| dc.description.abstract | The paper concerns the procedures of awarding Polish writers, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Władysław Reymont, Czeslaw
Miłosz, and Wisława Szymborska, the Nobel Prize.
The author is interested not exactly in literary output of the Nobel Prize winners and its estimation but in so to
say sociological aspect of the matter that is circumstances of the prize award, the course of the Stockholm
ceremonies as well as Polish and worldwide responses of the decisions. Studying this issues, the author managed to
get to hitherto unknown materials stored in registry of the Nobel Library in Stockholm, in PAK in Krakow, in the
New File Registry in Warsaw, and in Katarzyna Gruber’s folder stored in the Mickiewicz Museum of Literature in
Warsaw. Katarzyna Gruber was a librarian in the Nobel Library in Stockholm.
All this results in many interesting, hitherto unknown and sometimes simply sensational pieces of information
included in the paper. | en_EN |
