Hello Gentle Reader
Tadeusz Konwicki one of Poland’s literary greats of the twentieth century, and wrote of the horrors of living under a totalitarian regime and its Kafkaesque bureaucracies, had passed away, very early this New Year. Konwicki is known for his novel “A Minor Apocalypse,” a satirical novel that detailed life under an oppressive authoritarian government. It had bypassed the censors and the government’s approval, because it was published via underground presses that were utilized in order for writers to write freely and openly, but also have their work distributed to the public who needed to see their realities were noticed, by others, and were not the sole constructs of mind; and the corrosive desire of the regime attempts to warp the realities into a more pleasing official state concept of reality that should be readily administered to and accepted by the general populace. However Konwicki was not always adamantly against the communist ideals perpetrated upon him and his countrymen. He fought in World War II in Poland’s resistance, and had believed in communism at first; but eventually fell out of favour with the party and the authorities as well. Konwicki was also a filmmaker and screenwriter and was well renowned for these activities. He adapted Milosz's novel “The Issa Valley,” into a film, and had captured the countryside of his youth into the film and rekindled fond memories of the part of Poland that was given to Lithuania.
Rest in Peace Tadeusz Konwicki
