Henryk Sienkiewicz wobec myśli politycznej emigracji polskiej w Szwajcarii
Journal Title: Wiek XIX. Rocznik Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The author presents the political opinions of Henryk Sienkiewicz, which he displayed during the final two years of his life, when he was the chairman of the Vevey-based General Committee of Aid for the War Victims in Poland. The article particularly focuses on the analysis of his political views at the end of 1915, in the light of his previously unknown correspondence written to Count Karol Potulicki. During the First World War, Count Potulicki was strongly campaigned for the freedom of Poland in Swiss press. He was an activist of “La Pologne” et la Guerre association, founded by Jan Kucharzewski. Sienkiewicz was an honorary member of this organisation. The writer was neutral and apolitical, but in unofficial statements he did not try to hide his political views or beliefs. The analysis of the agreement between the writer and the journalist shows their unanimous perception of the general situation and as to what was required to aid the cause of Poland regaining independence.
