Stanisław Przybyszewski (Polish pronunciation: [staˈɲiswaf
pʂɨbɨˈʂɛfskʲi]; 7 May 1868 â€" 23 November 1927) was a Polish
novelist, dramatist, and poet of the decadent naturalistic school. His
drama is associated with the Symbolist movement. He wrote both in
German and in Polish.[1]Stanisław Feliks Przybyszewski was born in
Lohdorf (Å ojewo) near Kruschwitz (Kruszwica) in Prussia. The son of a
local teacher, Józef Przybyszewski, Stanisław attended a German
gymnasium in Thorn (Toruń),[1] graduating in 1889. He left for
Berlin, where he first studied architecture and then medicine. It was
there that he became fascinated by the philosophy of Nietzsche, began
referring to himself as a Satanist and immersed himself into the
bohemian life of the city.In Berlin he lived with, but did not marry,
Martha Foerder. They had had three children together; two before he
left her to marry Dagny Juel on 18 August 1893 and one during his
marriage to Dagny. From 1893 to 1898 he lived with Dagny (formerly a
model for Edvard Munch), sometimes in Berlin and at others in Dagny's
hometown of Kongsvinger, in Norway. In Berlin they met other artists
at Zum schwarzen Ferkel.In 1896 he was arrested in Berlin on suspicion
of the murder of his common-law wife Martha, but released after it was
determined that she had died of carbon monoxide poisoning. After
Martha's death the children were sent to different foster homes. In
the autumn of 1898, he and Dagny moved to Krakau (Kraków), in
Austro-Hungarian Galicia, where he set himself up as the leader of a
group of revolutionary young artists and as editor of their mouthpiece
Życie (Life). He remained a fervent apostle of industrialism and
self-expression.
