Trzecią i ostatnią powieść należącą do tzw. cyklu litewskiego – Puszczę (1913) – poświęcił Weyssenhoff mozyrskim poleskich posiadłościach swoich przyjaciół i krewnych. Utwór, będący niezwykle plastycznym literackim obrazem Polesia, dał pisarzowi okazję do sportretowania wieloetnicznej, ale też zróżnicowanej środowiskowo poleskiej społeczności, na którą składają się: osadzona tu od wieków polska szlachta kresowa, wywodzący się ze środowiska drobnej szlachty dworzanie oraz prosta ludność zamieszkująca poleskie knieje – miejscowi rybacy, topornicy, smolarze. Przedmiotem podjętych w tym artykule rozważań jest stan wiedzy na temat specyficznej odmiany polszczyzny używanej na Polesiu w pierwszym dziesięcioleciu XX wieku i jej zróżnicowania społecznego, zaświadczony w Puszczy przez bogato prowadzoną przez pisarza stylizację językową.

Józef Weyssenhoff dedicated his work, Puszcza (1913; the third and last novel belonging to the so-called ‘Lithuanian cycle’) to the “Belarussian Polesie”, which he knew well as a result of being hosted on numerous occasions by his friends and relatives in their properties, located in Polesie. The work, which is an extremely vivid literary image of Polesie, provided the writer with an opportunity to portray a multi-ethnic, but also environmentally diverse Polesie community consisting of: Polish borderland noblemen who were established there for centuries, the courtiers of the gentry, and the simple population inhabiting forests in Polesie – local fishermen, axemen, pitch burners. The subject of this work is the state of knowledge about the specific variety of Polish language used in Polesie in the first decade of the twentieth century and its social diversity, attested in the Puszcza through the writer’s rich linguistic stylization.

Józef  Weyssenhoff was a highly popular and widely read author at the end of the 19th and in the early 20th century. He was active as a writer, literary critic, and journalist during the time of the Young Poland movement and in the interwar period. He wrote his works at the turn of the two centuries and in the first decades of the new century. Throughout the later stage of his literary activity, i.e. from 1905 until his death, Weyssenhoff was greatly interested in politics. His contacts, reads, own observations and experiences in this matter gave rise to his tendentious political novels. The subjects he raised and reflected upon include the issue of the Polish-Lithuanian conflict, which caused a huge controversy in the first decades of the 20th century. Weyssenhoff demonstrated his own stance on the matter in his novel Union, published in 1910, which he wrote during the period of intensification of the national movement in Lithuania, particularly in Vilnius. The author regarded the movement to be politically dangerous, propagating hatred towards Poland, and able to cause the common cultural, historical, and political heritage of Poland and Lithuania to be destroyed. Young Lithuanian activists were acting to the detriment of the Polish language, depreciating the value of anything Polish. The conflict between Poland and Lithuania increased the risk of russification. The author suggested that what should be done in those circumstances was seek to restore the Polish-Lithuanian alliance. He showed the readers of his book how that process should be initiated. The marriage between the protagonists of Union: Kazimierz Rokszycki, a Pole, and Krystyna Sołomerecka, a Lithuanian, who loved their common motherland, serves as a symbol of a new, revived relationship between Poland and Lithuania.
