Mongrelism.

(1st ed.). Rome - London 1947. ed. by K. Breiter. 8, pp. 88, [1 ], wraps original broch. preserved, opr. scp. Introligat., gilt lettering on front and spine.
Unpaginated, soiled covers of the booklet. Good condition. A collection of columns dealing with the behavior of Poles in exile. It aroused such a huge controversy that when the author published Kundlizm w Rzymie, several émigré magazines broke off cooperation with him in protest. Because Wańkowicz called mongrelism our national trait, which is the opposite of dignity and nobility. For these journalistic texts are not only an observation of emigrant life in a foreign country it is a fervent and open criticism of compatriots trying to take shortcuts and build their own happiness on others' harm.
