Abstract

The fiftieth death anniversary of Czesław Straszewicz (1904–1963) makes a perfect opportunity to present the writers archival epistolary legacy from the emigration period, so far unpublished. The addressee of most of the writer’s letters is Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, the director of the Polish Section of Radio Free Europe as well as a few other workers of this radio station. This body of letters is complemented by letters of the writer’s wife, Ewa Roman-Straszewicz to Tadeusz Zawadzki and Nowak-Jeziorański, written after the death of the author of Turyści z bocianich gniazd [Tourists from stork nests].
