This essay intends to signal some most important examples of significant and meaningful repetitions in Gombrowicz's works - from 'Ferdydurke' through to 'Kosmos' - whilst, secondly, it also seeks to give evidence to that the repetition-related tricks from various tiers of the individual literary pieces get linked with each other in a well-thought-out, purposeful manner. In its first part, the article discusses the role of repetition in Gombrowicz's oeuvre, as Gombrowicz was aware of a philosophical meaning of the motif. He has himself pointed out to 'Slub' (The Marriage) as a play where repetition is an important element. Actually, the same is true for his 'Operetka' (Operette). In 'Dziennik' (The Journal), one finds a remark on Kierkegaard's repetition. Apart from the latter, for Gombrowicz, the most important philosophical contexts would include Nietzsche's 'eternal return' and its philosophical consequences in Heidegger; Bergson's concept of time; and, Freudian - or, in broader terms, psychoanalytical - approach of repetition as neurotic, compulsive behaviours where sexual drive and death drive find their expression. Repetition (re)appears amassed at any and all tiers of Gombrowicz's works: from doubling the sounds and syllables, through to repeated words and phrases, 'repetition' as a fiction theme or, at last, a meta-literary theme. In the prose, repetitions are strictly connected with the issue of mimesis. Repetitions appear in their rhetorical function in 'Trans-Atlantyk', whereas Gombrowicz would several times use his 'intensifying through repeating' method in The Journal. The role of repetition is essential as part of the intrigue or plot in all his novels, its significance growing gradually. In its second section, the essay focuses on interpreting 'Kosmos' from the standpoint of repetition as a category.

This interpretation of Brunon Schulz's 'Homeland' (1938), rejects the contention, presented by Jacek Scholz, that the city evoked in that short story is Vienna. Apart from refuting Scholz's argument, this article tries to demonstrate that the actual prototype of the unnamed city from the 'Homeland' was Czerniowce, the historical capital of Bukovina with its unique cultural mosaic of ethnic Germans (Austrians), Ukrainians, Jews, Poles and Romanians. An closer examination of the various layers of Schulz's short story suggests that the problem of its links with the non­fictional reality of any particular location is after all not that important. At heart, the story addresses the issue of 'homeland' conceived as a spiritual centre which the main character can reach by returning to one's essential self. This journey also takes him on the road to death. The contexts for this interpretation are provided by Schulz's late work, German literature, and the Jewish tradition.
