Sławek Gortych at the Book Club with PKP Intercity | "The Karkonosze Festival"

Empik, W.A.B. Publishing, and PKP Intercity invite you to a meeting dedicated to the book "The Karkonosze Festival" – the latest novel by Sławek Gortych, author of the bestselling Karkonosze Crime Series and winner of the Empik Bestseller Award 2025. The interview will be conducted by Justyna Dżbik-Kluge. Sławek Gortych once again takes readers into a world full of mountain mysteries, unexplained stories, and dark secrets hidden in the shadow of Karkonosze trails. In "The Karkonosze Festival," the past intertwines with the present, and what seems like an ordinary hiking trip quickly becomes a story filled with tension, questions, and disturbing discoveries. What really happened during the titular Karkonosze Festival? What secrets does Robert's family home conceal? What did Bronisław lose while fighting for his dreams? And why do old stories still demand explanation? During the meeting, we will discuss the phenomenon of Sławek Gortych's bestselling series, the author's inspirations, and why the Karkonosze Mountains are such a perfect setting for a crime novel. Useful information:

- Please arrive 15 minutes early – seats are not numbered.
