Dzieciństwo w biografii pisarza. Przypadek Brunona Schulza
Childhood in a Writer’s Biography: The Case of Bruno Schulz

Summary/Abstract: The author considers childhood as an element of a writer’s biography, connected withthe rest of his or her life in a complicated way. Under this approach, recounting the storyof the writer’s childhood is the biographer’s duty, which he or she – striving to show the‘truth’ – imposes on him- or herself, but does not necessarily fulfil. Biographers omit orreduce childhood for cultural reasons, based on the adopted convention, because of theirown convictions, or simply due to the lack of sources. The author challenges all thesereasons, arguing for the importance of childhood as a phase of human life.
