Michał Choromański (9 June O.S. 1904 – 14 May 1972), was a Polish writer, playwright and translator. He is best known for his novelistic studies of psychological states.[1]

Early life and education

Michał Choromański was born in Yelisavetgrad (now Kropyvnytskyi), into a Polish doctor's family as the son of biologist Konstanty Choromański, who died during World War I.[1] He spent his childhood and youth in Yelisavetgrad and attended the high school and the Technical School of Economics.[2][3] Experiencing chaos and the horrors of revolutionary Russia, Choromański moved from Yelisavetgrad first to Warsaw and then to Podhale in 1924.[4][5] He studied pedagogy and psychology and as a 17-year-old started working as a tutor, paramedic and hospital administrator, drawing teacher and literary director of a workers' club and wrote reviews for a suburban newspaper.[3][2] He was also interested in painting and created portraits.[6] He fell ill from ankle tuberculosis, caused by stress and misery, but was able to avoid leg amputation and was treated in spas.[7][2]
