be added to the drama of the Trojan War. In Poland, the work was presented for the first time at the Teatr im. Stefan Żeromski in Kielce (directed by Irena Byrska, set design Liliana Jankowska and Antoni Tośta) May 29, 1956. In 1960, they were shown by the Polish Theater in Warsaw, and in 1964 Adam Hanuszkiewicz directed them for the Television Theater.

He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler.
