| Abstract [eng] |
Maria Tyszkiewiczówna was the daughter of Zofia Tyszkiewicz nee Horwatt and Józef Tyszkiewicz, the owner of Palanga and Kretinga. She was interested in exact sciences, philosophy, religion, sports. From the late 1980s until the outbreak of World War II she conducted philanthropic and educational activities in Kretinga, Palanga and Vilnius. In 1941, she was arrested by the NKVD and sent to a labor camp in Krasnoyarsk Krai, where she died. Tyszkiewiczówna was also writer, the author of at least one short story and one novel. She made her debut in the Lithuanian Catholic monthly Tėvynės Sargas wit a story “Viskantas” (1896). In 1902, she published in Warsaw a novel Spójnik, the action of which takes place in Vilnius at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. She personally knew the Lithuanian priests and writers Juozas Tumas- Vaižgantas and Maironis. In 1904, Maironis made her the prototype of Celina, the main character of his only poem written in Polish From Biruta. The aristocrat Celina became a symbol of conversion to Lithuanianness, a new incarnation of Mickiewicz’s Grażyna. |
