Abstracts

EN

The article presents the broad relationship between Zygmunt Haupt and books, based on source materials from the Zygmut Haupt Papers collection at Special Collections, Stanford University Library in California. Zygmunt Haupt (1907-1975) was a Polish émigré writer and painter, who was published in the leading Polish émigré publications, such as „Culture” in Paris, „Wiadomości” in London, and „Tematy” in New York. He was a recipient of the Culture Award in 1962 and the Kościelski Foundation Award in 1971, but was not published in Poland during his lifetime. The author presents Z. Haupt as an author; a translator; a promoter of books not available to Polish readers at that time, on the waves of the Voice of America and the US Information Agency; and finally, a reader. By keeping contact with leading figures of the Polish émigré - Jerzy Giedroyc and the team of the Literary Institute in Paris, Mieczysław Grydzewski, Zygmunt Hładki and Zdzisław Ruszkowski in London, Paweł Mayewski, Józef Wittlin and Aleksander Janta-Połczyński in New York - he had the opportunity to exchange information about books published in the USA and Poland, as well as their readings. His extensive correspondence with booksellers in Poland, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, and the USA showcases his reading interests, as well as a rich collection of index cards with the titles he read, owned or ordered from booksellers abroad and in the USA.
