Mieczysław Marian Smolarski (April 6, 1888, Kraków – January 21, 1967, Warsaw) was a Polish writer and poet, whose works included examples of the utopian novel in Polish science fiction, two of which were allegedly plagiarized by Aldous Huxley for his landmark novel Brave New World.
In 1918 he moved permanently to Warsaw, where he became deputy head of Bureau for the Council of State of the Kingdom of Poland, whose creation was contemplated in the later years of WWI.
His books Miasto światłości (The City of Light, 1924) and Podróż poślubna pana Hamiltona (The Honeymoon Trip of Mr. Hamilton, 1928) were allegedly plagiarized by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, published in 1932.
His son Bohdan (1924–1943) was a soldier of the anti-Nazi underground Armia Krajowa (Home Army), serving in the "VIII Strike Personnel Battalion" of Lieutenant Zbigniew Czarnocki "Czarny".
He was among 24 underground fighters who were betrayed by an inhabitant of the village of Stryjówka and perished nearby in an unequal fight with the German Army and Military Police, on September 20, 1943.
(Ensign) Bohdan Smolarski "Krzysztof" appears among the other names of the fallen fighters, on a plaque erected there after the war, affixed to a tall obelisk surrounded by young trees, fenced and well maintained.
