The article focuses on a still unresolved issue — that of two different addressees of Lucjan Rydel’s Bajka o Kasi i królewiczu [A Tale of Kate and a Prince], which thanks to its “infantilised” artwork designed by Stanisław Dębicki (in the 1904 edition), probably contrary to the book author’s intention, had its addressee changed and was included under the heading of children’s literature. The author of the article aims at explaining the controversies — suggested by critics and literature scholars and present also in memories of book reading in childhood — surrounding the addressees of the work, its alleged erotic and sexual subtexts making it a work “not for children”. The starting point is a study by Juliusz Tenner, who was probably the first to formulate a provocative thesis concerning the attitude of the main female protagonist of this fairy tale, seeing in it manifestations of “rapture and pathological ecstasy”.

The subject of this study is the film Dom św. Kazimierza [St Casimir’s Home] (1983) directed by Ignacy Gogolewski who also plays the role of the protagonist. The movie is contrasted with biographical facts concerning the poet’s final years (1877–1883) spent in an almshouse in Ivry-Sur-Seine just outside Paris. Scarce in means of artistic expression, the picture focuses on Norwid’s place of residence. It shows the drama of the forlorn poet and his relationships with compatriots — the conflicted, embittered veterans of national uprisings and ex-soldiers who, like himself, are doomed to vegetate in the foreign land. In spite of that, he tries to find a way to overcome this situation in his creative work, in interactions with his friends, and in carriage “escapes” to Paris.

Bogusław Longchamps de Berier (1884–1947), a well-known Lviv lawyer (father of Franciszek, an eminent professor of administrative law at the University of Wrocław, associated with the University from 1946), was the author of a volume of memoirs from 1884–1918, which his publisher gave the title of Ochrzczony na szablach powstańczych… [Baptised with Insurgents’ Swords…]. In writing them, he not only reconstructed his family history, which was part of the patriotic, independence-driven history of the Polish intelligentsia in the 19th and at the turn of the 20th century in Galicia, but also set it against the background of the political situation, ethnic relations as well as social, economic and industrial transformations in the region. A special place — though fairly modest given the book size — is occupied by the Eastern Carpathians, where the Kolomyia-born author spent his childhood and part of his youth in Rypne, Drohobych and Lavochno. In Rypne, “on the northern leaps of the Carpathians,” the author’s father owned a kerosene mine. As a small boy, the author would spent days by the mine shafts, fascinated as he was with the mining process. In the reminiscences, the industrial landscape of the Boryslav-Drohobych region, an important element of the “pioneer-borderland” existence, matches the author’s lyrical, romantic perception of the mountains; it harmonises with the painting-like quality, characteristic of the turn of the 20th century poetics, but also with a botanical precision, realistic topographic, ethnographic and sociological observations. De Berier got to know the mountains through his often lonely, truly pioneering hikes (bearing in mind the fact that Carpathian tourism did not develop until the inter-war period): from Drohobych (through Hubyche, Boryslav and Dzial) to Urych and Sokoliki, from which his mother came; a nearly 100-km trek along the Carpathian ridges through Gorgany Wyszkowskie to Podlute; to Berzavy in Hungary — combined with an ascent of Stoh, with a night spent at Wielki Wierch […], to the foot of Volovec and Pikuj-Husla… In Bogusław Longchamps de Berier’s account, the Carpathians in the late 19th and early 20th century were an area as fascinating as it was wild and untamed in its “industrial” dimension; on the other hand, these are “landscape,” picturesque mountains, though presented without excessive affectation “ritualised” by the modernist manner.

The article examines the image of Mount Etna, the Sicilian volcano, in selected accounts of travellers and tourists. It provides an analysis of the way this image was created in a “conquering” manner, characteristic particularly of 1 description highlighting the landscape-related, aesthetic aspect. The author of the article examines 9th-century authors but not shying away from emotional accounts by Chatea ubriand and J.W. Goethe, A.E. Odyniec’s account of Mickiewicz’s stay in Sicily revealed in his correspondence, descriptions by F.S. Dmochowski, M. Wiszniewski and S. Bełza as well as Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s entries in his diaries.

The article is devoted to interpretations of several Alpine fairy tales from the collection Fairy tales from the mountains edited by Elena Chmelová. The aim is not only to delimit the themes present in the tales – typical of magical folk tales – but also to point out characteristic regional, ethnographic, topographic and landscape-related motifs associated with specific features of the various parts of the Alps (Pennine, Bernese, Urner, Glarus, Rhaetian, Allgäu, Provence Alps etc.). A “commentary” is provided by 19th century accounts of Polish travellers.

The article focuses on the journalistic activity of Antonina Smiszkowa (1858 - 1934), a Polish-Czech writer, educator, educational activist of the second half of the 19th century, who propagated the knowledge of geography, history, culture and social issues of the Czech Republic, Moravia and Slovakia. The article discusses Smiszkowa’s Jak żyją w Czechach. Zwyczaje i powiastki czeskie (1889), a booklet addressed to the Polish people in which she promoted models of modern farming and introduced Polish peasants to the organization of education, culture and folklore of the Czech countryside. With her subsequent publications on the Czech Republic, O Czechach, ich kraju i życiu (1895) and Czechy i naród czeski (1904), which presented a much richer folkloristic and social material, she became involved in the Czech national revival movement, emphasizing the important the role of the Czech woman in it.
