Jacek Bocheński

Jacek Bocheński (; born 29 July 1926) is a Polish writer, author of ''The Roman Trilogy'' (''Divine Julius, Naso the Poet, Tiberius Caesar''); an opposition figure in communist Poland and a leading figure in Polish literary circles.

His literary work is characterized by frequent references to Roman Antiquity and its projection on the moral and political dilemmas of the modern world. In addition, it raises issues such as opposition to authoritarian power, and the place of the individual in the modern world and in history. The style of his prose, noted for its beauty, is often experimental, involving the blending of narrative fiction and essay, indirect speech, blurring of identities, and frequent switching between times and places of action, lending it to multiple levels of interpretation.
