The picaresque context of Thomas Berger’s novel is, of course, evident. In my article I refer to a text of an American author concerning this question but, at the same time, I try to specify it as much as I can. I do my best trying to show all the picaresque aspects of the famous literary epic: the adventure structure of plot, specific treatment of space, which is dynamic, changeable and dominating over the whole plot, the panorama of social environments of Indians and Whites in which the protagonist stays alternately, and, first of all, the construction of the protagonist, i.e. Jack Crabb who is a literal picaro, with his plebeian social background, his orphanhood, loneliness, pragmatism, low respect for moral rules, resiliency and others. The important point of my presentation is also the analysis of narration of the novel that is typical for the genre of picaresque — pseudoautobiographical and, of course, first-person narration. Such structure of telling the story causes the functioning of two levels of the fictional world — the level of the external past events and the inner world of feelings and thoughts of the narrator who is also a protagonist. The article contains many examples and quotations from Berger’s novel as the material backing the thesis formulated in it.

Americans are interested in the American Borderland, its mysterious and romantic heroes as well as potential settlers, writers, journalists, politicians, artists, and historians in the course of time. Thanks to writing of some authors such as James Filmore Cooper, Mark Twain, Owen Wister, historical stories, films (mostly western), most heroes from Frontiers (positive and negative) are in American consciousness to these days. Legendary characters of Frontiers were also commemorated on US postage stamps, songs, poetry, paintings (George Catlin – Indian subject and Charles M. Russell), drawings, graphics, lithographs (Frederic Remington), also documentary photographs, permanently romantic vision of the West and its characters. American Borderland and its heroes also fascinated European people including Poles, what was exemplified in contemporary publicity and travel books. These works contributed largely to spread the ideas about the colonization and the mythologization of the American West.

The first part presents, describes, analyzes, and interprets the main concepts related to the Indians. The importance of the conceptual clarifications is closely related to many misleading generalizations based upon biased data. A historical overview of North American people before Columbus' arrival, their ethnopsychological peculiarities are presented, followed by a description and analysis of the relationships between the indigenous people and Europeans. The majority of the first Americans had perished due to conflicts, wars, genocide, restrictions and discriminations imposed by the new inhabitants of the continent as well as by epidemics of infectious diseases. The latest decades have seen the beginning of Indian Renaissance. The second part of the paper describes the psychological peculiarities of Native Americans. An important issue is methodology of data collection, validity and reliability of the data. Discussions and comparisons of the data, stemming from various sources, serve as the basis for descriptions of Indian behaviour. The following categories of values, attitudes, and features had been identified: - cooperation, group harmony, modesty, limited rivalry; - moderation in behaviour, self-restraint, reservation, slow responses, patience; - attention, excellent observational abilities, perceptual peculiarities; - cautious behaviour, avoidance of eye contact, keeping social distance; - view of time as relative, orientation to the present; - preference of concrete rather than abstract concepts, pragmatism; - love of children, importance of the family, role of the relatives; - permissive rearing, peculiar discipline methods; - generosity, indifference to ownership and saving, limited role of private property; - respect for the elderly, veneration of age, harmonious age relations.
