Artykuł koncentruje się na funkcjach estetycznych i ideologicznych tematyki górskiej i związanej z mieszkańcami gór obecnych w prozie Wojciecha Kuczoka, znanego pisarza, alpinisty i speleologa. Kultura górali tatrzańskich (język i zwyczaje) pojawia się już we wczesnych opowiadaniach Kuczoka i powraca w późniejszej twórczości (opowiadaniach, powieściach, esejach filmowych, formach autobiograficznych). Głównym tematem tekstu jest powieść Spiski. Przygody tatrzańskie (łącząca realizm z fantazją) i Poza światłem, pierwsze dzieło non-fiction Kuczoka, opisujące jego podróże po Polsce i za granicą, a także wyprawy w wysokie góry i do jaskiń.

The mountains, especially the Tatras, occupy a special place in Jerzy Żuławski’s life. As a place where one can escape from the noise and chaos of the civilised world, they become important as one of the most influential spaces shaping the creative personality of the mountaineering writer. The article is an attempt to examine the author of Trylogia Księżycowa (The Lunar Trilogy) from the perspective of a mountain hiker’s experiences. The present author analyses both memoirs and journals— which reveal to the readers a lesser known side of Żuławski, an experienced mountaineer, one of the co-founders of the Tatra Volunteer Search and Rescue and activist in Zakopane — and literary works, especially his lyrics, which reveal the writer’s wandering predilections and record his authentic experiences of mountain spaces. What emerges from these writings is a symbolic image of the mountains as an area of freedom (also political freedom), a place where God’s creative power is revealed, finally — a place of physical and mental liberation, requiring as much courage and fortitude as humility in confrontation with the primeval forces of nature. The author of the article, pointing to intertextual references and traces of literary and philosophical tradition (influence of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Spinozian pantheism, Romantic images), seeks to demonstrate the individuality of the writer, for whom the ultimate reference in his Tatra oeuvre is always an authentic experience of wandering.

Mountaineering in the Tatras, dominated as it was in the inter-war period by Polish climbers, was elitist, which stemmed from the climbers’ relatively high social standing and the dominant role played by the climbers within the “people of the mountains” circle. The Tatra mountaineers made the biggest contribution to the development of Polish mountaineering, of writing about mountains and popularisation of the Tatras. The most colourful period of inter-war mountaineering were the years 1928 to 1933. It was the height of the activity of the most distinguished climbers of the day. The group included Wincenty Birkenmajer, son of Ludwik Antoni Birkenmajer, a Jagiellonian University professor, and Zofia Birkenmajer née Karlińska. Wincenty Birkenmajer worked in secondary schools in the Wielkopolska region, teaching Polish and introduction to philosophy. He became interested in mountaineering in the Tatras relatively late in life, but quickly became one of the leading Tatra climbers, writers and ideologists. In the Tatras he was the first to set about fifty climbing routes, about forty of which he set in the 1930 summer season. His most important achievements include a new route via the western side of Łomnica, a new route via the eastern side of Gerlach, the first traverse of the north-eastern pillar of Ganek, the first traverse of the eastern side of Rohatá veža and a new route via the southern side of Kežmarský štít. Birkenmajer also participated in the first expeditions of the Tourism Section of the Polish Tatra Society (ST PTT) to the Alps, in 1931 and 1932, where he contributed to the greatest successes of Poles in high mountains at the time. For example, he made the third traverse of the 900-metre southern side of La Meije and the first traverse of the south-western ridge of Aiguille du Moine. Wincenty Birkenmajer died of exhaustion on the terrace of Gáleria Ganku on 17 April 1933 when attempting the first winter traverse of the north-eastern pillar of Ganek. He was buried in Zakopane.

On 6 October 1929 two teenagers from Zakopane, the sisters Lida and Marzena Skotnicówna, died tragically while trying to traverse the southern face of Zamarła Turnia. The accident became a permanent part of the history of mountaineering in the Tatras, especially of women’s mountaineering. It became an inspiration for many writers and journalists, who “immortalised” the Skotnicówna sisters, making them protagonists of poems and novels, but also expressing judgements on the legitimacy of women’s mountain climbing. The author of the article explores works commemorating and sometimes even mythologising the sisters. Her aim is, first of all, to illustrate the role of women’s expansion in mountaineering in the interwar period, expansion which — since it is still alive through the memory of its heroines — must have been significant; and to demonstrate various ways of writing not only about the Skotnicówna sisters as human beings, women, climbers, but also as female pioneers of mountaineering or even a phenomenon. The author’s method is based on a comparison of various literary and journalistic works and hermeneutical interpretation in a historical and social context, using the tools of geocriticism.
