Summary
Gustaw Herling - Grudzinski: Bela noć ljubavi
Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski (1919–2000) tijekom posljednjeg desetljeća XX stoljeća slavljen je kao prvo ime poljske proze i esejistike. He published his first book, The Living and the Dead, in 1945 in Rome. In London in 1951, he published Other World, camp memories, which were translated into English the same year, and soon into other languages. After that, books of his stories were created, which in the framework of the collected works make up three volumes. He also proved to be an excellent essayist. 1969. objavio je prvu knjigu eseja Utvare revolucije, čiji je veći dio posvećen ruskim i sovjetskim piscima, totalitarizmu, problemu dobra i zla. Pored eseja, proslavio se šestotomnim Dnevnikom pisanim noću, koji je počeo objavljivati u pariškoj Kulturi nakon Gombrovičeve smrti i prestanka objavljivanja njegovog Dnevnika. In his diary, he appears as an "observer and chronicler", although he is a man and writer of an unusually rich and interesting biography. Osnovna tema dnevnika je XX stoljeće ili „povijest puštena s lanca“, moralni problemi čovjeka druge polovice stoljeća i, naravno, likovna umjetnost i književnost. When it seemed that he would write nothing more, in 1999 he published his first and only novel, The White Night of Love, with the subtitle Theater Novel. Its basic theme is eternal problems - love, sin and death.
