Others, like A. Adamczyk's "Tolkien and Nature", were published in other Polish tolkienist periodicals (in this case Gwaihir), and some of them, like for example M. Leśniewski's "The Question of the 'Round Arda'" or T. Olszański's "The Polish Story of The Lord of the Rings: Three Translations, Many Editions", were written specially for this issue.
Besides the articles and essays we have also included reviews of several Polish monographs on Tolkien and his work, published before 2004, and for those who like fanfiction, we have chosen three stories by Polish authors.
The main essay of the almanac is an analysis of the film made by Zosia Stanecka 'Nasturcja Gamgee', excellently supplemented by Michał Le¶niewski 'M.L''s reflections on the difficulties in adapting the book to screen.
