Medieval Europe also had its “little homelands”. Not infrequently, they rose as far as to achieve the rank of symbolical centres. Traces of such approach may be found in literary work.

This paper is devoted to the problems of the sacred space in the prose of one of the contemporary Ukrainian writers Volodymyr Lys. The basis for these analyses are three novels that form the co called “Volhynia trilogy” (Jacob’s Century, Solo for Solomiya, and Virgo of Mlynyshche). The analyses of the above-mentioned works allow us to conclude that the writer quite often refers to functioning of category of sanctity which can be divided in a conventional way into several spaces. One of them is undoubtedly the sacralization of Volyn as a “small homeland” of its inhabitants, but the analysis also revealed the use of legends, folk beliefs and frequent references to religious tradition and the belief in God. It can be said that the mysterious relationship between the good and the evil, sin and sanctity is a characteristic feature of Volodymyr Łys’ “Volhynia Saga,” which creates a specific world where man lives with the God, sensing Him almost physically.

This article presents key motifs in the lyrical works of Ernst Josef Krzywon, a German poet, literary historian. and translator of Polish literature. Krzywon was an intellectual of Upper Silesian origin, who struggled with the conditions of a double biography, enhanced by the socalled great history of belonging to two cultural circles. Both in his poetry and in his scientific works and essays, the author born in Rokitnica (a historical part of Zabrze), tries to face the challenge of presenting the cultural heritage of Upper Silesians as the product of meetings between representatives of several nations - as a common work of the German and Slavic peoples. Our article analyzes the main topic of his poems: the multiracial character of the region and its consequences for the individual - especially the necessity to look for national identity in the area between two cultures and two (or even three) languages.
