"Jozef Czapski(1896-1993) intertwined his own fascinating biography and testimonies of a turbulent era with art and literature, their practice and emotional experience, like no one among Polish artists.
The now legendary book Tumult and Spectres, which the author himself compiled from his diaries, travel notes and essays written from the mid-1940s to the late 1970s, was published in the Library of "Culture" in 1981..., including portraits of artists both Polish (Norwid, Brzozowski, Lechoń, Haupt) and foreign (Blok, Rozanov, Solzhenitsyn, Maritain, Malraux), but above all is a spiritual self-portrait of the extraordinary man and artist that Czapski himself was.
