John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin , PolandAbstract
Truth is the key value in both the journalistic and the artistic prose of Józef Mackiewicz (1902–1985), one of the most outstanding Polish writers of the 20th century and a classic of the anti-communist thought. The author of the article shows the paths Mackiewicz follows in his attempts to approach objective (natural) truth. The paths in question include testimony, experience, history, and literature. Each of the paths is presented in the article in detail and illustrated with examples drawn from the writer’s works.
