Holocaust through a Peasant Eye – Grotesque Testimony in “Such a Greater Wedding” by Tadeusz Nowak

Abstracts

EN

This article is an attempt of a lecture of Tadeusz Nowak’s novel Such a Greater Wedding in an anthropological key. The author examines a testimonial value of Nowak’s writing, interpreting a relationship between characters of different ethnicity: Polish peasants in a role of bystanders next to Jewish and Romani victims of Holocaust, through the concept of Andrzej Leder’s slept-through revolution. The paper also gives an insight in the Nowak’s use of grotesque, which serves to express dynamics of ressentiment and violence.
