    Jacek Kuroń

    Byl kiedys wierszyk o Kuroniu (z kabaretu Genowefy Pigwy):

    Hej ministrze Kuroń,
    Łzę nad ludem uroń,
    Dała bym ci dała,
    gdybym tylko miała.
    Strasznego mam chłopa pacana,
    Dlatego ministrze - oddam Ci sie sama.
    Niechaj biją dzwony, niech biją na trwogę,
    Pan niech się nie martwi - mogę, jeszcze mogę :)

    @manonce

    Try to find some of his works (the best is "Gwiezdny Czas" out of autobiographical trilogy dealing with his life as an oppositionist in communist Poland), I strongly believe, that at least the quoted title was translated (if not into Czech than at least into English). Gives a bit insight not only into Jacek Kuroń's life, but also in origins of Polish opposition, KOR, Latający Uniwersytet, "Robotnik" and Solidarity movements. I've learned more from this single book by Jacek Kuroń than from most of history books I've read prior and after reading it.
