Cenzura PRL wobec „Hańby domowej” Jacka Trznadla (1989–1990)

The aim of the article is to present the scale and nature of censor’s interference in Hańba domowa by Jacek Trznadel and the reconstruction of the long way the author and his publisher were forced to go trying to publish the book without censor’s crossings-out. The book was first published in 1986 by the Literary Institute in Paris (the Biblioteka Kultury series), and several months later by the underground publishing house called „NOWA”. The book had become known even before it was published because of the interview, triggering very conflicting emotions, with Zbigniew Herbert conducted by Trznadel in 1985, which was then included in the publication. In Poland, the book was legally published for the first time right after closing down the Main Office for the Control of the Publications and Public Performances in June 1990. Before the collection of the interviews was legally published, the publisher – “Test” from Lublin – was forced to sue the Regional Office for the Control of the Publications and Public Performances in Lublin and the Main Office for the Control of the Publications and Public Performances in Warsaw, referring to the Supreme Administrative Court.
