The paper analyses Anthony Browne’s illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Browne’s images, rooted in and indebted to surrealist painting (especially the art of René Magritte), show manifold relations between the formal qualities and social questions of surrealism and Carroll’s novel. In his illustrations Browne employs numerous optical games and illusions to undermine the traditions of the gaze and visual perception, and thus, in a way, he equates the visual methods of surrealism with those used by Carroll in Alice.

Artykuł analizuje ilustracje Anthony’ego Browne’a do powieści Lewisa Carrolla Alicja w Krainie Czarów. Browne, bardzo silnie nawiązując do malarstwa nurtu surrealizmu (zwłaszcza do twórczości René Magritte’a), wydobywa z powieści Carrolla jej surrealistyczny charakter. Poczynając od wykorzystania złudzeń i gier optycznych, aż po dogłębną analizę pułapek związanych w tradycjami postrzegania wzrokowego, ukazuje powinowactwo pomiędzy Alicją i tym nurtem w sztuce zarówno w warstwie formalnej (językowej), jak i społecznej (swoboda działania jednostki, relacje międzyludzkie).

The article undertakes to interpret the collection of short stories titled Historie maniaków by Roman Jaworski using the category of ugliness. So far, this work has been analysed through a different aesthetic category, namely the grotesque, while the author himself drew attention in the discussed collection of short stories to ugliness and recommended that it should be chosen as the principle perspective. The analysis focuses on the impact of the ugliness category on the shaping of elements of the world presented in the work: the creation of the characters and their corporeality, settings, as well as the very composition of the collection and the construction of the language used by the author. The paper finishes with an attempt to interpret Historie maniaków using contemporary humanistic theories, which consider the category of ugliness as a positive value.
