The article deals with the biographies of Henryk Sienkiewicz created in connection with the writer’s death and the celebration of bringing his body to Warsaw. These are texts of a more journalistic than documentary character, marked by rhetorical pathos, building the figure of the national writer – the successor of the romantic poets. For the description of their specificity the concept has been used which appears in the biographical studies written in English as “biomythography”, understood as a particular type of ideological narration with a distinct surplus of symbolic meanings.

This article focuses on documentary narration in literary prose, which is analyzed with regard to its function and poetics using the example of selected texts of GDR protocol literature and German documentary literature of the post-reunification years. The question of what constitutes the peculiarity of documentary literature and what caused its popularity in the pre- and post-reunification period will be explored. Furthermore, selected examples will be used to illustrate how the levels of the factual and the fictional intermingle and complement each other in the individual texts. The texts discussed in this article are narratives that remain close to factual events, but at the same time fictionalize them and therefore cannot be considered completely and unambiguously in either the category of literary fiction or documentary.

In the autumn of 1878, nearly 300 of the north Cheyennes, under the leadership of Little Wolf and Dull Knife, decided to escape from the nightmarish reservation in Oklahoma and to return to their homeland in Yellowstone (Wyoming). They had to march almost 2,000 kilometres to return to their beautiful country. But it was to be a road through hell. Especially for the part where Dull Knife tried to shelter from the severe winter at Fort Robinson, where the Indians of the group were slaughtered. This essay presents four works describing the dramatic and tragic moment of the history of this beautiful and proud tribe of Cheyennes: a famous historical account by Dee Brown, a historian and writer who has been interested in the fate of American Natives for nearly his whole life (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee , 1970), the novel The Last Frontier (1941) written by the leftist writer, Howard Fast, a documentary novel by Mari Sandoz titled The Cheyenne Autumn and the famous movie under the same title by John Ford (1964).
