The article describes transformations of the traditional patterns of fairytaleness in Boleslaw Lesmian’s adaptation of the stories of Sindbad the Sailor from a book of Arabian Nights. Lesmian’s version is so far-reaching reinterpretation of the “Arab stories” that it forms a new pattern that can be seen as a modern literary fairy-tale. A symptom of modernising the fairy-tale is a shift in stylistic tone and “autobiographising” the fairy-tale. The direction of the transformations reflects the poet’s aesthetic affinities, e.g. for grotesque, as well as some of his psychical and emotional inclinations. The key motifs and fictional threads of Adventures of Sindbad the Sailor contain literary transpositions of Lesmian’s likings and prejudices, fascinations and idiosyncrasies, in other words – his phantasms. The analysis refers to one aspect which focuses on the motif of hunger and eating, the latter transforming into perverse culinary obsessions.
