A biography of Eligiusz Niewiadomski, a figure with a decidedly negative legacy in Polish history - known primarily for his assassination attempt on the first president of the reborn Polish Republic. The author outlines the broad historical and political context within which he places his protagonist. In addition to reconstructing his life story, the author thoroughly analyzes Niewiadomski's personality, his worldview, and the influence of the socio-political situation and atmosphere of the time on the motivations of the book's protagonist. He also reconstructs and analyzes the attitudes of various political parties toward the murder of Gabriel Narutowicz and the killer—even after the death penalty was carried out.
