The paper focuses on the letter from Stefan Napierski to Kazimierz Wyka of November 15, 1938. It sheds light on the publication of the notorious Double Review of The Sanatorium under the Sign of an Hourglass written by the two critics in Ateneum. The author recapitulates the reception of the Double Review, which is now considered the most vicious attack on Schulz’s fiction before World War II and a great mistake of Wyka and Napierski. The letter proves that even though the “notorious squib” was not intended by the editior-in-chief, it resulted from his policy and articulated the views of both critics on contemporary literature.

Bruno Schulz i polityka

100%
PL
Bruno Schulz and politicsThe article discusses Bruno Schulz’s attitude toward politics. It is well known that the author of The Cinnamon Shops was a nonpolitical man. This was the reason for some fi erce attacks against his prose conducted by politically engaged literary critics in the interwar Poland. The author mentions these attacks but he also analyzes Schulz’s less known essays about Piłsudski, Aragon and Brecht, and the way Schulz pictured politics in his prose. It seems that a political dictionary of the author of The Street of Crocodiles comprised terms from different political ideologies; he alluded to Marx, anarchism and Brzozowski. At the end of his article the author discusses the question whether Schulz’s nonpolitical attitude could be compared to the so called conservative revolution in Germany after World War I.

New biography of BrzozowskiThe article is a review of Stanislaw Brzozowski biography written by Andrzej Mencwel. The reviewer emphasizes the connection with the author’s earlier works on Brzozowski, indicates the author’s increased interest in the work of the author of Legends of Young Poland. Essayistic and interdisciplinary character of Mencwell’s biography explains well the uniqueness of Brzozowski in the twentieth-century Polish and European culture.

The article reconstructs and analyses the image of Poznań 1956 protests in the well known novel cycle by Janusz Krasiński. For the protagonist, Szymon Bolesta, the death of Romek Strzałkowski is particularly painful, an event extensively reconstructed in the conclusion of Niemoc , one of the novels. The execution of Romek and the propaganda lies about it, are for Bolesta the key examples of the criminal nature of the communist regime, and the Black Thursday he interprets as an unsuccessful national uprising.

Zdziwienia Henryka Markiewicza

PL
Henryk Markiewicz’s Marvellings The review discusses Henryk Markiewicz column Moje zdziwienia [My Marvellings] run in “Wielogłos” since 2008. Markiewicz commented on current events at the academia and literary criticism. This column was an outstanding example of Markiewicz’s knowledge and critical and analytical abilities. In Moje zdziwienia he fought against academic incompetence, obscurity, ignorance, irresponsibility and opportunism. He was an excellent polemist. His column also proved Markiewicz’s sense of humor and literary skills. As Maciej Urbanowski suggests Markiewicz’s activity resembled in some ways that of Karol Irzykowski, one of the most independent Polish literary critics in 20th century.

A GESTURE OF LAUGHTER IN THE LITERATURE OF THE SECOND POLISH REPUBLIC: RECONNAISSANCEThe article reconstructs „a gesture of laughter” in the literature of the Second Polish Republic. It reminds that in the beginning of 20’s in the 20th century laughter was considered by Polish writers (inspired by Stanisław Brzozowski and some other thinkers of Young Poland) as a gesture of cultural and antropological vitality and modernity. This is the reason why laughter was treated as a necessary element of Polish modern culture. A good example of such a thinking is not only the poetry of Kazimierz Wierzyński and of poets of Skamander group, but also a literature of Polish futurism, or short stories of Eugeniusz Małaczewski. But by the end of 20’s, laughter began to upset Polish writers. Aleksander Wat, Witold Gombrowicz, Bolesław Leśmian and Jerzy Stempowski showed ambivalent, destrucitive, inhuman or even nihilistic power of laughter. This ambivalent attitude of Polish writers to the gesture of laughter is typical by the end of 30’s but also in the afterwar Polish literature.

Artykuł rekonstruuje obraz PRL w monumentalnym pięcioksięgu powieściowym Janusza Krasińskiego, jednym z najważniejszych osiągnięć literatury polskiej po 1989 roku. Krasiński ukazał w nim Polskę w latach 1945-1989 z perspektywy Szymona Bolesty, który jako 18-latek zostaje fałszywie oskarżony przez komunistów o szpiegostwo i skazany na 15 lat więzienia. Doświadczenie więzienne i późniejsza kariera literacka Bolesty każą zobaczyć w PRL twór wrogi, obcy i niebezpieczny, oparty na przemocy i kłamstwie, budzący lęk, niszczący przede wszystkim ludzkie dusze i próbujący stworzyć nową, nieludzką etykę.

The article reconstructs the image of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) in the monumental pentalogy by Janusz Krasiński, one of the most important achievements of Polish literature after 1989. In his works Krasińki showed Poland in the years 1945-1989 from the perspective of Szymon Bolesta, who at the age of 18 was falsely accused by the communists of espionage and sentenced to 15 years in prison. The prison experience and Bolesta’s later literary career makes the reader perceive PRL as a hostile, alien and dangerous entity, based on violence and lies, arousing fear, destroying human souls and trying to create new non-human ethics.
