Abstracts

EN
The subject of the analysis in the article are various types of resignation described by Eliza Orzeszkowa in her late historical novel "Czciciel potęgi" ["The worshipper of power"] (1889) which has been barely researched. The examples of the protagonists’ existential situations and intellectually-moral choices show causes and effects (moral, practical, economic) of decisions about drifting away from the original outlook on life, dreams and beliefs. The literary text is compared to Orzeszkowa’s opinions on resignation found in her epistolary legacy.
