Yes - that's the title: in polish - 'Historia Literatury Arabskiej' is literally translated to 'A Guide to Arabic Literature'. Nowadays we have online library catalogues that systematize a list of all the books a library owns - the catalogue records when a book is checked out, for how long, when it is returned. It also describes what the book is about, it specifies whether it is a part of a series, what genre it is classified among. But 1-2 centuries ago, they didn't have that system. That is why they created books like these: books that described a whole list of other books that were part of a 'family' - for example: this guide describes the history of Arabic literature.

With the marble design on its cover, it looks more like a modern notebook taken from a regular stationery store. But do not be deceived by its appearance.

There is an explanation with the calendar that says " This carved bamboo tassel contains a traditional Bataknese calendar. The calendar is used to help them schedule dates for special events such as weddings, and other celebrations since they believe certain days bring exceptional luck. This calendar illustrates all the lucky days throughout the year.” My mum is Batakness, so she has many more antique Indonesian things used for decorations.

These are also handed over from generations. The cup is pure silver and was used in my great grandma's, grandma's and mom's weddings. This was made in the late 1800's. The purpose of handing over these precious items, is to preserve memories, and to keep tradition. The silver 'bottle' is also pure silver and is used to sprinkle rose water.

These are real silver anklets, known in Hindi as 'payal'. They are about 3 inches in length, and I only wore this a few times as a baby. These were passed down from my mom's grandmother (my great grandmother). It's almost like a tradition since all of my mother figures (mom, grandmother, great-grandmother) have worn them. I really like them because I was never able to meet my great-grandmother before she passed away, so this is a way I can remember her. The most fascinating part is that this is probably made in the late 1800's.

This is a photograph of the Tasmanian wilderness in Australia taken by a photographer I especially liked. This photograph was taken in the 1970s. The photographer drowned later on in a river when he was out taking photos. This photo is very special to me because I love the  untamed Tasmanian wilderness. It makes me feel connected to nature. I also love the story behind the photographer, he was one of the first people to preserve the wilderness and as we know today this is very important for our future.
