Jerzy Å»uÅ‚awski (Polish: [ˈjÉ›Ê É¨ Ê uˈwafski]; 14 July 1874 â€" 9

August 1915) was a Polish literary figure, philosopher, translator,

alpinist and nationalist whose best-known work is the science-fiction

epic, Trylogia Księżycowa (The Lunar Trilogy), written between 1901

and 1911.In a twenty-year writing career, from his first book of poems

in 1895, at the age of 21, to his final World War I dispatches in

1915, Jerzy Å»uÅ‚awski created an impressive body of workâ€"seven

volumes of poetry, three collections of literary criticism, numerous

cultural and philosophical essays, ten plays and five novels. He was

considered an important and influential intellectual figure in the

early years of the 20th century, but a century later, the only

creation which has remained in print and assured him literary

immortality is The Lunar Trilogy. StanisÅ‚aw Lem (1921â€"2006),

renowned as the "most widely read science-fiction writer in the

world",[1] contributed an introduction to the 1956 and 1975 editions

of the Trilogy's initial volume, Na Srebrnym Globie (On the Silver

Globe), crediting Żuławski's words with inspiring him to become "a

writer of the fantastic" and describing the time he spent reading The

Lunar Trilogy as "one of the most fascinating and life-changing

experiences" of his youth.Jerzy Żuławski was born into a strongly

nationalistic Polish household in the village of Lipowiec, near

Rzeszów, a major city in the region of Galicia. In 1772, Galicia,

with its capital Lwów, was separated from Poland in the First

Partition and, for the next 146 years, became part of the Austrian

Habsburg Empire. Eleven years before Jerzy's birth, his father

Kazimerz Żuławski, a country squire, had participated in the 1863

January Uprising against Czarist rule in the Russian portion of

partitioned Poland. Kazimierz had a great influence on young Jerzy's

life and Jerzy shared many of the views his father expressed.Educated

at good schools in Limanowa, Bochnia and Kraków, Żuławski was in

Switzerland from 1892 to 1899, where he studied first at the

University of Zürich and then pursued his doctorate of philosophy at

the University of Bern under the guidance of the eminent positivist

Richard Avenarius (1843â€"1896), who died before the completion of

Żuławski's dissertation on Spinoza, Das Problem der Kausalität bei

Spinoza, which was published in Bern in 1899. Żuławski subsequently

revised and expanded his German-language text into a 1902 Polish

popular-philosophy book, Bededykt Spinoza, Człowiek i Dzieło

(Benedict Spinoza, Man and Achievement). He also wrote about, and

provided the first Polish translations of some of the works of

Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Eduard von Hartmann as well as the

original Hebrew Old Testament and Talmud and the writings of a number

of Eastern philosophers.
