The author presents in her article the history and vale of the calendars of Wielkopolska Region from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the potentiality of using them as a source for cultural tourism development in the region. Calendars can enrich the research skills of not only guidebook or other travel publication authors, but also that of cultural tourism popularizers, including tour guides and teachers. Thanks to their cognitive, literary, educational, patriotic and Christian values, the calendars have a chance to diversify tourist offer aimed at the enthusiasts of the city of Poznań and of Wielkopolska Region.

In the centre of the analysis stands the autoreferential dimension of Thomas Mann’s Doktor Faustus and its relation to the novel’s socio-philosophical message, which, although not free from ironical overtones, tends to be a didactic plea for humanism. However, the main emphasis of the investigation is not the humanist idea itself but, above all, the narrative methods used to infuse this idea with new means of expression. Therefore, the music-motif in the novel is interpreted as a metaphor of an intertextual literary motif. From a metaliterary perspective, the main question in Mann’s partly consistent, yet partly paradoxical art- and soul-study is the following: how can (and should) the Faust-legend be reshaped and interpreted to match the demands of the modern age? The attempt to discuss the ‚national myth‘ in such a new way is made by three authorities: two fictional and one real. The protagonist, Adrian Leverkühn, the first-person narrator, Serenus Zeitblom, and, finally, the author himself, Thomas Mann, each in turn, whether wilfully or unconsciously, offers their own art-concept. To a great extent, the general semantic picture of the story told in Faustus is determined by various distinctions between the intratextual ideological confrontation ‚Leverkühn vs. Zeitblom‘ and the extratextual outside-perspective of the author, who stays paramount to the novel-figures. My article attends to the narratological as well as the philosophical decoding of this overall-picture.

Continuity in changing times. The German calendar literature by the turn of the 20th century in the Province of Poznań Calendars were originally developed for the purpose of temporal orientation and coordination of activities of a group of people. Over time, they have been used as an important means of forming opinions. In regards to that, one cannot underestimate the role of narrative text forms which have been present in calendars since the 16th century and gradually grew in size and importance. The composition of a wide variety of text types and the combination of text and illustration were responsible for the mass distribution of such publications in the 19th century. In the Province of Poznań calendars also enjoyed great popularity. Of special interest is the Evangelical People’s Calendar, which was published in Poznań for around 80 years (1861–1941). It accompanied the German population in this area through the major transition points from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century. In relation to the German calendar literature of the Poznań area, the following questions will be investigated in this article: which turning points of the 20th century were included in the calendar? Which events were considered epochal by the calendar makers? In which form were they presented in the calendars? What was the role of the historical-political and socio-mental context? How was the potential of calendars used to give the readers the sense of continuity and stability by the turn of the century?

Zwischen Bewunderung und Kritik – Theodor Fontanes Reisebericht „Ein Sommer in London“ als ‘Dokument einer Gesellschaft und eines Zeitalters’
EN
Kalender als eine Buchform, die neben einem Kalendarium und den dazu gehörenden Infor- mationen wie Finsternisse des entsprechenden Jahres, Jahresmarktverzeichnis und Genealogien der regierenden Häuser auch aus einem belletristischen Teil bestand, hat seit seiner Popularisierung im15. Jahrhundert große Entwicklung durchgemacht. Als der einzige säkulare Lesestoff, der neben Bibel und einem Gesangbuch sogar von sozialen Untersichten gelesen wurde, hat Kalender schnell an Bedeutung gewonnen und große Rolle in der Herausbildung der konfessionellen und nationalen Identität von den einzelnen Gesellschaftsgruppen gespielt. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Artikels steht eins der deutschsprachigen Kalender, die im 19. und um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert in Großpolen in großer Zahl erschienen sind. Evangelischer Volkskalender war eins der Unternehmen, die im Rahmen der sog. Inneren Mission den Christen sowohl die geistliche als auch die materielle Unter- stützung gewähren sollten. An dieser Stelle hat man ausführlich über die evangelische Kirche in der Provinz Posen berichtet und u. a. von den neu entstehenden Kirchengemeinden geschrieben.13 Jahre nach der Erstausgabe des Evangelischen Volkskalenders wurde er von dem Posener Diakonissenhaus übernommen, was nicht ohne Einfluss sowohl auf die Form als auch die Inhalte des Kalenders blieb.
