I'm going to continue posting about Polish events, culture etc.
Now I want to tell you about Granda, festival of the crime novels.
It isn't a new event, because there were editions before - in Wrocław and Piła. Then organisers decided that it's a good idea to organise it also in Poznań. Thanks to that during the weekend October 9-11 there was Granda Festival in this city :)
The main events take place in the old bulding of PKP station. It started in Friday, 10/09/2015. I was at the beginning and it was really fascinating! I participated in a lecture untitled "Poznań jako bohater powieści" (Poznań as a literary hero). There were four writers - Ryszard Ćwirlej, Joanna Opiat-Bojarska, Piotr Bojarski i Bohdan Głębocki. They said where in Poznań they placed action of their books.
Next I went to an exhibition of the forensic medicine focused on identifying a man after his death. The policemen told us that it's very difficult task, but not infeasible. That's why it is impossible to commit a perfect crime. The photos were very drastic and because of that the exhibition was forbidden to children.
But still I find it very educating. I'm rather interested in languages than in science, so it was a great opportunity for me to learn a lot of new things.
Next year there are going to be a second edition of Festival. I highly recommend it to you, because there are events for everyone, also for children (such as mysteries in cartoons). Granda is for people in every age, so you won't be disappointed.
