In Melchior Wankowicz: Poland's Master of the Written Word,
Aleksandra Ziolkowska-Boehm examines the life and writing of famous
Polish writer Melchior Wankowicz, author of legendary work "The
Battle of Monte Cassino". Acclaimed by his readers and critics
alike, Melchior Wankowicz was famous for creating his theory of
reportage, i.e. the "mosaic method" where the events of many people
were implanted into the life of one person. Melchior Wankowicz put
into words the beautiful, tragic and heroic events of Polish
history that provided a form of sustenance for a people that thrive
on patriotism and love of their country. Wankowicz's books shaped
national consciousness, glorified the heroism of the Polish
soldier. Later in his life, Wankowicz personally set an example by
standing up to the Communist party that brought him to trail for
his work. In this book, Ziolkowska-Boehm offers a critical
examination of Wankowicz's work informed by her experiences as his
private secretary. Her access to the author's personal archives
shed new light on the life and work of the man considered by many
to be "the father of Polish reportage."
