In Schulz’s short story “Spring” the interest in stamps and a stamp album, which plays the role of a quasi-mystical Book, equals fascination with distant, exotic realms located outside the familiar. It is also a praise of imagination, since in Rudolf’s hands a collection of stamps was nothing but a mere collection, while in Joseph’s hands it acquired its peculiar extra meaning. The author adds new meanings to the story by considering the stamp album in the context of Walter Benjamin’s understanding of time and the task of the historian. Using Benjamin’s concepts of the “homogeneously empty time,” the nonlinear “historical time,” and the distinction between two types of the “present,” Łysik succeeds in revealing the reasons why Schulz chose for his story an unusual narrative strategy related to the activity of the historian according to Benjamin. The passage from stamps to fiction is successful, but will the protagonists manage to make what they saw in the stamp album come true? The answer must remain ambiguous, just like Benjamin’s thought between translating The Paris Peasant by Aragon and writing One-Way Street.

Having analysed agon behavior on the roads, I would like to reconstruct the elimination of a ludic factor in the process of the development of motorization. Over the century that new invention has changed the world. With the development of infrastructure new laws have been introduced. Since the 19th century the laws and regulations eliminating agon have gradually become more rigorous. The authorities use more control over such behavior and penalization has become stricter – the practice resembles Bentham’s Panopticon.
