Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz
Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (born August 10, 1898 in Okuniew , † September 20, 1939 in Kuty ) was a Polish journalist and writer.
After attending secondary school in Vilnius, Mostowicz studied law in Kiev from 1915 and was a member of the conspiratorial Polska Organizacja Wojskowa . After the First World War he went to Poland and settled in Warsaw. In 1918 he joined the Polish army as a volunteer and took part in the Polish-Soviet war . After his return to Warsaw in 1922 he worked for the newspaper, first as a typesetter, then as a proofreader and finally as a journalist.
In 1925 he became a reporter for the Christian Democratic daily Rzeczpospolita . At the same time he also began his writing. His sharp criticism of Józef Piłsudski led to his being kidnapped in the street in 1927, beaten up and thrown into a clay pit. He then gave up his journalistic work and devoted himself entirely to his literary work.
After sketches and stories that appeared in magazines from 1925, he completed his first novel Ostatnia brygada (The Last Brigade) in 1929 , which was published in 1930 in the Katowice newspaper Polonia . He became known with the novel Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy (1932), after which he published two novels every year, a total of seventeen. Several of his works were filmed for the cinema and later also for television. When the Second World War broke out, he organized the defense of the town of Kuty on the Polish eastern border and fell through a bullet from the Soviet invading forces .
His novel Znachor was made into a film in the year of publication, and in 1982 another film adaptation was published with Der Kurpfuscher .
