Warszawa i bunt. Studium postrzegania II Rzeczpospolitej w książce Zamach Stanu autorstwa Curzio Malapartego

The subject of the following work is to look at the way of perceiving the Second Polish Republic present in the work of the Italian author, publicist and diplomat: Curzio Malaparte. On the pages of his book Coup d'état, he described, among others: ‑ the Battle of Warsaw. With reference to this event and the narrative led by the Italian, in the article I focused on discussing the theoretical framework that is strongly related to the process of presenting the Second Polish Republic, in a way that marginalizes it and presents it as a peripheral country, on a bipolar west‑east axis, as well as with perspectives of the fascist understanding of the state. The text further presents the source and author, followed by an analysis of selected fragments of the book Coup d'etat, relating to how Curzio Malaparte wrote about the Second Polish Republic, including it among the countries of the cultural East, distinguished from the West, which is a model and point of reference.
