Pamiec fabularyzowana. Powojenne poprawki w "Szkicach piórkiem" Andrzeja Bobkowskiego

Abstract

Ever since its publication in 1957 Andrzej Bobkowski’s literary diary from occupied France, "Szkice piórkiem", was an object of controversy: did its author correct it ex-post and add new text while preparing it for publication? Comparing recently resurfaced original wartime manuscripts with the published version I show that he did, and I reconstruct those elements of interwar and wartime political thinking prominent among European intellectuals that Bobkowski chose to reformulate and obliterate in the Cold-War era, when he was living in exile in Guatemala: his wartime anti-Semitism, distrust towards the United States and elite distance towards mass culture.
