Józef Bohdan Dziekoński

Józef Bohdan Dziekoński (pseudonym: JZ Sójkowski ; * February 7, 1816 in Warsaw , † June 3, 1855 in Paris ) was a Polish writer.

The son of the writer and educator Tomasz Dziekoński studied medicine in Königsberg, Dorpat and Moscow. In 1840 he returned to Warsaw, where he joined the “Warsaw Bohème” ( Cyganeria Warszawska ). He was friends with Roman Zmorski , August Wilkoński ; Seweryn Sierpiński and Włodzimierz Wolski and with the latter published the magazine Jaskułka in 1843 .

In 1846 he escaped arrest by fleeing to Paris. There he joined the messianic religious leader Andrzej Towiański . He took part in the preparations for the establishment of a Polish Legion by Adam Mickiewicz in Italy. Since he was refused to leave for Italy, he went to Germany and took part in the Baden Revolution in 1849 . He later lived in Switzerland and again in Paris, earning his living as a painter and engraver.

In addition to articles on medicine and chemistry, Dziekoński wrote stories and the novel Sędziwoj , which are reminiscent of works by ETA Hoffmann , and a history of Polish emigration. In 1855 he died of tuberculosis in Paris.
