JULIAN TUWIM

Julian Tuwim (He lived in the years 1894-1953) He was certainly the most outstanding poet among the Skamandrites, Really, few writers before him and after him with an equal championship was Polish language. Tuwim was an incomparable master of the poetic word, He was even called a word alchemist. He liked to show off a verbal virtuosity, He played with words himself and encouraged readers to do so. He believed in almost mystical power of poetic speech, he referred to the work of Jan Kochanowski (A well -known poem by Czarnoleska) and great Polish romantics, while rejecting the tradition of young Poland with its language manners, obsessive. His lyrics are a kind of bridge between the poetry of the nineteenth and twentieth century. You can also find numerous language experiments in it, attempts to omit the traditional logic of expression, reaching the essence of the language, fascination with the sound page, searching for language sources. A poem is a frequently cited example of such searches Słopievnaly:

In Bialodrzewie Jasnia Słoneczno,
Honey golden white,
Drzewia is full of bee and grasshopper,
And through the leaves of the crawl, the ruffles are not very good.

The interwar work of this writer is characterized by stylistic and thematic diversity. The songs from the 1920s are dominated by rebellion against the decadent moods of young Poland, Affirmation of the modern world, praise of the very existence and everyday life, Interest in even trivial events, tendency to call in poems (often delivered in a cafe under the picador) daily items, phenomena, situation. The poet's relationship with the life of the community are strong, He is fascinated by a big city and a gray man living in it, Vitalism is clear, The biology of this lyrics willingly referring to the colloquial language. These states of the writer's spirit are well reflected in the loud poem Spring. Dithyramb.

In later work, deprived of youthful optimism, Tuwima appear (marked in the second half of the 1920s) strong protest accents, political and social negation of Poland of the 1930s. Already at the end of the 1920s, Tuwim preached radical slogans, which often aroused great emotions – like antymilitarian, pacifist appeal from a loud poem To a simple man:

Fuck a rifle about street pavement!
Yours is blood, and their kerosene

The bourgeois is definitely rejected in the works from this period, mass culture, Alienation from the surrounding world is deepening, existential anxiety, The poet is more and more clearly interested in nature, cognitive possibilities of the word, language (Tuwim becomes a virtuoso in using word and image), A classic tradition of Polish and world poetry. The satirical ball at the Opera has become a great artistic achievement, The grotesque picture of the political elites of interwar Poland, also bringing premonitions of the upcoming disaster. This satirical poem combines the features of a pamphlet directed against sanation (Censorship did not allow it to be published, Before the war, he was distributed in write -offs) and environmental satires with the vision of the upcoming extermination of the world. The song exposes the socio-moral contrasts of interwar Poland. Is distinguished by the huge qualities of the poetic language, Word -forming invention, the ability to use different types of speech, Rhythmic-sound instrumentation championship.

The last of Julian Tuwim's outstanding works was written during the war, A very extensive poem Polish flowers. Construction axis of this song, different from most Polish poems written during the war, they are memories – Each species of flowers recalls childhood events, youth, Remembered characters and situations, clearly idealized (Although not without critical accents) homeland. The song is not the most important essential thread, It has a digressive structure, np. Such a picture accompanies the memory of the scent of lilac:

And Polish without how it smelled in May
In Aleje and in the Saxon Garden,
In baskets on the corner and on the tram,
When the Warsaw people returned from Bielany!
The chauffeur before he had his taxi,
Slosers carrying on a picnic.

Polish flowers are a continuation of the greatest traditions of Polish poetry, Mr. Tadeusz and Słowacki's poems, They are like a summary of the interwar period – Kazimierz Wyka called them a bouquet from the whole era.
