Summary/Abstract: A publication of statements by translators and researchers from nine countries, all dealing with the works of Bruno Schulz, presented at the inauguration of the X International Bruno Schulz Festival in Drohobych, on 12 July 2022, upon the 130th anniversary the birth of the author of Republika marzeń. Words dedicated to Schulz and Ukraine at war were said during a video call on the stage of the Yuriy Drohobych Theatre of Music and Drama in Drohobych – the only festival event that took place on-line. The X SchulzFest lasted for a week and all events enjoyed enormous interest of the recipients. The participants of a virtual journey to the sites of Schulz’s life and works in his home tome included Stanley Bill (United Kingdom), Xavier Farré (Spain), Keti Kantaria (Georgia), Ariko Kato (Japan), Wei-Yun Lin-Górecka (Taiwan), Hanele Palková (Czech Republic), Theodosia Robertson (USA), Henryk Siewierski (Brazil), Branislava Stojanović (Serbia), and Karen Underhill (USA). The presented publication contains all ten statements. Some are combined with handmade birthday cards intended for Schulz (Hanele Palková, Karen Underhill), and a poem dedicated to him (Xavier Farré). The online meeting was chaired in Drohobych by Vera Meniok, whose letter addressed to Schulz experts and translators of his works opens this publication.
