Kroki komandora by Jerzy Liebert. Interpretive Contexts

Summary/Abstract: The history of Don Juan has frequently been the canvas of poetic works, testifying to the undying quality of the myth, and at the same time, to the depth with which the seemingly banal story of the adventures of the corrupt nobleman is imbued. The story of sin and punishment, or, of responsibility for one’s deeds, became a creative inspiration for Jerzy Liebert, which resulted in his poem Kroki komandora. This essay adopts a bipolar perspective, treating the poem as, on the one hand, a translation of Alexander Blok’s The Commander’s Footsteps, which is thus closely related to the Russian original, and on the other hand, as a new and fully autonomous work taking into account the author’s biography as well as contexts related to the aesthetics of the times and the artistic millieu of the Skamander group.
