Ukryci świadkowie, czyli co pozostało (w książce Ficowskiego i w realnym świecie) po dwóch kolegach Brunona Schulza
Journal Title: Schulz/Forum - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Among the earliest witnesses of Bruno Schulz’s life known by Jerzy Ficowski were two lawyers from Drohobych, Michał Chajes and Izydor Friedman (after the war Tadeusz Lubowiecki). Although they played a particularly large role in the early formation of knowledge about Schulz and gave a detailed characteristic of the writer, they were not mentioned by Jerzy Ficowski in his Regions of the Great Heresy and remained hidden witnesses. The reason lies deep in the realm of genre conventions of Regions, conditioned by literary culture of Ficowski who, formed in the circle of the nineteenth-century novels, great realism and vie romancée, omitted quotes and references to other people’s testimonies and, therefore, eliminated the possibility of determining facts.
