The aim of this article is to analyse the Czech reception of the literary work Gottland by Mariusz Szczygieł. The book triggered much interest in the Czech Republic. There, after its translation was published in 2007, it provoked a discussion about the history of the Czech Republic and the Czech national character. Czech authors' reviews and opinions concerning the Polish journalist's set of pieces of reportage focused on the problem of the spirit of the place, Czech mentality as well as recollection of the past. Furthermore, interest was triggered by the form which Szczygieł chose to introduce the topic, i.e. a piece of literary reportage, which is quite unpopular in the Czech Republic. The author of this article also draws our attention to the fact that the book received very positive reviews and that the history of the Czech Republic as well as Czechoslovakia described from a Pole's perspective was found, in most cases, of high quality and enriching.

This paper presents the views of Victor Erofeyev, a Russian writer and columnist, on the West. The author of this paper makes an attempt to show Erofeyev’s views on Western Europe and the USA, focusing particularly on selected aspects of the Western reality (religion, political correctness, politics, capitalism, mentality) as well as the West’s approach to Russia. Erofeyev’s views are determined by his opinion on society and politics. The author of this paper shows the relationship between Erofeyev’s approach to the West and the Westernizers’ movement, a Russian intellectual movement of the 19th century. The author also demonstrates how Erofeyev’s views are part of the Westernizers’ tradition in Russia’s intellectual life.
