How to take ‘opportunities’ – a brief look into editions of Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski’s books

Aleksandra Drozd

Abstract


Good editor is invaluable for the writer – particularly when the author is a controversial celebrity used to living like a lord and not all of his books are really noteworthy. Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski also was looking for wealthy backer. Tactics that he practiced seems to be surprising even today. He gave more than one title to some of his novels, divided some books into parts, re-used names and motives and prepared books to order. He did not have anything against writing for owner of chocolate factory. In this article I characterize different methods of printing and distributing even not very good books. I also analyze editor’s influence on the content and artwork of the publication.

Keywords


Ossendowski, inter-war publishing houses, publishing series, reading
