Adam Mickiewicz comme intermédiaire entre le génie de Puškin et l'opinion littéraire française
No full textWiktor Woroszylski, The part played by Adam Mickiewicz. as an intermediary between the genius of Pushkin and the opinion of the French literary world.
The present article examines the role of the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz as an intermediary between Pushkin and the French public opinion in the late 1830's and early 1840's, acquainting the literary circles of France with the Russian poet's work, life history and their significance in the context of Russian society and culture. At the time, Pushkin was not well known in the West. Though the circumstances of his death had awakened attention, the lack of good translations and ignorance of the specificity of Russian life did not contribute to a good understanding of the poet's destiny. Mickiewicz - then an emigre in Paris - was the first to expound (in the necrology he published in Le Globe and in his lectures at the College de France) the determining influence exercised by the power then ruling in Russia on the fate that had overtaken the poet.Wiktor Woroszylski, Adam Mickiewicz comme intermédiaire entre le génie de Puškin et l'opinion littéraire française. L'article étudie le rôle qu'a joué le poète polonais Adam Mickiewicz comme intermédiaire entre Puškin (son œuvre, sa vie, leur signification dans la société et la culture russes) et l'opinion française à la fin des années 1830 et au début des années 1840. Puškin était alors peu connu en Occident ; les circonstances de sa mort attirèrent l'attention du public, mais l'absence de bonnes traductions et l'ignorance des particularités de la vie russe n'aidaient pas à comprendre le destin du poète. Mickiewicz, alors dans l'émigration à Paris, a été le premier à expliquer (dans sa nécrologie parue dans Le Globe et dans son cours au Collège de France) comment le destin du poète russe avait été déterminé par le caractère du pouvoir qui régnait alors en Russie.Woroszylski Wiktor. Adam Mickiewicz comme intermédiaire entre le génie de Puškin et l'opinion littéraire française. In: Cahiers du monde russe et soviétique, vol. 32, n°2, Avril-juin 1991. pp. 189-196
"You write letters just like books" : on the correspondence of Wiktor Woroszylski with Jerzy Stempowski, Jerzy Giedroyc and Zbigniew Żakiewicz
No full textThe aim of this article is to analyze the collection of letters between Wiktor Woroszylski and the writers: Jerzy Stempowski, Jerzy Giedroyc and Zbigniew Żakiewicz. It is based on two volumes of Woroszylski's letters, published in 2020. The paper reveals a letter as genre, which can be read as an evidence of a writer's life, a historical document, as well as a commentary on a legacy. The first three parts of the text include an analysis of the collection of letters. It traces the characteristics of the relationships between the correspondents and the main subjects of the conversations along with the crucial writing strategies. The last part covers a wider reflection on the epistolographic work of Woroszylski. Firstly, the key features of the letter as a genre are considered, i.e. its performativity, dialogicality (connected with the relation between "you" and "I") and at the same time conversion between the personal and textual self. Secondly, the main issue of the paper reveals Woroszylski as an author, a man, a correspondent and an activist but also shows how he manifests himself in the letters. The main purpose is to present Woroszylski as a subject of epistolary writing. It means that he has to be considered as a real person at a specific point in life as well as in the instance related to the situation of the text. It is related to the author's self-creation in two meanings of this word: self-presentation and self-conceptualization. Nevertheless, the image of Woroszylski remains internally consistent and, furthermore, it is compatible with his biographical and creative portrait. To conclude it must be admitted that his epistolography should be examined among the writer's other works, because, as a genre, letters refer to the real world and require both textual and non-textual references

No full text<i>Два часа в резервуаре</i> by Iosif Brodski vs. its variant by Wiktor Woroszylski <i>Dwie godziny w zbiorniku</i> as an example of translating intertextual elements and an intertextualized text
No full textThe article considers the translation by Wiktor Woroszylski of various types of intertextual elements included by Iosif Brodski in his poem Два часа в резервуаре (In English – Two hours in the tank). Regardless of the different translation decisions and noticeable associative shifts that concern specific intertextual elements, the translation as a whole should be considered successful. Nevertheless, in the course of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that in the case of an intertextualized text (one that is saturated with intertextual elements), the preservation in the translation of the associative chains that make up the network of intertextual associations is more important than the adequacy of the specific elements of the text
