The Knotted Cord, published in 1953 both in London and New York, was the first novel written in English by a Pole, Jerzy Pietrkiewicz. The author related to the conventions of contemporary British novel, which made the book a success. The Catholic outlook – full of axiological dualism – was one of the elements, which made the book closer to the sensibility of a reader brought up within the Anglosaxon culture. Strongly emphasised religious plot in the Knotted cord only confirms the thesis that Pietrkiewicz made an attempt to enter British literature as a Catholic writer, as Catholic novel was one of the characteristic trends of literature in the 50. of the XX century in the United Kingdom.

The Knotted Cord, opublikowana w 1953 roku równolegle w Londynie i w Nowym Jorku, jest pierwszą powieścią polskiego pisarza emigracyjnego, Jerzego Pietrkiewicza, napisaną po angielsku. Autor nawiązuje do konwencji współczesnej powieści brytyjskiej, co sprawiło, że książka odniosła sukces. światopogląd katolicki – nacechowany dualizmem aksjologicznym – stanowił jeden z elementów, który sprawił, że książka stała się bliska wrażliwości odbiorcy wychowanego w kulturze anglosaskiej. Mocno wyeksponowany w The Knotted Cord wątek religijny świadczy o tym, że Pietrkiewicz świadomie podjął próbę wpisania się do literatury brytyjskiej jako pisarz katolicki, gdyż jednym z trendów charakterystycznych dla literatury brytyjskiej w latach 50. ubiegłego wieku był nurt powieści katolickiej.

In Jerzy Pietrkiewicz’s novel Inner Circle (1966) [Wewnętrzne koło] the author presents the problem of human loneliness. The book consists of three separate parts that refer respectively to the past, the present and potential future of mankind. In any location, the space bears the burden of the labyrinth evoking the characters’ strong feeling of alienation and confusion. The perception of the environment is highly subjective; yet, the predominating features of the surrounding world include seclusion and ceaseless feeling of encirclement.

During the first decades of the XX century the myth of idyllic pre-war countryside was strong in Poland and such reminiscences of the abandoned homeland were especially important for Polish exiles after The World War II. One of them was Jerzy Pietrkiewicz who described the Dobrzyn Land in his novel in English The Knotted Cord, published in Great Britain in 1953. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the way the author incorporated the elements of the Polish rural dialect and culture into the book addressed to the British recipient. The aim of the article is to analyse the author’s literary experiment based on the insertion of many Polish words into the English text. The main objective of the analysis is to view how Pietrkiewicz represented his homeland and identify the reasons why the book appeared to be successful.
