ФЛОРІАН ЧАРНИШЕВИЧ ЯК ПРЕДСТАВНИК КУЛЬТУРНОЇ ЕЛІТИ ПОЛЬСЬКОГО ЕТНОСУ В АРГЕНТИНІ

Abstract

The article presents a general analysis of the work of a Polish writer in the emigration of Florian Czarnyszewicz. His place in the culture of the Polish community of Argentina is shown, and the social activity of this extraordinary person is not neglected. An overview of the reception of his work by contemporaries and nowadays is given. The influence of his life path on the directions of creativity is objectified. Czarnyszewicz’s vision of the world around him, certain historical events, artistic and aesthetic analysis of the latter, represented by national-language polyphony in the context of constant aggressive influence of a foreign ethnic language environment, is necessarily objectified by him through individualism or through collective consciousness. In his public and literary activities, the Great Priberezinets implied related, at first glance unrelated, elements of the surrounding reality. As the literary critic Vaclav Lewandowski points out, Czarnyszewicz’s works may seem too anachronistic, in the opinion of readers accustomed to the already established ways of literary presentation. And the presence of such a manner of presentation in the latest literature is difficult to justify. If we look at the work of the author of „Priberezuntsy”, Lewandowski further claims, first of all from the perspective, what was acceptable in the prose of the twenties now seems old-fashioned and antediluvian. Czarnyszewicz is closer in style to Sienkiewicz, Orzeszko or Rodzewycz than to what has become commonplace in later literature.
