The article seeks to interpret the motif of Brother Albert Chmielowski (participant in the January Uprising, social activist as well as a Young Poland painter) in Stefan Żeromski’s 1913 novel Nawracanie Judasza (Converting Judas) and to answer the question about the role of the Albertine hermitage on Kalatówki. The Albertine congregation played an active part in the development of infrastructure in Zakopane, with the brothers working, for example, on the construction of the most popular tourist trail in the Tatras — to Giewont — an important thread in Żeromski’s novel. Żeromski sees Brother Albert not only as a spiritual idealist and social activist, but also a fine artist creating works typical of modernism (painting in the altar in the Kalatówki chapel featuring the crucifix with the suffering Christ). The crucial motif of “converting Judas” lies in the enhancement of the status of landscape, an example of Żeromski’s typical lyricisation of descriptions of nature. For the author of Converting Judas, the subjectification of landscape as well as numerous metaphorised images of nature are used mostly as means to illustrate the protagonist’s inner landscape. The dominant myth in the novel — of eternal creative nature: changeable but personifying the evolutionary continuity of life — is an optimistically soothing answer to decadent dilemmas. In the mountain landscape, surrounded by nature and accompanied by a friar, the protagonist experiences a real katharsis. The “blessed sight” generates strength needed for the construction of the trail and personal spiritual renewal.

The main concept of the article concerns Stefan Zeromski’s exchange of thought with the attitudes of Brother Albert, who became a prototype of a “lame old man” in Żeromski’s first part of the trilogy Struggle with Satan. The author concerns herself with the following issues: whether Żeromski ever personally Brother Albert and why The Conversion of Judas (Nawracanie Judasza) did not impress him. The article also explores issues related to what extent the attitudes of main hero of The Conversion of Judas are a consequence of Żeromski’s personal convictions or if the intriguing story of Adam Chmielowski’s (Brother Albert) life influenced the creation of the literary character’s personality.

Główny problem szkicu dotyczy korespondencji myślowej Stefana Żeromskiego z  postawą Brata Alberta, który stał prototypem „kulawego starca” w pierwszej części trylogii powieściowej Walka z szatanem. Autorka zastanawia się, czy pisarz poznał osobiście Brata Alberta, dlaczego Nawracanie Judasza nie zrobiło na nim najlepszego wrażenia, a także nad kwestią, na ile postawa głównego bohatera Nawracania Judasza jest konsekwencją światopoglądowych przekonań twórcy, a na ile pewne rysy osobowości postaci literackiej zostały wykreowane pod wpływem zaciekawienia Żeromskiego intrygującą historią życia Adama Chmielowskiego-Brata Alberta.
