Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer as successor of poetic lyre and the person who passed its down

Summary/Abstract: Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer came from a family in which literary traditions were vivid and played significant role. Stanislaw, Kazimierz’s grandfather, translated the work of the classics from Latin and German. Grandfather Karol wrote comedies and fables. Jozef, a cousin of grandfather’s brother, who later became a mathematician, in his student days released two volumes of poetry, where he placed lirics describing the beauty of the Tatra Mountains and some erotics. The poet’s father, Adolf, incomparable storyteller, wrote occasional poems. The author of this article describes the attitude of Young Poland poet to his ancestors. She is also interested in the poet’s desire to hand on the poetic lyre to his son, Kazimierz Stanislaw. Why does not the son took over the heritage?
