Was a Polish literary figure, philosopher, translator, alpinist and nationalist whose best-known work is the science fiction epic Trylogia Ksiezycowa (The Lunar Trilogy) written between 1901 and 1911.The earliest publication bearing Jerzy Zulawski's name was also written in Berne. Dispatched to a Kraków publishing concern, the slim collection entitled Na strunach duszy (On the Strings of the Soul) was offered to the public in 1895. While a volume of Polish-language poetry in German-speaking Berne did not make much of an impact, the young author did receive moderate praise from the few Polish press organs that reviewed it. A decade later, at the height of Zulawski's brief fame, it came to be viewed as an experimental work, not truly representative of his real ability.
