News From The Author

-
Hello! I haven't added here any new posts for over two years now, but I see you still read my story, and that's absolutely insane! Thank you! I'm writing this post to give you some news that you maybe don't know about. Well, I have published two books since I stopped publishing here - Once Upon a Time There Were Two Poetry Books... & Laura's Diary - My Awesome Life . And I got a new blog now.

Note No. 53. Visiting Paestum

-
9 th September 1820   Alright! I have just gotten a letter from my brother, you know… The king… He heard that so many people crave seeing another act of my drama so… Ok! I can make dreams come true! I will sit down by the table soon and write another part. I think I already have an idea for it… Let’s make it a Pamphlet for Men. It is going to be about 4 kinds of men – Don Juan (a selfish seducer and heartbreaker), Tristan (a man who cares about his lover too), Jesus from Nazareth (it may sound not proper, but it is all about this kind of love that cares more about giving than taking) and bonus from me – Romeo (a BOY who makes everything end faster than it starts).

Autokreacja artysty na podstawie listów Stanisława Wyspiańskiego Stanisław Wyspiański jest artystą totalnym. Tak dziś o nim mówimy. Co on jednak o sobie myślał? Co go interesowało najbardziej za życia? Na te pytania pomoże nam odpowiedzieć jego korespondencja do malarza Józefa Mehoffera i do przyjaciela Lucjana Rydla. Już pierwszy list do Mehoffera (1888 r.) pełen jest zachwytu nad różnymi zabytkami gotyckimi i renesansowymi. Opisuje i rysuje pałacyki, zameczki, rzeźby i kościoły bardzo dokładnie. Na razie brak większych wynurzeń o charakterze osobistym. Tylko wyraża chęć spotkania z adresatem i dalszego zwiedzania zabytków. Trzeci z kolei list z Krakowa, czyli z domu już, jest ciekawszy. Nie tylko dziewiętnastoletni Wyspiański daje sprawozdanie z podróży, także wyznaje, że widział piękną dziewczynę na stacji, która niestety pojechała w inną niż on stronę. Oczywiście najbardziej jednak skupia się na opisach sztuki i architektury. Był także w Muzeum Narodowym i oglądał nowe warszawskie ...
