Abstracts

EN
The essay focuses on relationship between works of Stanislaw Przybyszewski and content as well as aesthetics of the fantastic. At the beginning, author analyses the fragment of transposition of Chopin's music by Przybyszewski, in which there are some allusions to Horla by Guy de Maupassant. The protagonist in Horla is, in Przybyszewski's opinion, the symbol of the secret of artistic creativity and, at the same time, the figure which incorporates the most important categories of the fantastic motives in literature: unconsciousness, supernatural phaenomena, awe and topics exemplifying the dephts of human psyche (bloodiness, inclination to evil, sexuality).
