W archiwum osobistym Adama Tarna (1902–1975) – pierwszego redaktora naczelnego miesięcznika „Dialog”, tłumacza, krytyka, powieściopisarza, dramaturga – znajdują się zapiski z luźnymi pomysłami do utworów dramatycznych, notatki do nieukończonej książki o Czechowie, a także niewielkie próby literackie – poprawiane, odkładane i na powrót rozwijane. Materiały te udostępniane dzięki uprzejmości spadkobierców są cennym świadectwem procesu twórczego i ewolucji pisarstwa redaktora naczelnego „Dialogu”. W kontekście debiutanckiej i jedynej ukończonej powieści Tarna Obraz ojca w czterech ramach (1934) intrygującym utworem jest zachowana w archiwum nieukończona powieść Kameleon. Artykuł charakteryzuje materiały znajdujące się w archiwum osobistym Tarna. Pozwala wniknąć w jego „wewnętrzne laboratorium” pisarskie i odczytać je m.in. w perspektywie biograficznej. Datowanie zgromadzonych materiałów można przyjąć jedynie orientacyjnie. Najwcześniejsza zachowana próba prozatorska zapisana po francusku pochodzi prawdopodobnie jeszcze z okresu międzywojennego. Ostatnie zapiski pochodzą z okresu emigracyjnego po 1968 roku, kiedy Tarn pracował nad nieukończoną książką o Czechowie.

The personal archive of Adam Tarn (1902–1975), the first editor-in-chief of the Dialog monthly and a translator, critic, novelist, and playwright, includes notes with loose ideas for plays, notes to his unfinished book on Chekhov, and minor literary attempts, which he corrected, set aside and later expanded. This material, which Tarn’s heirs kindly offered me for study, constitutes a valuable proof the creative process and the evolution of the writing of the Dialog’s editor-in-chief. In the context of Obraz ojca w czterech ramach [Father’s Image in Four Frames] (1934), Tarn’s début novel and the only one he completed, the novel Kameleon [Chameleon] is an intriguing item in the author’s collection of unfinished works. In this article I shall discuss the material contained in Tarn’s personal archive. This study offers an insight into his “internal laboratory” of writing and enables one to read it from, e.g., the biographical perspective. The dating of the collected material can be only approximated. The earliest surviving prose attempt written in French probably came from the interwar period, while the final notes were composed during his émigré period after 1968, when Tarn was working on his unfinished book on Chekhov.

The article has an interdisciplinary character. It combines biographical, historical, literary, dramaturgical, and film themes. Adam Tarn’s Common Business (Zwykła sprawa) is a drama which undoubtedly played an important role in the period of socialist realism together with the performance directed by Erwin Axer. In the article, the significance of Tarn’s work, which was awarded at the 1st Festival of Polish Contemporary Arts in the early 1950s, is shown against the background of the cultural policy pursued in the People’s Republic of Poland. The writer’s nine-year stay in America has been presented in the perspective of the emigration-related origin of the Common Business.The proposed juxtaposition of Tarn’s debut drama and Sidney Lumet’s Oscar-winning film Twelve Angry Men (screenplay by Reginald Rose) reveals the complex political context in which each of the works appeared. The 1949 New York Foley Square Trial of 11 members of the National Board of the CPUSA (Communist Party USA), which ‘was the best known legal proceeding against a communist party’, has been indicated as the direct inspiration for Tarn’s play.
