The article is an attempt at a comparative reading of two Witold Gombrowicz’s diaristic texts, namely “Dziennik 1953–1956” (“Diary 1953–1956”) (a literary diary) and “Kronos” (the writer’s private diary). An analysis of one record concerning general Pueyrredón’s house (“Diary 1953–1956”) shows the challenges posed when negotiating the fragment with the notes included into Kronos. The author argues that the tensions between the literary and the private in “Diary 1953–1956” derive partially from the camouflage, and also from Gombrowicz’s struggle to delineate a tragedy of his own existence in a broad (philosophical, metaphysical) sense more than in the erotic-physiological context. Tischner suggests an interpretation that answers the question why Gombrowicz composed two diaries which differ on factual level. It also makes it possible to state that Gombrowicz wanted his readers to know the content of “Kronos”.

The aim of the article is to present the individual and intense experience of sensing the world, whose account can be found in the novel Salt of the Earth. The term “religious experience” was taken from William James. The author of the article first mentions the interpretative difficulties connected with the structural irony, which calls into question the statements verbalized in the novel. Taking into account this complexity, he points out four elements which justify talking about a religious experience in the Salt of the Earth. Firstly, he points up the title, which evokes a religious perception of the world and assumes a response to a calling which comes from God. Secondly, he refers to the Prologue (which does not contain structural irony), which contains the motif of war as a blasphemy. Thirdly, he analyses those passages in which the narrator weakens their distance towards Piotr Niewiadomski’s point of view and favourably assumes the magical interpretation of natural phenomena. Lastly, he refers to the Christian-Orphic-Hutsul motif of the immortality of the soul and contact with the dead.
