The article describes an 1844 romantic trip through the Alps by the Polish writer Łucja Rautenstrauch from the princely family of Giedroyć (1798–1886), an account of which was later included in the memoirs In the Alps and beyond the Alps (1847). The author has established the route followed by the traveller: from Grenoble through the Chartreuse Mountains to La Grande Chartreuse, and from there to Geneva, Coppet and Ferney, then back to Montmélian from the Simplon Pass and through the Great St Bernard Pass, Maurienne Valley and Mont Cenis Pass to Turin. He demonstrates that Łucja Rautenstrauch often followed routes marked by famous events and distinguished people, choosing sites associated with such figures as Napoleon I, Voltaire, de Staël and Rousseau or with well-known literary works (The New Heloise, The Prisoner of Chillon). In her memoirs Rautenstrauch described the conditions and ways of travelling, local inhabitants (highlanders but also midgets, people affected by cretinism, a congenital disease) as well as Alpine nature. She paid particular attention to views of streams and rivers, precipices, ruins, sunsets, valleys, mountain passes and Mont Blanc, stressing, first of all, the wildness and danger of the mountains. In the Alps and beyond the Alps is thus an expression of the Romantic vogue for travelling, presenting an original image of the Alps in Polish literature – an image presented from the point of view of a woman.

The Alps played an important part in the work of Lithuanian authors. By travelling to Switzerland, they became acquainted with Western culture, acquired knowledge at prestigious universities and admired the picturesque views of the highest mountains of Europe, which they would later describe in their work. What is also important is the fact that the Swiss and Alpine landscapes would bring to the minds of the poets and writers interested in them reflections on Lithuania. For several generations it became a constant point of reference, very important and necessary during the fight for national identity. References to Lithuanian images set against the background of foreign, though valued landscapes well-known in Europe were perhaps attempts to draw people’s attention to the beauty of Lithuania in a broader perspective of the continent, to elevate a territory located on its peripheries.

This paper deals with metaphors (fad-words and travelling concepts) as encountered in the field of musicology, highlighting how and when certain concepts and ideas were borrowed and/or appropriated from other disciplines. It is claimed that by creating its unique jargon (abounding with discipline-specific metaphors) musicology has proved the facilitating role of metaphors in the communication between musicologists, music lovers, music critics etc. It is also argued that while transgressing the borders of disciplines, metaphors have helped to establish and ossify typically musicological methodology and tools of analysis.

The study is based on the thesis that travelling has become a part of the process of globalization. On the one hand, it avers the unbridled tourism while on the other hand one can see wanderlust as a state of soul. The text pays attention to the second line, observing the fortunes of Helena Šťastná-Bübelová, an important Czech traveller, who was travelling through Central Africa between 1946 and 1947. After February 1948, she became an expatriate; before settling in the south of France at Cap Ferat near Nice (1965), she worked in Kenya, got married, and lived with her second husband in Madagascar for many years (1953-1964). The study is based on the personal experience of the traveller in various civilizations. In addition to the materials obtained from Helena Šťastná-Bübelová, (written materials: correspondence, notes, and her African diary published in book form), the study also includes the observations of her friends, for example traveller Miroslav Zikmund.

The paper aims to explore Slovak villagers' attitudes towards travelling and tourism during the period of the late socialism. Travelling and tourism might have been perceived as expressions of urban life style, the way of spending free time, or the recreational activities connected with travelling. The author considers his personal experience during the 1970s and 1980s. As a young tourist he was confronted with the attitudes of the Slovak official representatives towards a life style that was rather strange for them. When the conservative inhabitants of Slovak country-side were confronted with the young people from the urban families brought up on the Seton's principles of living in natural environment, the similar clash of two systems of values or two different life perspectives occurred. The author completes his observations by two ethnographic descriptions of the episodes that took place during his long-term field research of Slovak highlanders in the second half of the 1980s.

The study describes the nature and destiny of the art heritage of Russian aristocrat Natalia Ivanovna Ivanov (1801–1850) and her foster father, a French Earl Xavier de Maistre (1763–1852). Natalia I. Ivanov was the first wife of Baron Gustav Friesenhof (1807–1889), who in 1846 bought a renaissance manor in Brodzany, the territory of Ponitrie. The heritage consisting particularly of art albums, herbaria and manuscripts that originated against the background of two phenomena of Russian culture and history, namely the activities of a Russian art community living in the territories now forming Italy in the first half of the 19th century and the journeys of Russian aristocrats in Western and Southern Europe, especially in the Italian Peninsula, the place where Natalia I. Ivanov and Xavier de Maistre were living in 1826–1838. The study reflects activities of Earl de Maistre and N. I. Ivanov during the above- mentioned period in the company of Russian aristocrats and diplomats as well as their art activities together with important Russian artists, such as Orest A. Kiprensky and Karl P. Briullov or the representatives of the Naples art school Posillipo and French painters. The art heritage mirroring a unique combination of Slovak environment together with Russian aristocracy and Russian and Italian artistic circles is today presented in the Slavic Museum of A. S. Pushkin in Brodzany.
