New Editions of Bronisław Piłsudski’s Works

Summary/Abstract: Japonia późnych lat okresu Meiji oczyma Bronisława Piłsudskiego, wybór, tłum., adapta- cja, przyp. i kom. Alfred F. Majewicz, Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Ko- pernika, Toruń 2020, (Japonika Toruniensia, t. 4) ss. 553Bronisław Piłsudski, Dziennik 1882–1886, wprowadzenie, posłowie Witold Kowalski, AR- KANA, Kraków 2021, ss. 841While in political exile in the Russian Far East (Sakhalin, Vladivostok), Bronisław Piłsudski (1866–1918) conducted significant research, documenting the culture of the local abori- ginal people, with a particular focus on the Sakhalin Ainu. Using wax rollers, he recorded valuable insights and observations about their way of life. These recordings, preserved in Poland and read in Japan, played a pivotal role in sparking international interest and studies on the work of this pioneering ethnographer. Recent years have borne fruit in the form of a biographical monograph by Kazuhiko Sawada (Japanese edition in 2019, Polish edition in 2022) and an anthology of journalistic articles discussing social relations in Ja- pan, initially printed in Russia since 1906 and later in Galicia and the Kingdom of Poland (since 1907). An English volume prepared by Alfred F. Majewicz will be published in The Collected Works of Bronisław Piłsudski. Furthermore, the published Diary of Piłsudski’s school years is included in the discussion.
