Konrad z Opola i jego dzieło
2018
"Tajemny wspólnik" Josepha Conrada i "Tajemniczy sojusznik" Petera Fudakowskiego
2018
Although Peter Fudakowski's film is distinctly different from its literary original, and is not a faithful adaptation, it is very faithful to Conrad's message. It tells the story of the young captain; his increasing responsibility for his crew and his ship. Similarity of their (the writer and the filmmaker) memories and experience made Fudakowski understand and express Conrads message and interpret his prose in his own artistic way.

Conrad Andrzeja Buszy
2019
The article presents Professor Andrzej Busza, a Conradian researcher, who is connected with the subject of his research, Joseph Conrad, by common experiences of alienation and growing into a different culture, life on the border of different worlds. Busza presents Conrad’s Polish heritage and its later influence on the writer’s work. Busza writes about Conrad ’s deep pessimism, which links the writer with contemporary Poles, as well as about Conrad’s popularity during the war and occupation, when“ fidelity becomes the greatest of virtues, and betrayal - the greatest crime” . Busza also speaks of Conrad’s attitude to Flaubert and Dostoyevsky, which, being fuli of paradoxes and contradictions…

Conrad Under Polish Eyes - or: is Conrad still "one of us"?
2015
This article discusses the attitude of Polish Conrad scholars towards Conrad and his works from the very beginning of his literary career to the present day, discussing the way they have perceived Conrad’s national identity and his cultural belonging. Although I aim to present a review of Polish criticism over the years, I pay particular attention to modern criticism, i.e. that of the period since the end of the Second World War, which includes the years of de facto communist rule (1945-1989). I try to determine whether Conrad is still “one of us”, whether he can be perceived as a moralist in the twenty-fi rst century and whether there is a need for such a moralist in present-day Poland.
Conrad's "Gaspar Ruiz" and Turgenev's "King Lear of the Steppes"
2018
Joseph Conrad nie krył swojej irytacji po przeczytaniu recenzji Roberta Lynda opublikowanej 10 sierpnia 1908 w „Daily News”, która była próba ukazania osobliwych podobieństw pomiędzy Gasparem Ruizem Conrada i Stepowym Królem Lirem Turgieniewa. Chociaż jest możliwe wskazanie pewnych podobieństw między głównymi bohaterami obu utworów, nie ma podstaw, aby stwierdził, że Conrad, pisząc Gaspara Ruiza, inspirował się Stepowym Królem Lirem Turgieniewa. Tak jak złudne są próby przyporządkowania Conrada do jednej tradycji literackiej, tak samo nie można interpretować tekstów Conrada w jednym kontekście. Można założyć, że chociaż bohaterowie Turgieniewa i Conrada często są świadomi czyhającego na nic…

”Twixt Land and Sea” in Conrad's Youth: a Narrative and Two Other stories...
2017
The article aims at discussing the interdependence of the marine and the land spaces in Conrad’s works. Although they serve the same purpose—they constitute the background, and set the scene for Conrad’s tales, the marine space works quite frequently as a catalyst for human actions. The Youth: A Narrative and Two Other Stories volume is analysed in order to present the image of land and sea as created by the writer. Moreover, the voyage, the element joining the tales, will be considered from the perspective suggested by Juliet McLauchlan in her inspiring article Conrad’s ‘Three Ages of Man’: The ‘Youth’ Volume.
Joseph Conrad-Korzeniowski, czyli polska dusza w literaturze angielskiej
2016
Joseph Conrad wniósł do literatury angielskiej prawdziwie polską duszę i fantazję. Ostatni z polskich romantyków, jak sam siebie nazwał, wprowadził do światowej literatury polskie dylematy, rozterki i wątpliwości, a także tęsknoty i pragnienia. Conrad przeniósł polskie doświadczenie na poziom uniwersalny i takim owo doświadczenie również uczynił. Rozmaite relacje współczesnych ukazują, jak niejednokrotnie trudno było odnaleźć się Polakowi w anglosaskiej rzeczywistości, i z jakimi przeciwnościami musiał się zmierzyć.
