About the author

Polish poet, dramatist, prosaist, essayist, philosopher, painter and sculptor. An outsider, despite his acquaintance with the famous - Chopin, Mickiewicz, Słowacki and Krasiński, he remained underestimated to be finally appreciated in the XX century. Censorship in partitioned Poland forced him to live in Paris. His work included hundreds of poems, some prose, dramas, sketches, paintings and sculptures. His early unfulfilled love formed his style, full of sensitivity. Since then he was mostly lonely, with the first of two other known romances occurring at age of 47. His main interests were writing style, polish society and morality. He spent all money on works of art and journeys to live in London, Berlin, New York and, mostly, Paris.

[Blackbird · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nowela "Ad Leones" jako głos w sprawie pauperyzacji sztuki i jej nieuniknionego zmierzania w stronę popkultury wraz z końcem XIX wieku zasługuje na szczególną uwagę. Pisma społeczno-polityczne to kolejna niedoceniana "perła w koronie" Norwida.
