It looks at Four Days in Atlantis as an allegory of the past that has not wanted to move on and that has lingered in spite of the fact that — or perhaps because — people have not wanted to notice it. Not only does this book call for a balanced picture of the German occupation and a de-demonized picture of the post-war period, it also seeks to find a place for the complicated fate of Polish Jewry within the borders of Polish consciousness. It seeks this not only by the very fact of touching upon the problem and challenging the stereotypes accumulated throughout the years, but also by refusing to erect a wall of collective guilt before the contemporary Polish reader. Indeed, with Jewish culture still remaining an unopened book for many, Four Days in Atlantis can become an introduction to the subject, which until recently was taboo.

[1] As an author publishing on its pages, he co-created the particular profile of the journal and his texts became a crucial component of Kultura’ s“Eastern European” discourse. It’s worth reminding ourselves that for a long time he occupied fourth position in the list of Kultura’ smost frequently published authors. [2] Commissioned by Giedroyc, he wrote various kinds of text—from essays and reportages, reviews and verdicts of literary awards, to commentaries on current political affairs. He signed himself not only with his own name, but also with pseudonyms: “The Unhurried Passerby” (“Nieśpieszny przechodzień”), Paweł Hostowiec or Leon Furatyk.
