Summary

 

Gustaw Herling Grudzinski: Diary written at night

 

Diary written at night by Polish emigrant writer Gustav Herling-Grudziński is one of the most significant diaries of European literature of the second half of the 20th century. 
The diary written at night was not created literally in the late hours, but above all in gloomy times, in a period in which "history was released from the chain". It is a fascinating commentary by a shrewd intellectual on the people, events and processes that surround him. The range of the author's preoccupations is diverse: from political analysis to art criticism to philosophical reflections on the position of man in the modern world. In Dnevnik - written for a full thirty years - the writer is a chronicler of the epoch, a thinker, a connoisseur of painting, a polemicist, a historian, a moralist, an artist and, for all that, an irreconcilable judge... The diary entries are interwoven with mini-essays whose main character is always man and the questions that haunt him.
An important place in Dnevnik is occupied by reflections on Italy, where the writer spent most of his life, and about his homeland Poland, which at that time was going through a turbulent period of great changes caused by the fall of communism, as a result of which he arrived in the country in 1991, after almost half a century spent in emigration. The joy of regaining freedom is mixed with critical reflections on the direction his homeland is taking.
The author himself wrote about his diary: "It fulfills all my writing ambitions. It fulfills me completely and therefore I will probably never write a novel. The diary will be my opus magnum."
