Andrzej Leder’s monograph Prześniona rewolucja. Ćwiczenia z logiki historycznej [Sleepwalking the Revolution. An Exercise in Historical Logic] allows us to look at Julian Przyboś in a new perspective, which at least in part removes the communist label from the co-author of the anthology of revolutionary poetry Wzięli diabli pana [The devils have taken the lord] (1955) and thus forces us perhaps even to abandon the “white and red” perception of the 20th-century life stories of Poles. Aware of the historical significance, the poet would not say about the post-war social revolution, “It just happened”.
