Summary

Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski: Drugi svijet

The novel Drugi svijet is one of the first literary testimonies about the industrial horrors of the Stalinist camps - true, striking, bitter, at the same time drinkable, masterfully written in a high modernist style. Only extremely good books escape the boundaries and molds of genres, so Second World (with the significant subtitle Soviet Records) can be defined as a novel, memoir, diary with a touch of essayism... Herling-Grudziński's title, subtitle and structure directly refer to Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky's Notes from a Dead House. In The Second World, the author not only deals with the Russian roots of Soviet totalitarianism, but with that dominant, violent spirit of the 20th century - as an educated, spiritualized cosmopolitan who survived the camp - he looks at the breadth and depth of Europe and the West. Therefore, ironically - but also precisely - he will define his Second World as a "Bildungsroman" (a novel about growing up and the formation of personality)... This novel is a canon of Polish literature and first-class world literature.
