The following article discusses the impact of the First World War on the work of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy), and a British modernist polymath, Wyndham Lewis. Both artists took part in the combat on the Eastern and Western Fronts respectively, which proved to be a transformative experience and informed their creation during and after the war. Dissatisfied with the development of the avant-garde he had once helped to establish, Wyndham Lewis departed from mainstream modernism by exploring the legacy of wartime violence and by styling himself as a counter-cultural figure. Likewise, Witkacy swam against the tide of optimism, prevalent in the newly restored Polish state. His writings and paintings offered visions of the world shattered beyond repair, where the only possible kind of existence is in fact pseudomorphic and where happiness is achieved through a suspension of critical faculties, or by sinking to the level of beasts consciously.

The article explores the influence of Orwell’s fiction on the creative output of Ray Davies, one of Britain’s finest songwriters and the erstwhile frontman of The Kinks, a ‘British Invasion’ group. The Davies oeuvre can be placed alongside Orwell’s work due to its entertainment value, sharpness of ob- servation and complex, conflicted socio-political sympathies. By balancing utopian visions with dystopian premonitions and by offering regular critiques of the culture they hold dear, Orwell and Davies represent the same tradition of cautious patriotism. They also share a similar aesthetic, communicating their insights through humour, self-mockery and acerbic wit.

The following review article discusses the first Polish monograph devoted to the figure of Benjamin Fundoianu/Fondane, by Olga Bartosiewicz. It summarises the main arguments of the study, which constitutes a thorough overview of the poet’s life and work. It also praises the author for her ability to create a convincing portrayal of a modernist in a state of turmoil, engaged in an identity quest, or in a flight from himself and his origins, at a very unfortunate time in history.
