Abstract

The article analyzes the philosophical and aesthetic problems of Jerzy Stempowski's essay «Mr Jowialski and His Heirs» in the cultural and historical context of the Interwar period. The author defines the place of the considered essay in Stempowski’s works. The article also reveals that there are important issue-based connections with other samples of the writer's essayism, the conceptual idea of which is the comprehension of existence through the library. The author explains the mechanism of «misreading» in Fredro's comedy «Mr Jowialski», which involves making distant analogies between Mr Jowialski, various images from literary classics (the heroes from the novel «A rebóurs» by Huysmans and Shakespeare’s drama «The Tempest») and historical figures (emperor Caligula). The latter analogy reveals сommon ground between Stempowski's essay and Camus's later drama «Caligula». It is concluded that Stempowski interprets Fredro's comedy «Mr Jowialski» as an existential-eschatological drama of the absurd, which, of course, differed from the author's intention of writing a comedy.
杰西·斯坦波夫斯基与亚历山大·弗雷德罗喜剧《乔瓦尔斯基先生》的存在主义末世论解读
本文在两次世界大战之间的文化和历史背景下,分析了耶日·斯坦波夫斯基的文章《约维亚尔斯基先生和他的继承人》的哲学和美学问题。作者界定了这篇文章在斯坦波夫斯基作品中的地位。文章还揭示了与作家散文的其他样本之间存在着重要的基于问题的联系,其概念理念是通过图书馆对存在的理解。作者解释了Fredro的喜剧“Jowialski先生”中的“误读”机制,其中包括将Jowialski先生,文学经典中的各种形象(Huysmans的小说“A rebóurs”中的英雄和莎士比亚的戏剧“暴风雨”)和历史人物(皇帝Caligula)进行遥远的类比。后一种类比揭示了斯坦波夫斯基的文章与加缪后来的戏剧《卡利古拉》之间的共同点。结论是,斯坦波夫斯基将弗雷德罗的喜剧《乔瓦尔斯基先生》解读为一部荒诞的存在主义末世论戏剧,这当然与作者创作喜剧的意图不同。
