The final part of an extensive analysis of Wyspianski's drama 'Ulysses' Return'. The authoress is studying symbolics represented in Wyspianski's drama by Itaka, the land which is sinking under Ulysses' feet, and which is predestinated to be the place of his self - recognition. The authoress is studying also the influence of Nietzsche's philosophy on resistance movement 'Mloda Polska' (Young Poland) and also on Stanislaw Wyspianski. Her extensive study in a Jubilee Year of Stanislaw Wyspianski succeeded in introducing this important Polish artist to the Slovak public and maybe also inspire theatrical producers to pay attention to his plays.
On the occasion of a hundred year anniversary of an excellent Polish painter and dramatist Stanislaw Wyspianski's death, the Polish parliament declared a year of 2007 to be the Year of Wyspianski. The editorial office of the Slovak Theatre is commemorating this anniversary by publishing a singular thesis work of Martina Filinova, who had focused on analysis of antique dramas of Stanislaw Wyspianski 'Ulysses' Return' and 'Achillies'. In the first part of her study the authoress is summarizing the dramatist fate, exploring the pecularities of his relation to antique topics. The continuation related to Wyspianski's interpretation of Homer's myth will be published in the next issue.
