AB - 
	World War II scattered Polish writers all over the world. After the War, some of them came back to Poland and some chose to live abroad. Tadeusz Różewicz did not leave his homeland. Emigration was to find him later, and in a totally different dimension. Social realism was proclaimed during the Congress of Polish Writers’ Union in Szczecin in January 1949. Due to the numerous attacks of his fellow writes, rejecting his texts by the editors of magazines and difficult financial situation, Różewicz moved to a provincial town of Gliwice. Having moved, the author of Anxiety managed, for some time, to avoid participation in discussions and work in the Union’s sections. He cut his ties with the unfriendly environment of writers, editors, publishers, who were slowly changing into “soul engineers”. Despite his escape to a provincial town, the poet was not able to avoid unpleasant incidents. At the beginning, the pressure on him was limited to asking when he was going to become a party member. Then various “educational” methods were used to make the exile submissive to the party ideologists. Różewicz, however, did not give up writing. On the contrary, he remained independent. He did not change his attitude to please the party’s “literature conductors”. His works have always been a testimony, a document confirming his long way to regaining independence, to returning from inner emigration to which he was forced by people and the time he lived in.
