„Co by było, gdyby…”, czyli o (dwóch) możliwych, a niezrealizowanych historiach emigracyjnych

The text is based on unpublished letters between Mieczysław Grydzewski and Kazimierz Wierzyński and between Jerzy Giedroyc and Jan Lechoń. It gives an account of the talks in 1946 about potential publishing a magazine by Grydzewski in Rome under the auspices of 2nd Polish Corps (talks held before establishing „Kultura” in 1947) and also of the efforts made to gain Lechoń as a co-worker for the periodical and discussions about printing in „Kultura” the poet’s journal (it was earlier than the printing of Witold Gombrowicz’s journal in 1953). The cited extensive letters are a testimony of unknown events from the culture-literary life of Polish pro-independence emigration after World War II.
