Maria Janion

Tears of a General


Maria Janion's latest book undertakes a polemic dialogue with the mythology of Polish patriotism still alive today, with its romantic, sacrificing style and tragic-ironic fascination with death. The heroes of the book are great artists and soldiers, including: Andrzej Wajda, Miron Bialoszewski, Jozef Czapski, Jerzy Kosinski, Leopold Buczkowski as well as the title-bearing weeper.
