The article attempts to reconstruct the family history of the Szumej family, characters in Stanisław Vincenz’s cycle On the High Uplands: Sagas, Song, Tales and Legends of the Carpathians. The most interesting motif of the story is the origin of the family from trees. The descriptions of trees and the consequences of the characters’ unusual origin were analysed. Several images of the Arolla pine are distinguished: the warrior, gazda (the Hutzul farmer in the Carpathians), the mother of the family, the tree of life and death. The features inherited by the descendants of trees are: perseverance, unbearableness, physical strength, and care and trust in the world. Due to the patrilineal structure of the family, women are in the background of family histories – there is no female narrator, the last woman in the family dies. On the social and symbolic level, there is no continuous generational bond between women. The article also points out that the history of the Szumej family, symbolic references to the history of salvation are included.

Artykuł jest próbą rekonstrukcji historii rodowych Szumejów, bohaterów cyklu Na wysokiej połoninie Stanisława Vincenza. Najciekawszym motywem opowieści jest pochodzenie rodu od drzew. Zanalizowane zostały deskrypcje drzew oraz konsekwencje niezwykłego pochodzenia dla kreacji bohaterów. Wyróżniono obrazy kiedry: wojownik, gazda, matka rodu, drzewo żywota i umierania. Cechami odziedziczonymi przez potomków kiedry są: wytrwałość, nieugiętość oraz troskliwość i zaufanie do świata. Z uwagi na patrylinearną strukturę rodu kobiety są na drugim planie rodowych historii, brak w nich narratorki, ostatnia kobieta z rodu umiera. Na płaszczyźnie społecznej i symbolicznej nie istnieje pokoleniowa więź między kobietami. W artykule uwzględniono również zawarte w dziejach rodu symboliczne odniesienia do historii zbawienia.

Geographical Names of the Hutsul Region in the First Volume of the Novel “On the High Uplands” by S. Vincenz (In Light of S. Hrabec’s Research) The aim of the paper is to discuss the linguistic and onymic properties of the geographical names of the Hutsul region (Гуцульщина, Ukraine) used by Stanisław Vincenz in the first volume (“Prawda starowieku”) of his tetralogy “Na wysokiej połoninie” (“On the High Uplands”). The volume was first published in 1936. The second edition appeared in 1980 in Poland and was the one which had the greatest impact on the reception of the Vincenz’s work in the Polish readership after WW2. This is why the 1980 edition has been used as the source of analysed toponymic material. The main finding is that the analysed toponymy is of heterogeneous and (to a certain extent) hybrid nature, combining Polish, Ukrainian, and dialectal Hucul linguistic properties, which perfectly coincides with general tendency in the use of geographical names of the Hucul region in texts produced in the Polish language from the mid-19th century. The names used by Vincenz in the book written in the period 1930–1936 seem to faithfully reflect some specific characteristics of Hutsul toponymy in the 1930s (as discussed by the linguist Stefan Hrabec in his dissertation). Finally, some instances of toponyms’ declension present in “Prawda starowieku” are discussed together with some examples of (partially folk) etymologies codified by Vincenz in his work.
