Source: Newsweek. Date of publication: 2005-03-01</strong></p> <p>&ldquo;Manuscripts don&rsquo;t burn&rdquo; — wrote Mikhail Bulgakov in &ldquo;The Master and Margarita&rdquo;. And since then we often repeat that sentence, seeking in it confirmation of our faith that literary truth always triumphs, that it is stronger than the inattention of readers, than the persecutions of dictators. Even — than the passage of time&quot; — so begins the preface to the Newsweek Polska supplement &ldquo;235 Books of the Century&rdquo;, authored by Piotr Bratkowski. It presents a proposal for the library of the contemporary intellectual. It includes titles from the last sixty years, among them: The Captive Mind by Czesław Miłosz, A World Apart by Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, Rising &lsquo;44 by Norman Davies, and The Emperor by Ryszard Kapuściński.</p>
