We are pleased to invite you to the presentation of the book “Widnokrąg” by Wiesław Mysłowski, one of the most prominent contemporary Polish writers.

When: 18 April at 17:00

Where: The building of the Polish Institute (29-B Petra Sahaidachnoho Street)

The autobiographical novel Widnokrąg (1996) by Polish writer Wiesław Mysławski is an achronological novel: in it, the past (World War II) rolls in waves to the postwar years less distant in time from the present and to the events in the life of the narrator Piotr that are contemporary with the writing of the book. The action takes place in a Polish province, a village and a small town in eastern Poland, and the writer has made the colloquial language of the inhabitants of these areas one of the characters in the novel. The key image of the work, which is included in its title, is a metaphor for the fate of a person as a time-space that has a centre – a point of constant return – and a boundary that everyone has to reach and cross.
