The guest of the second event in the \u201cSiberian Spirit\u201d series will be Professor W\u0142odzimierz Bolecki, an outstanding scholar of the works of Gustaw Herling-Grudzi\u0144ski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Together with our guest, we will attempt to explore the nature of the \u201cotherness\u201d of Sybir and its defining features, among which \u2013 from the perspective of a Polish deportee to Siberia \u2013 particular attention is paid to the fluid boundaries between camp reality and Siberian \u201cnormality.\u201d The point of reference for the discussion will be Herling-Grudzi\u0144ski\u2019s work, especially A World Apart<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About this extraordinary testimony of a Gulag prisoner \u2013 and at the same time a remarkable literary work \u2013 Professor Bolecki wrote: \u201cThese are stories of unimaginable brutality and degradation, but also of a heroic search for hope and freedom, love and friendship \u2013 feelings the camp sought to destroy entirely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date: 13 May 2022, 5:00 p.m. \u2013<\/strong> Live broadcast on the Sybir Memorial Museum\u2019s Facebook page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

W\u0142odzimierz Bolecki is a literary historian and literary theorist, Professor at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Vice-President of the Foundation for Polish Science. He has devoted numerous books to the life and works of Gustaw Herling-Grudzi\u0144ski. He also conducted extensive and compelling conversations with the author of A World Apart<\/em>, later published as Conversations in Dragonea (1997) and Conversations in Naples (2000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another writer of particular importance to Professor Bolecki is J\u00f3zef Mackiewicz, to whom he devoted several scholarly works, most notably the monograph The Birdman of Vilnius<\/em> (1991; expanded second edition 2007). His academic output also includes publications on the works of Bruno Schulz, Czes\u0142aw Mi\u0142osz and Stanis\u0142aw Ignacy Witkiewicz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
