Stefan Żeromski

Stefan Żeromski (1864-1925), born in Strawczyn, near Kielce, into an impoverished noble family, lost his parents early and contracted tuberculosis. Without a baccalauréat, he attended the Veterinary Institute in Warsaw for two years, which he left for lack of money, and became a tutor in noble households, notably in Nałęczów. Leaving in 1892 for Switzerland, he was for several years an assistant librarian at the Polish National Museum in Rapperswil. A founder of the Polish PEN Club in 1924, housed in the Royal Castle in Warsaw, he died in the capital on 20 November 1925.
