The Poet’s Biography Till 1945. A review: Rafał Żebrowski, Zbigniew Herbert. „Kamień, na którym mnie urodzono”. Warszawa 2011

Summary/Abstract: The review discusses Zbigniew Herbert’s biography till the year 1945, written by Rafał Żebrowski, the poet’s nephew. The possibility of taking advantage of the family archive and Żebrowski’s due research distance lead to the construction of an exceedingly important perspective, undermining the myths created by the author of “Pan Cogito (Mr. Cogito).” A full-scale family tradition becomes here a starting point to sketching even richer picture of one of the most significant Polish 20th poets.
