Abstracts

EN

The article constitutes a part of my doctoral thesis, in which I study the subject of curiosity cabinets in nineteenth century literature and culture. I analyse the motif of curiosity shop (as a variety of cabinet) in Prus’s Lalka and Dickens’s The Old Curiosity Shop. This article attempts to show how the concept of the world built on the interpretation of peculiar expressions of reality influences narration, protagonists’ construction and text architecture.
