Walery Łoziński
Walery Łoziński (born January 15, 1837 in Mikołajów , † January 30, 1861 in Lemberg , both Galicia , now in Ukraine ) was a Polish writer.
Life
Walery Łoziński came from an impoverished family of the Polish land nobility ( Szlachta ). His father was a minor imperial-royal official . Because of an insignificant incident with Ukrainian classmates, he was expelled from high school and could neither study nor pursue the career of an official. He went to Lviv, where he soon gained access to journalistic and literary circles. In the first phase of his literary work, Łoziński was still completely attached to the tradition of Polish Romanticism . Later he took up the tradition of Polish liberation literature, where he also discovered his interest in the fate of the rural population.
At the beginning of January 1861 he dueled a journalist colleague and was seriously wounded. He died a few weeks later as a result of his injury. Walery Łoziński is buried in Lviv in the Lychakiv Cemetery.
