Julian Tuwim

Japanese: トゥビム（英語表記）Julian Tuwim

1894‐1953
Polish poet. Born in Lodz to a Jewish banker. A member of the influential group of poets known as Skamander after World War I, he wrote about urban customs in everyday language in his early days, but he gradually became disillusioned with society and published satirical poems such as Ball at the Opera House (1936). His passion for language exploration bore fruit in works such as the unique Green (1936). He also wrote a major work, Flowers of Poland (1949), during his time in exile in France and America. His work, including translating Russian literature and compiling anthologies of poems, is also not to be missed.

1894‐1953
ポーランドの詩人。ウッチのユダヤ人銀行員の家に生まれた。第1次世界大戦後の有力な詩人グループ〈スカマンデルSkamander〉に属し，初期には日常語を駆使して都市の風俗を歌ったが，社会への幻滅をしだいに強め，風刺詩《歌劇場の舞踏会》(1936)などを発表。また言語探求の情熱は，異色作品《緑》(1936)などに結実した。フランス，アメリカへの亡命中の大作《ポーランドの花》(1949)もある。ロシア文学の翻訳，詞華集の編纂などのしごとも見のがせない。
