The article discusses the publishing activities of Roy Publishers in New York from 1940 to the 1960s, particularly its impact on popularizing Polish literature and information about Poland in the U.S. The publishing house continued the tradition of the former house, named “Rój”, which was active during 1924-1940 in Warsaw and established by Melchior Wańkowicz, then managed together with Marian Kister. The article is based on the materials from the publishing house archive, now held at Stanford University Libraries, a valuable research source on the émigré cultural heritage of the 2nd Republic of Poland.

L’articolo si concentra sulla descrizione, presente in quasi tutte le opere di Kazimiera Alberti tra le due guerre, dell’analisi letteraria dei problemi sociali. Ciò che è evidente in questo lavoro è la “gerarchia” delle persone che soffrono per le disuguaglianze sociali, economiche, etniche o legate al sesso. Questa “gerarchia” può essere para­gonata ai gironi dell’inferno, sebbene in questo caso il livello della sofferenza non dipende dai peccati commessi ma dal grado di rifiuto della società. L’ Alberti colloca gli ibridi culturali ed etnici nel più profondo cerchio dell’inferno – sono visti come stranieri (e spesso non come esseri umani) da entrambe (o più) culture / comunità da cui provengono.

The paper focuses on an undercurrent analysis of social problems present in almost all Kazimiera Alberti’s work written in an interwar period. A kind of “hierarchy” of people suffering from social, economic, ethnic and gender inequality is evident in Alberti’s works. This “hierarchy” could be considered as hell circles, although a gradation of pain and misery depends on a level of social rejection, not on committed sins. Alberti puts cultural and ethnic hybrids in the deepest circle of hell – those people are perceived as others/aliens (and often not as human beings) by both (or more) cultures/communities, they are “made” from.
