Abstract

The text is a discussion of the UMCS publication Polskość i europejskość w Josepha Conrada wizjach historii, polityki i etyki [Polishness and Europeanism in Joseph Conrad's vision of history, politics and ethics] edited by Wieslaw Krajka. This is the second volume in the series Joseph Conrad a Polska, Europa Środkowo-Wschodnia i świat [Joseph Conrad and Poland, Central and Eastern Europe and the world], is part of the research activities carried out by the Conrad Research Department at the UMCS. The monograph, like its predecessor, is a selection of texts previously published in English in the 22 volumes of the series Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives. The review highlights the qualities of the publication, which presents works by leading Polish and foreign Conrad experts. In addition to popularizing the author, it also is an attempt to recover Conrad, who is almost absent in the Polish education.
