„Na szczęście spotkałem Hanię”. Wizerunek Anny w Dziennikach Jarosława Iwaszkiewicza
Anna Iwaszkiewiczowa’s image in Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s memoirs

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the memoirs of Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, focusing on the image of his wife, Anna Iwaszkiewicz. Iwaszkiewiczowa – a diarist, translator and literary critic – lived in the shadow of her husband through the entire marriage, which was one of the reasons for her feeling of creative inability and uselessness. The analysis of Iwaszkiewicz’s private notes, written between 1911 and 1980, is on the one hand addition to the image of Iwaszkiewicz’s marriage, and on the other – polemics with its idealized image presented in literature (Mitzner 1998). It reconstructs two separate and contrasted images of Iwaszkiewiczowa, pointing to the reasons for this distinction and its effects. Including both the historical and the socio-political context, it explains the reasons why Iwaszkiewicz created the figures of his diaries in a certain way.
