Stefan Zeromski was treated as a living legend during his lifetime and surrounded by incredible respect. He was dubbed the patron saint of the generation of Polish intelligentsia that built the pre-war, independent Polish Republic. However, the biography of the author of "Ludzie domu domuchni" (Homeless People) has been repeatedly falsified, not only by biographers from the communist era and censorship, but also by his closest relatives. Iwona Kienzler's latest publication is devoted to Żeromski's titular sins, his turbulent youth, full of romantic adventures, and the complexities of life in marriage and cohabitation. The author also explores the writer's literary legacy and the circumstances surrounding the creation of his subsequent works. The book's goal is not to shake the nation's conscience from the monument erected in his honor by past generations, but rather to reveal his human face.
