Jerzy Broszkiewicz (6 June 1922 – 4 October 1993) was a Polish prose writer, playwright, essayist, and publicist. He is best known for his dramas and young-adult literature. The young-adult literature usually took the form of historical or science-fiction novels. The dramas were performed in Poland and abroad, and his works were translated into at least 20 languages, with total print runs exceeding a million copies. He wrote plays for theatre, radio, and television, as well as screenplays, essays, and critical writings on music and culture. His most acclaimed works include Kształt miłości (1950–51), a novelized biography of Frédéric Chopin, and Wielka, większa i największa (1960), a widely-read youth novel that was adapted into a feature film and was included in Polish school curricula during the People's Republic period. He was active in editorial work for the cultural periodicals Nowa Kultura and Przegląd Kulturalny. He received multiple state awards and honors, including the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.

Life He was born on 6 June 1922 in Lwów in the Second Polish Republic (now Lviv, Ukraine); his father, Adam, was an officer in the Polish Armed Forces. From 1934, he was a student at the Jan Długosz Gymnasium in Lviv. In 1940, after finishing the Gymnasium and music school, he entered the Lviv National Music Academy. During the German occupation of Lviv from 1941 to 1944, he participated in underground cultural activities such as literary evenings and concerts, and was a louse-feeder at the Lviv Institute for Typhus and Virus Research under Professor Rudolf Weigl. In 1944, he married Ewa Łomnicka and moved to Kraków, where he lived in the famous Literary House at 22 Krupnicza Street. For some time, he studied at the Academy of Music, described by Stanisław Frycie and Tadeusz Kwiatkowski as a "promising pianist", but he discontinued his studies in 1945. From that year, he was a member of the Polish Writers' Union (from 1957 to 1958, he was vice-president of the main board; from 1973, he was a member of the Kraków branch board of the union, and in 1975, its vice-president). From 1945 to 1947, he collaborated with the editorial office of…Citește mai mult

Private life Broszkiewicz lived in Kraków's Krowodrza district. He was married to psychiatrist Ewa Broszkiewicz (1920–2000), daughter of mathematician Antoni Łomnicki. They had a daughter, Irena Broszkiewicz (1954–2021), a mathematician associated with Piotr Ferster, director of the literary cabaret Piwnica pod Baranami. Irena was her father's inspiration for the character Ika in the novel Wielka, większa i największa (Great, Greater, and Greatest). Broszkiewicz suffered from schizophrenia. He died on 4 October 1993 in Kraków and is interred in the aleja zasłuźonych at the Rakowicki Cemetery (section LXIX, row B-2-2).

Literary work His literary work was diverse, and Frycie described Broszkiewicz as "an exceptionally talented and versatile writer". In 1945, he made his debut simultaneously as a music critic and as a writer with the short story Monika, published in the weekly Odrodzenie (No. 18). His book debut was the novel Oczekiwanie (Expectation) set in the ghetto, for which he received the Kraków Land Award. Another significant work was the repeatedly reissued novel Kształt miłości (The Shape of Love) about Frédéric Chopin, for which he received the State Award of the 2nd degree in 1951. In 1971, the novel Długo i szczęśliwie (Happily Ever After) won the Association of Trade Unions Award. Kluska, Kefir i Tutejszy (Dumpling, Kefir, and the Local) was distinguished at the IV Premio Europeo in 1968. He authored 14 novels for young readers, debuting with Opowieść olimpijska (Olympic Tale) in 1948, although most of his novels for younger audiences were written in the 1960s and 1970s. His earlier works in this genre were often biographical. Many of his later works belong to the science fiction genre, which Frycie considered the most significant part of his oeuvre. In particular, Wielka, większa i największa (The Great, Greater, and…Citește mai mult
