Cudzoziemka (The Stranger) is the most famous novel of Maria Kuncewiczowa (1895–1989) and one of the most outstanding examples of Polish interwar prose. It tells the story of Róża Żabczyńska – an unhappy wife, mother and above all – abandoned once loved and a would-be violinist. The main part of the book is a presentation of the last day in the Róża’s life, when the character recalls the most important events and memories, especially from her early youth. The narrative is not linear. Individual episodes are compiled on the basis of associations, not in the chronological order. Cudzoziemka is usually interpreted as a psychological novel. In the foreground there is a story of a great, unrequited love from the school days, which can not be forgotten during for a lifetime. However there is also another element which is omnipresent on the pages of the novel. It is the music. It is present at all levels of the piece – from layers of language (use of terms related to the execution of music and onomatopeic words, especially to present specific moods, and moreover: overall sensitivity to sound and recalling diverse titles of music pieces), through the narrative: the selection of the key events and making the main character violinist; probably up to the more general conclusions about the nature of music. The structure of the novel suggests some analogies with musical form. What is more, there are many interesting examples of intertextual narrative as a consequence of invoking vocal pieces with a corresponding subject (the most important seems to be Schumann’s Dichterliebe). Music is everywhere, appears not only as a natural (yet attractive) backdrop for stories of wounded feelings of the vengeful violinist. Repeatedly, it is used to convey different types of information to the reader. It becomes often an expression of belief. It also reveals the true face of the main character. Finally, the attitude to music has a major impact on the relationships of other characters with Róża.

This paper is focused on a volume of short essays and notes by Maria Kuncewiczowa entitled Notatki włoskie. Przezrocza (Italian notes. Slides) from 1985. The first part is devoted to the evolution and the literary realizations of the Italian journey, starting from 1918, in order to offer an interpretation of the place occupied by Kuncewiczowa’s work in the panorama of contemporary Polish literature. In the second part, the author analyzes the genesis and genre of this literary text, recognizing its characteristics as a silva rerum, a traditional formal model of Polish literature which experienced renewed fortune in the second half of the twentieth century. The third part of the essay constitutes its thematic core: the author analyzes the image of Rome in all its many facets, relating it to the writer’s poetics and worldview.

Julije Benešć’s correspondence with Polish scholars, people of culture, writers, and numerous acquaintances and friends began in his school years and lasted until his death. A large collection of letters and postcards sent to him by Poles has been collected in the HAZU library in Zagreb, but unfortunately it has not yet been put in order, and some items have been lost. The materials in the collection were only collected in the form of a list prepared by Ivan Meden in 1978. This text presents letters from Maria Kuncewiczowa, which provide information about the relations of Polish writers with the Croatian popularizer of their works and about the writer’s perception of the Polish literary scene in the years 1920s.
