graphic design & typesetting of the book
Jerzy Andrzejewski. Contribution to a private biography by Anna Synoradzka-Demadre is a vast [680 pages] (sketch to the) biography of one of the most important polish writers, based on multiple unpublished documents such as private diaries and letters, as well as the literary legacy of the writer.
Jerzy Andrzejewski's life was organised around his literary public proffesion under the circumstances of real socialism with its all implications and private matters, spanning from family issues to extramarital homosexual relations. Anna Synoradzka-Demadre makes a bold yet humble attempt to approach these delicate subjects in a most scientifque of manners, to avoid being accused of exptrapolating the private to the public.
Book is based mostly on quotes and interpretations of books and is enriched with numerous visual materials.
It is the first volume of the Biographical Series of the Political Critique Publishing House.
