      He proclaimed himself a genius and raged against the slightest criticism from fellow scholars; he was a Marxist who despised the 'Idiot People'; he could be generous yet hurled insults at his friends; he inveighed against Puritanism but was himself in many ways a Puritan: A L Rowse was a man of many contradictions. This book tells his story.

      Zapis rozmowy Lisy Wolford z Thomasem Richardsem, dyrektorem Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards (Pontedera, Włochy), przeprowadzonej w 1995 roku. Rozmowa ta daje wgląd w istotę twórczych poszukiwań Grotowskiego w domenie określanej przez niego mianem sztuka jako wehikuł, wyznaczającej końcowy etap jego poszukiwań. Richards opowiada tu m.in. o transformacji energii, która może nastąpić w pracy nad pieśniami z tradycji afrokaraibskiej. To dzięki tej pracy oraz dzięki oparciu się na strukturach działań wykorzystujących niebanalne wspomnienia performerów możliwa staje się wertykalna podróż ku temu, co subtelne.
