About the book: 1961 / The name of Janusz Korczak - writer, teacher, public figure - has become a symbol of humanism and high moral purity for the Polish people. In his books and articles, Korczak acts as an ardent defender of the rights and interests of children, exposing the falsehood and injustice surrounding the child in a capitalist society. Korczak sees in a child a person with a rich inner world, an artist with a subtle, impressionable soul, takes him seriously, respects his rights and dignity. Of the numerous and varied genres of works for children and adults written by Korczak during his life, the collection presents three: a unique poetic story “When I become little again,” reflecting Korczak’s pedagogical views (this story is printed with slight abbreviations), a cycle of small lyrical essays “Summer in Michałówka”, the story “Glory”, which tells about the life of a poor family in old Poland. This collection will be read with interest by everyone who is concerned about the problems of education, especially young people who dream of becoming a teacher..
