Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique and his trilogy, Three Colours, earned Kieslowski his reputation as a world-class film-maker.

Introducing Geralt the Witcher - revered and hated - who holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in the bestselling series that inspired the Witcher video games and a major Netflix show. Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth. Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series. The Last Wish is the perfect introduction to this one-of-a-kind fantasy world. Translated by Danusia Stok

The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, holds the fate of the world in his hands in the New York Times bestselling first novel in the Witcher series that inspired the Netflix show and video games. For more than a hundred years, humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races are fighting once again - killing their own kind and each other. Into this tumultuous time is born a child of prophecy, Ciri, surviving heiress of a bloody revolution, whose strange abilities can change the world - for good, or for evil... As the threat of war hangs over the land, Geralt the Witcher must protect Ciri from those who are hunting the child for her destructive power. But this time, Geralt may have met his match.

Ponad piętnaście lat po śmierci reżysera filmy Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego niezmiennie fascynują widzów na całym świecie. W Autobiografii reżyser "Przypadku" i "Dekalogu" opowiada o swojej młodości, pracy i międzynarodowej karierze z ironią i charakterystycznym poczuciem humoru. Wspomina epizod ze szkoły strażackiej, komisję wojskową, która uznała go za schizofrenika, i egzaminy do Szkoły Filmowej w Łodzi, gdzie zdawał trzy razy. Mało kto wie, że Kieślowski chciał zostać reżyserem... teatralnym. Jego droga zawodowa jest nie mniej interesująca: od filmów dokumentalnych, przez pierwszą fabułę, aż po szeroko komentowane "Podwójne życie Weroniki" i "Trzy kolory". Kulisy ich powstawania i świetne anegdoty zachęcają do nowego spojrzenia na kino Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego.
