Tomasz Stali\u0144ski was the pen name of Stefan Kisielewski, writer, composer and columnist of “Tygodnik Powszechny”. After March 1968 he was banned from publishing in communist Poland and brought out his political novels in exile, at Jerzy Giedroyc’s Instytut Literacki in Paris. Under the Stali\u0144ski name it published “Widziane z g\u00f3ry” (1967), “Cienie w pieczarze” (1971), “Romans zimowy” (1972), “\u015aledztwo” (1974) and “Ludzie w akwarium” (1976).<\/p>\n
This is the first edition of “Ludzie w akwarium”, issued in 1976 as volume 263 of the “Biblioteka Kultury” series. On the title page the author states that all characters and events are invented and only the quotations from the Warsaw press are real. In Poland the novel circulated underground: in 1981 it was reprinted by the clandestine publisher “Suplement” in Szczecin.<\/p>\n
