Наброски пером. Франция 1940-1944

The diary of the four war years spent by the author in France became one of the main Polish books of the 20th century. In it, Bobkowski recorded the development of military events and diagnosed the European crisis in a catastrophic way, revealing a fair amount of insight.
Andrzej Bobkowski (1913–1961) — writer, publicist. In March 1939 he left for Paris with his wife. He worked at an arms factory near Paris and was evacuated with him to the south of France. In 1940 he returned to Paris and continued to work at the factory. During the German occupation, he took part in the resistance movement. After the war, he was one of the most important contributors to the magazine "Culture", the main printed organ of the Polish emigration, which contributed to changes in Poland. It was under the auspices of "Culture" that his military diary was published. In 1948, Bobkovsky left for Guatemala and opened an aircraft model shop there. He is the author of several books, including a rich epistolary.
The book has a foreword by prof. Maciej Urbanowski and Bobkowski's obituary written by Józef Czapski.
