The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma

by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz · first published 1932

The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma (Polish: Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy) is a political novel by the Polish author Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. It was serialized in the newspaper ABC from 1 January to 26 May 1931 before being published in book form by Towarzystwo Wydawnicze Rój in 1932. Having become his first major literary success with immediate material rewards, it prompted Dołęga-Mostowicz to write and publish roughly two books per year (in total, he wrote 17 novels). The book, very popular already in the interwar period, was made into a 1956 film with Adolf Dymsza in the title role, then into a 1980 television miniseries starring Roman Wilhelmi, and into a 2002 film starring Cezary Pazura.
