Summary/Abstract: Presented in the translation into Polish, Jacques Chaplain’s review is a fragmentary overview of the three volume monograph by a world-known physicist Emmanuel Desurvire , devoted to his ancestor, Karol Edmund Chojecki (1822–1899). This Polish emigrant of the era of Romanticism, known in France under the pseudonym Charles Edmond, was presented from the side of various, closer or further relationships with the representatives of French culture, science and politics of that time (such as Gustave Flaubert , Goncourt brothers, Pierre Joseph Proudhon or Georges Clemenceau ), as well as his own creative achievements (in the fi elds of playwriting, dramaturgy, publicism and art of translation). Source materials — family archives and other documents that were not printed before, abundantly collected by the French biographer,shed new light on of this interesting person and his vicissitudesof life.
