This article attempts to identify and analyze the special nature of the Frontier experience in Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski's 'Beasts, Men and Gods'. With the help of the 'Frontier factor' it has been possible to gain a new perspective on the heterogeneity of Ossendowski's book on the level of genology, narration and literary conventions. 'Beasts Men and Gods' possesses the characteristic features of an adventure story, crime fiction, biography and autobiography, an academic study (combining politics and zoology) and a fairy tale. The fact the book is a meeting point of so many genological and narrative forms and conventions indicates in a way the appropriateness of the concept of the Frontier.

The article is based on letters and accounts of the Toruń deputies to the Polish parlament (sejm), regarding their trip to and two-months stay in Warsaw, preserved in the State Archive in Toruń. The deputies – Christian Klosmann, the mayor of Toruń, Georg Adam Reymer, a councillor, and Gottlob Fendler, a secretary – stayed in Leszno (a suburb of Warsaw) in a little manor house rented for 1080 Polish florins. Their expenses connected with the journey and the stay in Warsaw amounted to 10 589.12 Polish zloties. 19.8% of that sum was spent of food. The deputies ate at the neighbouring manor house, paying 144 zloties per week. In addition, they bought a lot of wine (69 bottles for 519 zloties). Coffee and beer were bought less frequently, and milk was supplied once a week. There are five records of purchasing parmesan cheese and one record of purchasing lemons. 15.8% of the total were expenses for renting, heating and lighting the house. 13.3% was spent on wages for three servants and payment for various services (e.g. of the launder, house cleaner and whig-maker). 12.5% of the sum were travelling expenses. The total sum spent for sending the deputies to the 1767 sejm was only a tiny fraction (2.4%) of the income of the town of Toruń, which at that time amounted to 320 000 Polish zlotys.

The article presents the forms of travelling characteristic of the northern Adriatic that formerly belonged to a unified but multicultural area from the Congress of Vienna in 1815 until 1941. The article focusses on the travelling of the local population and tourists by maritime transport services (the Austrian Lloyd founded in 1836 was the largest transport company of the Habsburg Monarchy) and the railway, and later by road motor transport. According to the available sources (the printed tourist guides are an important source for studying tourism development), we also explained the institutional support for tourism development and strategic development aspects by the Austro-Hungarian and later the Italian (fascist) government. The latter achieved significantly lower results in Istrian tourism due to anti-Slavic actions and other political circumstances, economic depression and the spread of epidemic diseases.

In the paper idyll is presented in three different uncovers. First of all – “degraded idyll”, connected with the phenomenon of “orientalism”, described for the first time by Edward Said. Secondly – “retrospective idyll”, updating the Arcadian Myth and finally – the idyll as a peculiar panacea for the trauma of the otherness. Laskomerský’s travel jotting is analysed through the prism of post-colonial studies as well as phenomenology. In this paper travel is related to the specific kind of experience, both cognitive and emotional, and it is as well a very important part of romantic cultural paradigm, especially voyage to the Orient. Orient was disturbingly different, fascinating and it helped to demarcate the border of one’s own culture and identity. Laskomerský’s travel book is an assemblage of the discourses and is built on the basis of contrast, on both style and content level. The Slovak author is torn between true admiration of beauty and exoticism of the Constantinople and the anxiety, as well as rejection of the foreign culture.

Saint Methodius, a native of Thessalonica, was not only one of the leading Christian missionaries and diplomats of the 9th century, but also an active traveller. He undertook several missionary and diplomatic journeys, which are mentioned in contemporary sources. The paper analyses his journeys to the Khazars, Great Moravia, Rome and finally in 881 to Byzantium. We trace the possible routes and the times it would have taken for Methodius to complete the journeys.

Mongol Empire and its warriors swept through the Eurasian steppe belt from the east to the west, establishing a vast empire stretching through the big part of Eurasian continent. This vast distance was traversed by many individuals, from soldiers, messengers and merchants to foreign ambassadors, trying to contact the most powerful political player in the region. From the written sources of these foreign visitors and the local sources and chronicles, we get the image of how the everyday travel was organized, consisting of the line of stations that served to exchange horses and provide food and accommodation, established in a firm way by the Great Khan Ögedei. From the western sources, mainly the two travellers, John of Plano Carpini and William of Rubruck, who left their narrative notes on their travel in written form, it is possible to see the development and evolution of this system. Both travellers got to Karakorum, passing nearly the whole Eurasian Steppe belt, stretching from the Lower Danube to the Mongolian plane and gave the description of an everyday life on the road, the specific ways of transportation but also characteristics of the horse, their look and behaviour, as well as riding equipment used by the Mongols, that can be traced in the archaeological sources from this region.
