Herbert i jego austriaccy przyjaciele. O trzech pośrednikach między Austrią a Polską
Zbigniew Herbert and his Austrian Friends: On Three Mediators between Austria and Poland

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the volume Zbigniew Herbert und Österreich edited by Przemysław Chojnowski and devoted to Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998) and his presence in the Austrian culture. The author discusses selected phenomena connected with Herbert’s reception studies in Austria so as to focus on the poet’s friendships with the Austrians who played important roles both in Herbert’s private and official life. The cultural and social activities of A. Hauff-Nagl, W. Krauss and F.T. Csokor serve as “case-studies”, which – interpreted in the light of N. Luhmann’s theories – demonstrate a deep but diversified impact of each of them on the Austrian-Polish relationships in the 1960s.
