Lighthouse keeper

Book Review by: Anonymous    

Original Authors: Hubert ; Krakowski
This abstract was translated from Latarnik
Henryka's short story Sienkiewicza it tells about fates Polish emigrant Skawińskiego, which it receives lighthousekeeper's
job on island near Aspinwall, near Panamy. Pole be tired with life, what stood for him wandering after world. It in conversation with consul of United States in Panamie remembers about historical events, in which he participated( the November rise, war karlistowska in Hiszpanii the, colonial conquests of French government, the for the national independence campaign on Węgrzech against Austrii, the war of Północy with Południem in United States). Skawiński had not in life happiness. All his przedsięwziecia ended with failure. Therefore he was glad with lighthousekeeper's job and with quiet in what desired to stay until to death. Author describes life every lighthouse keeper, who it usually is be cut off from world. Skawiński seems however satisfied. My the settled order of day, likes staring in moire, observing port life and forest tropical, feeding sea-gulls... Safe sie on island feels, it leaves her on Sunday tylko when it goes to church. Later however it stops doing this, it gives up from newspapers, with conversations with port guard Johnsem delivering food and water. Jeność feels more and more greater from this, which surrounds him. It nothing was not altered was surely, sure day, together with from food, Skawinski he if would did not receive from Towarzystwa Polskiego in New Yorku Tadeusza's Pana. Latarnii in time readings transferred thoughts to his family village and fell down in dream, leaving behind about inflammation. He woke up him really guard Johns. Pole lost job and left in his next raise the price(to New Yorku), but he had near me now sweetheart book. I do not know or it is to tell it or short story was it been proper was to read with this sense or not because it is then reading... It is proper surely, if someone wants to have about her own sentence. This story is not surely, what would read for clean entertainment tylko. It from way in which was written, tells about sad history of human life independently.
