• Authors: Olaszek, Jan

Abstracts

PL

Jan Walc was a character with rich achievements, and at the same time colorful and interesting. He was a critic who writes about Tadeusz Konwicki and Adam Mickiewicz, secretary of Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz ordering his archives and at the same time one of the most severe critics of his attitude, teacher, a co-worker of weeklies “Polityka” and “Kultura”, and finally – a longtime activist of the democratic opposition and a leading publicist and printer of the second circulation in the PRL. The above calculation itself shows the originality of this character, today almost completely forgotten. In his texts he critisised party activists, militiamen, prosecutors, luminaries of Polish literature, democratic opposition leaders, former and current colleagues, and even his daughter’s teachers. In the talk I will want to show the Jan Walc’s way to participate in independent publishing movement and his role in this phenomenon.
