Władysław St. Reymont - our school patron, for lovers of the English language



This great writer was born in a village near Radomsko, Kobiele Wielkie on May 7, 1867.
His parents were not wealthy, and his early life was difficult and was full of a variety of events.
At school, Reymont had problems with learning, achieved poor results. He did not receive a good education. His parents decided that he should learn a trade. They sent him to study tailoring. Also here, it did not go well, and there was only an apprentice. He still could not find their own way.
Reymont as a young man, he discovered his passion for art, literature and theater. He wanted to be an actor, but again he failed, then he began to write novels. His first short story, "Work", created in 1891. Two years later, in 1893, he moved to Warsaw, and completely devoted to writing. In the years 1895-1897 he traveled a lot, including Berlin, Brussels, Paris and London.
Reymont wrote novels and short stories, but the greatest success was as a novelist. In the "The Deceiver" and "Ferments" he described his experience from his short acting career. In the "Promised Land", he shows the urban community and capitalists, fighting for profit.
The most outstanding work of Reymont, is a four-volume novel, "The Peasants", for which in 1924 received the Nobel Prize in Literature. In this work, it shows the colorful life of contemporary Polish countryside.
When his health began to deteriorate, he bought the estate "Kopaczkowo" near Września, where he spent the rest of his life.
Reymont died on 5 December 1925.



Primary School No. 4 in Radomsko, which was founded in 1922, from the beginning had as their patron Reymont. In 2012, the school celebrated the 90th anniversary of its existence.
Students and teachers organized a great event calling it "Reymontówka on Bugaj". There were plenty of food and fantastic music of the past. Presentation of "The Wedding Boryna", long stays in the memory of all participants of the event. Middle School which was established in 1999, also has a patron Reymont.

But this great event we write later.
