SKŁADKOWSKI Felicjan S. - STRZĘPY MELDUNKÓW

National historiography has not dealt with the figure of Slawoj Składkowski so far. Syntheses of the history of the Second Polish Republic devote at best a few sentences to the longest-serving prime minister. Rather, the stereotype from Emil Zegadłowicz's "House of Cards", where Slawoj Składkowski is depicted in a caricatured simplification, has become entrenched in the public consciousness... In any case, this stereotype of a dull soup, a maniac of "sławojek" and a cheerful "bullish is" is commonly functioning. Certainly Slawoj was not an intellectual, certainly by becoming prime minister he far exceeded the threshold of incompetence, but nevertheless such assessments and characterizations seem hurtful....

... More than half a century has passed since the first edition of "Strzępy meldunks". We live in a country with a different political system, different borders, different national and social structure. This book is a book of a bygone time, a testimony to an era that closed in 1939.But that is why it is worth reading. To better understand that past time.
