This article sets off to discuss the intertextuality of some of Andrea Camilleri’s detective novels which offer a variety of implicit and explicit signals of the bonds between them and the prior texts, and also display the cultural competence of the protagonists — and, thus, of the author (an imposing assembly of thirty names — from Homer to R. Musil to G. Simenon). On the primary semantic level (the linguistic level), the distinctive elements are realised as citations (e.g. songs, poems, proverbs) and direct and indirect references to the names of literary and filmic characters, names of authors and their works’ titles. The fictional world, i.e. the secondary semantic level, abounds, too, in distinctive elements (such as similar situations, events, structures, characters and the descriptions of their looks). The numerous references to the literary tradition document the writer’s striving to ennoble detective fiction and protect it from the negative impact of the homogeneity of modern culture.

The article analyses the strategies Marek Krajewski employs to portray the city in his Breslau series. Owing to the compatibility of the text (signifier) and city (signified), it is relatively easy to represent the city in a literary text. The city is always already semiotically mediated and therefore prepared for its further semiotic processing in interpretation. Individual strategies of representation are always connected with certain layers of textual structures and are open to analysis by different areas of literary studies. The topographic representation of the city mediated by the layer of historical toponyms that form chains and paths crosses the boundary of the strictly internal textual structure and calls for geopoetics as analytical tool. The strategy of representing ordinariness via period objects for everyday use makes up for the layer of the retro genre. The narrative representation of the city – stories (and their matrixes) that form Krajewski’s literary Breslau – predominantly constitutes the layer of detective thriller. Combination of these strategies of representation of the city, delimited by a cross-section of the textual corpus of the Breslau series, forms Krajevski’s specific generic representation of the city.

Due to the fact that modern paroemilogists and linguists very often complain in their statementsabout the disappearance of tradition in making use of adages, the aim of this article is to verify these woeful observations. The subject of the research are two novels written by Mariusz Wollny (Kacper Ryx and Kacper Ryx i król przeklęty) which represent the historical detective novel in its belligerently-adventurous version. Statistical analysis of both novels proves considerable usage of proverbs and proverbial expressions, typical for the 19th century novel writing. The impressive number of Polish paroemia (701) are also completed with Latin adages (41), French (1), German (3), Russian (1) and Ukrainian (1), being presented in the original linguistic shape. Wollny’s paroemiological competence is, moreover, crystallized by diversified forms of incorporating proverbs, in order to attain a complete formal and semantic text cohesion: grammatical form modification of a proverb (the change of a person, number, tense and mood), shortening of proverbs (apocopes), preceding with a binding phrase, joining proverbs into mini-sequences, the change of one idiomatic element, as well as, paraphrasing and allusion to paroemia. These diversified ways of including proverbs into a directive text, correspond with the multiplicity of the performed functions: indirect characteristic of the character (nationality, social affiliation, the knowledge of communication strategies, education qualification, mentality type, etc.), language style, aesthetic and expressive function. This strategy of artistic conduct is similar to the historical novels of Sienkiewicz, very often definedas an “adventure novel”.
