Ja, Adam. Kreacja narratora we „Fragmentach niespokojnego dzieciństwa” Adama Czerniawskiego
I, Adam: The Creation of the Narrator in „Scenes from a Disturbed Childhood” by Adam Czerniawski

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to discuss the memoirs entitled Scenes from a Disturbed Childhood of the Polish émigré poet Adam Czerniawski, published in Polish in 1995. The work concerns the early stage of the future artist’s life, marked by the wartime wanderings of his family from Warsaw to the Middle East and England. The analysis of the text was focused on those elements that indicate the moments of shaping the young poet’s identity. The considerations draw attention to the strong biographical element that shapes the structure of the work. Not only the restrained depiction of the wartime wandering and postwar attempts to settle in a foreign country, but above all the ways of self-creation are subject to a detailed review. Within these contexts, Scenes from a Disturbed Childhood can be read as an important text complementing the author’s literary œuvre.
