From Kombornia to Gręboszów. Stanisław Pigoń and Jakub Bojko

Abstract

The paper is an attempt at adding several remarks and comments to what is already known about the artistic profile, as well as writing and research techniques applied by Stanisław Pigoń. Its basic idea is to outline certain literary similarities between the author of Z Komborni w świat and Jakub Bojko, a generation older writer and a man of the people from Gręboszów, a village in the Małopolska region. Starting with more or less explicit data in Stanisław Pigoń’s works, the author of the paper observed some genological, ideological and formal-linguistic levels in terms of those literary parallels in the works of both writers. According to the author, the collected data, as well as conclusions reached on their basis, could prove contributive to a better recognition of Stanisław Pigoń’s artistic profile and achievements. Moreover, it may be a starting point to an urgent and comprehensive study into the idiolects of both Stanisław Pigoń and Jakub Bojko, his spiritual ancestor.
