'Podróz zimowa' (Journey In Winter) is a series of songs written by Stanislaw Baranczak as lyrics for Franz Schubert's music. It shows concern especially on problems of the space creation in literary works, as the lyrical subject's relationships with the world and the lyrical subject himself are shaped by the surrounding landscape.The series provokes reading it in the context of the romantic topos of a wanderer, concerning the romantic ways of categorizing space. Nevertheless, it is impossible to interpret the lyrics without considering two main Baranczak's interlocutors occuring in the poems. These are Schubert's music and Müller's series of poems 'Winterreise', both of which once are the points of reference, but only to allow the lyrical subject to distance himself from them later on. Space traversed by the modern traveller defnitely differs from the landscapes typical for Müller's poetry, however, it seems that they are fundamental for the lyrical subject's self-identification in the contemporary world. The more the subjective and lyrical subject becomes to depend on the vision of the world, the more difficult becomes its self-identification. Minimized, in comparison with romantic songs, the presence of nature makes the area where one could have settled and felt safe vanishes. Therefore, the journey becomes the only chance to meet the surrounding world and to be initiated. It is the journey that allows for distinguishing oneself as an individual and, what follows, finding one's own identity.
