This article is concerned with the aesthetic differentiation of the landscape in the novel Agaj-Han by Z. Krasiński. The novel constitutes a literary experiment, in which the author presents dilemmas of an individual who wants to achieve freedom. Agaj-Han can be perceived as a combination of a historical novel and romance enriched with the element of the Gothic genre, which is characterized by the original and colourful exoticism, acoustical effects and a very sensual visualization of the landscape inspired by Byron.
