The theme of the article is an attempt to answer the question concerning the way in which Czesław Miłosz’s novel The Seizure of Power exists in the contemporary readers’ reception. To which extent does it nowadays fulfill (or not) the functions for which it was artistically designed half a century earlier? Is it attractive, or do the standards of reading evolved which made it old¬ fashioned and unable to provoke readers emotions? The article concentrates also on searching for important distinctive features for the type of novel that The Seizure of Power is or appears to be today. It can be regarded both as a novel concerning politics with a clear autobiographical suggestions and as a key novel of a certain factual value. By a con-temporary (especially young) reader this first novel of the Nobel Prize Winner will be re-garded as a historical prose. By literary critics and new monographers of the author of The Issa Valley it will be treated today like the caesura in Miłosz’s artistic biography – such atti-tude is now more visible than ever before. It marks the point from which he distances himself from political „journalism” and favors poetry, essays and criticism

Zwierzęta składane w ofierze(na podstawie noweli Iwana Szmielowa Słońce umarłych) Artykuł zawiera analizę najtragiczniejszego dzieła Iwana Szmielowa – „epopei” Słońce umarłych, opisującego ostatnie chwile wojny domowej w Rosji. Tragizm opowieści, wybrzmiewający w tytule, narasta stopniowo i nasila się wraz z rozwojem akcji, realizując się w motywach przetrwania-umierania oraz zbliżającej się apokalipsy. W obrazie ginącego świata zwierzęta odgrywają wyjątkową rolę, są pierwszymi stworzeniami, które składane są w ofierze – niezależnie od tego, czy są to ptaki (paw, orły, jastrząb, gołębie itp.), czy zwierzęta domowe (koń, krowa, pies, kot). W zrozumieniu ich losów szczególną funkcję pełnią zoonimy, które pozwalają na personifikację każdego ze zwierząt i podkreślają wartość życia wszystkich stworzeń.

The tragedy of the story that is in its title gradually grows and intensifies in accordance with the dynamics of the plot action, realized in the motives of survival-dying and impending apocalypse. In the picture of the dying world, animals have an exclusive role, they are destined to be the first to go for sacrifice, whether they are birds (peacock, eagle, hawk, pigeons, etc.) or domestic animals (horse, cow, dog, cat). In the development of their characters, a special function is performed by zoonyms that allow each of them to be personified and to emphasize the value of the life of any being.

In the novels of Joanna Bator we can find the aesthetics of kitsch, which remains closely associated with the creation of the portrayed reality. The author does not limit herself to just making a note of it, but she takes into account contradictions that underlie it – desire for beauty and tastelessness, changeability and stability. There are irony and satire behind those images, but we find no sarcasm. Where only the aesthetic kitsch (mostly in the sweet version) is accentuated, the vision of post-war Poland is devoid of any signs of grotesque. Joanna Bator notices the shallowness of such aesthetics, but, at the same time, she is aware of its association with people’s dreams. The situation is different in the case of political, national or religious kitsch, which is treated with greater respect, where behind the aesthetic there are convolutions of people’s thinking and axiology. Therefore, kitsch may be the result of innocent fantasising about happiness, but also an expression of aggression and ideologization, which inevitably lead to conflict.
