This article is an attempt to interpret the final scene of The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (in which Concetta buries the remains of a decomposing stuffed dog) and to present an analysis of the motif of hope chests. Tracing Freudian anachronisms in the novel’s narration, the author proves that Concetta’s never-opened hope chests are a sign of her “mummified” memories of erotic unfulfillment. The decayed dowry kept in the chests is an image of “memory traces” (Freud) which harm the unmarried woman, turning her life into a “hell of memories.”

Artykuł stawia pytanie o znaczenie finałowej sceny Geparda Giuseppe Tomasiego di Lampedusy (grzebania przez Concettę szczątków psiej kukły) i w całości przedstawia analizę motywu skrzyń posagowych. Tropiąc Freudowskie anachronizmy w narracji powieści, autor dowodzi, że nieotwarte nigdy skrzynie są dla Concetty znakiem „zmumifikowanej” pamięci o erotycznym niespełnieniu. Zbutwiała w zamkniętych skrzyniach wyprawa posagowa stanowi zatem obraz „resztek wspomnieniowych” (Freud), które przez lata raniły niezamężną kobietę, zamieniając całe jej życie w „piekło wspomnień”.

Magdalena Śniedziewska’s book discusses a theme in Gustaw Herling-Grudziński’s works which has not been thoroughly researched, i.e. their relationship with Italian literature. This is how we discover Herling-Grudziński as a writer who is simultaneously a great literary criticwho looks eagerly and with both interest (sometimes) and passion at the work of such authors as Nicola Chiaromonte, Ignazio Silone, Alberto Moravia, Luigi Pirandello, Tomasi di Lampedusa and Leonardo Sciascia. The opening chapter of the book discusses Herling-Grudziński’s condition as an emigrant and the changes in his attitude to Naples which became his second home after World War II; the final chapter is about the Polish writer’s difficult relationship with Italian book market, reconstructing the story of the reception of Inny świat (A World Apart) in Italy.
