“The Eye of the Tzaddik” is a metaphysical journey through Lublin. Prof. W\u0142adys\u0142aw Panas saw it as a ‘City-Book’, echoing Dostoevsky’s sentiment towards St. Petersburg and Kafka\u2019s towards Prague.<\/p>\n

Prof. Panas had\u00a0 planned to write an alternative guide to Lublin, intending to showcase the city’s magical uniqueness, reveal its hidden aura and spirit. He noticed Jewish symbolism in the layout of Castle Square, the abundance of tenement houses, and the presence of stone gargoyles. Unfortunately, only four chapters, threads of the work, were completed. “The Eye of the Tzaddik” is one such chapter, which is both the leading chapter and the only one published in book form during the author’s lifetime (UMCS Publishing House 2004, first published in Kresy, 1999). On the 10th anniversary of the author’s death, Warsztaty Kultury in Lublin prepared a new edition with intriguing illustrations that compare old and contemporary Lublin. It includes reproductions of magnificent copper engravings by Leon Urba\u0144ski, photographs of Castle Square, and archival photos of the Jewish district collected by the Grodzka Gate \u2013 NN Theatre Centre. Additionally, this new edition includes an English version and a note about the author, prepared by Grzegorz J\u00f3zefczuk, who is a journalist, editor, and artistic director of the International Bruno Schulz Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div>
