A question was raised on 4 March 2013, on the article's page, concerning the source of the text.

The translation originally appeared in The Polish Review, vol. LX, no. 1 (1995), pp. 102-3.

Thank you. It is said on their website "The entire print run of Polish Review, from 1956 on, will be available at the JSTOR database website in 2112 or 2113." I cannot wait another hundred of years, so I am asking: what is the other of the "Two Micro-Stories by Boleslaw Prus" in this volume, and how sure are you in the GNU Free Documentation license of the text?

If possible, can you please upload a scanned copy of the original to Wikimedia Commons? 129.94.239.199 05:39, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply


While a previous English translation of "Shades" by Christopher Kasparek appeared in The Polish Review (see above), the present translation is a new better version by the same translator – a new work, not previously published elsewhere and now made available by the translator.
The Polish-language original of the story, "Ciene", may be seen on the Polish-language Wikisource at [1].
In the event of any questions, please contact me on Wikipedia, at [2].
Thank you.
