„Topos” a inne pisma literackie – podobieństwa i różnice

Abstract

Twenty five years ago the first issue of the literary magazine “Topos” appeared. This article is an attempt to recognise this journal, summaries and comparisons with other literary magazines – with some, selected, because there are plenty of literary magazines in Poland. With those chosen who are or were, because they no longer exist in the reading market, as important, significant – for example “Twórczość”, “Odra”, “Akcent”, “Zeszyty Literackie”. Against the above backdrop, “Topos” is a distinctive magazine, has developed its own formula. In the axiological system it inclines towards metaphysics, the “second space” and higher-order values. Other literary magazines on the market – differently, “Topos” clearly excels in presenting these values. It is not a hermetic magazine, associated not only with a specific group of authors. It is characterised by openness, universality. It withstands the test of time – this is one of the most difficult tests.
