Stanislaw Salzman: a tragic yarn. A Lvov sketch

This sketch on the life of the pre-war Lvov outlines an interesting literary milieu emerging there toward the end of the 1920s decade, now entirely forgotten. The present essay primarily attempts at recalling Stanislaw Salzman, poet and columnist. Against the clear example of the man and his oeuvre, the fate is described of the whole generation of artists of Jewish origin who once chose the Polish culture and language, combined with a left-wing orientation.
