"BIBLJOTEKA LAUREATÓW NOBLA" is the first publishing enterprise of its kind in Europe, and therefore the editors will make every effort to ensure that the entire enterprise stands at a high level. The main concern, therefore, is the selection of translations that could worthily reflect in the Polish word the masterpieces of the newer and latest foreign literature [...] For the first time in Poland, the literature of translation has been included in this publication in a system, giving works of high artistic value from all foreign writings. Each of the Nobel laureates will be represented here with a number of their works, so that in time the entire bibioteka will include the flower of the cultural achievements of all nations. The foundation's board of trustees takes into account not only the aesthetic side of the works, but also their social and moral value, which is why the publishing house will bring together all the works, and will also have a certain ideological underpinning."
