O pewnej nienapisanej książce

Abstract

This article presents the story of an unfinished book by Jerzy Stempowski about the Roman poet Ovid. The author analyzes the reasons for giving up this project by Stempowski so that in this way Stempowski’s attitude towards emigration and exile was reconstructed. In Stempowski’s eyes Ovid’s attitude towards exile was too unambiguous so that it could become the model for 20th century emigration writers.
