Witkacy na wojnie
Witkacy at war

Summary/Abstract: For Janusz Degler, a review of Krzysztof Dubiński's book Wojna Witkacego, czyli kumboł w galifetach (Wydawnictwo Iskry, Warsaw 2015) becomes a pretext to present the course of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz's service in the Tzar's army. The author shows the importance of the material contained in the book, which Dubiński gathered for 30 years – he points out how competently the book abolishes the myths and legends surrounding Witkacy's service, which had grown over the years. Degler praises the ability to include digressions in a detailed reconstruction of the events of the war – he thinks that even light anecdotes and information builds a multifaceted view of the colonel's life.
