Varsovie, Pologne: maison où vécurent, en 1861, Apollo Nalecz Korzeniowski et son fils Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski (Joseph Conrad), puis de 1924 à 1929 Karol Maciej Szymanowski, dans Nowy Swiat
Karol Maciej Szymanowski, né à Tymoshivka (alors en Russie, aujourd'hui en Ukraine) le 6 octobre 1882 et mort à Lausanne (Suisse) le 28 mars 1937, est un compositeur et pianiste polonais.
Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski;3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-born English novelist.
Joseph Conrad was born in Berdichev (Polish: Berdyczów), Kiev Governorate (now Berdychiv, Ukraine), into a highly patriotic, noble (yet slightly impoverished) Polish family that bore the Nałęcz coat-of-arms. His father, Apollo Korzeniowski, was a writer of politically themed plays and a translator of Alfred de Vigny and Victor Hugo from French and of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare from English. He encouraged his son Konrad to read widely in Polish and French.
In 1861 the elder Korzeniowski was arrested by Imperial Russian authorities in Warsaw, Poland, for helping organize what would become the January Uprising of 1863–64, and was exiled to Vologda, a city some 300 miles (480 km) north of Moscow.
His wife, Ewelina[6] Korzeniowska (née Bobrowska), and four-year-old son followed him into exile. Because of Ewelina's poor health, Apollo was allowed in 1865 to move to Chernigov, Chernigov Governorate, where within a few weeks Ewelina died of tuberculosis. Apollo died four years later in Kraków, leaving Conrad orphaned at the age of eleven. (Wikipedia)
