阿纳托尔·斯代恩,Author of poetry and prose, playwright, literary and film critic, screenwriter and translator. Born October 24, 1899 in Warsaw, died October 19, 1968 in Warsaw.At one time, Stern was one of the most notorious writers – not only as a co-creator of Polish futurism, but also as a muckraker and author of broadsides and manifestos.He was born October 24, 1899, as the son of a journalist. He attended school in the capital; Aleksander Wat was his high-school classmate. After graduating high school in 1919, he studied at the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius, but he did not complete his degree. Already at that point, he was absorbed in avant-garde activity.

As a close colleague of Aleksander Wat, he co-published with him the obscene, Dadaist ‘primitives’ bi-monthly’ gga.After 1921, Stern’s avantgarde activity increased even more. It was then that the poet took part in two of the movement’s most important publications or manifestos, The Broadside of the Futurists and Knife in the Gut.At the same time, Stern took an interest in film and cinematography as a critic, but primarily as a screenwriter (among the works he adapted were those of Żeromski and Dołęga-Mostowicz).
