How To Make Sugar Ballet Shoes

Marianna and Roses "- Jane Fedorowicz, Joanna Konopińska


Marianna and Roses "and Janina Konopiński Joanna Fedorowicz, describes a story that really happened. It's memories of grandmother of one of the authors, reconstructed on the basis of notes left by her, mementos and family memories. The story, which today sounds like another world.
book takes the form of a diary średnozamożnej Wielkopolska dugout, Marianna Jasiecki. Covers the years 1871-1914 and focuses on everyday life. Marianna has, however, aware of the passage of time, and wants to leave for their children and grandchildren specific testimony, and therefore a lot of mentions here about cultural events and political. Greater then fought with aggressive Germanization, and the author had the opportunity to witness even a case of the car Drzymały or school strike Wrzesnia.
What can you say about life in Great times fin de siècle? In addition to such curiosities that trip to the seaside whether to Wroclaw, require more preparation than the trip out to the other end of the world? Does the fact that the wedding trip could be enough to equip mid-sized hotel.
struck me two things. First of all - a woman's life was subordinated to the family, but I absolutely do not deal with any stereotypes such as "Polka's mother." The family was a business, a product of the same companies were children. It was important to an adult, had taken their place in life, therefore, extremely important has been the careful and conscious parenting. And it's not far from here is that this was an education stringent, or devoid of spontaneity.
purpose of the process was rather a transfer of appropriate values \u200b\u200b(also through the choice of educational institutions), balancing the influence of external influences home so as not to spoil this "product" before they start on life. Especially a lot of time devoted daughters Marianna formation of character. These were cruel times for women, and destroy opportunities for marriage is equivalent to a margin spółeczeństwa.A zepchnięciu that this was not a threat sucked from a finger, and provide at least the fate of a young cousin Jasieckich, the mere suspicion that an extramarital affair, not only deprived the chance of starting a family, but also prevented gainful employment. A
daughters in the family of our heroine to the matrymonialnm uplasowania market was up six. Needless to say, that stain on the reputation of one of them were equal to the remaining opportunities for burial.
managed the educational process is dealt with Marianna, and it was a process no less complicated than a modern Human Resources Management (a bigger responsibility, because it was a family-own company and their own children.)
The second topic that interested me is the defense against Germanization, which she accepted a peculiar form of apartheid: the boycott of German stores, only contacts with Polish neighbors, as long as possible - Polish language education, defense before the redemption of the earth. Nowadays, when most Poles do not welcome a change nothing wrong nationality to a more prestigious, this determination is almost unreal. Well-
encourage you to make the journey at different times:). I wonder on what you contacting / you noticed.
