Summary/Abstract: This article presents Stanisław Brzozowski as a translator of works by John Henry Newman. Not only did Brzozowski translate the writings of the highly discussed and influential English thinker and preacher, who converted to Roman Catholicism, but he also selected the writings himself and explained them in the context of the European tradition. Brzozowski got involved in translation to an extraordinary extent and became Newman’s follower in life and shared his opinions, as it is vividly expressed in his Diary. According to Brzozowski’s own concept of the integrity of form in literature and life, he acts as a master of his craft focused on a single goal, that is, not a mere translation of Newman’s works but transformation of Newman’s readers into Newman’s followers.
