The Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASL) manages a significant collection of books on aeronautics. The collection was assembled by the collector Eduard Langer more than a hundred years ago. Its part kept in the ASL consists of 67 printed books in 61 volumes. These are rarely preserved books from the 18th and 19th centuries in Italian, French, English, German and Latin. No other such extensive collection on this topic has been found in domestic libraries, and, although it is only a part of Langer’s original collection, it bears comparison even with collections of world-famous institutions. The text presents this remarkable collection in terms of provenance, authors and genres and is complemented by a list of printed books.

The paper presents an analysis of the protagonist of Tajemnica Lorda Singelworth [Lord Singleworth’s Secret] in terms of the 19th century imagology. The analysis shows that the character was created on the basis of stereotypes of the British that were popular in Europe at that time. They account for Singleworth’s oddities such as flying in a hot air balloon or his obsession with cleanliness. They also explain why the majority of those who observed Lord’s balloon passion unanimously accepted its surprising justification – the need to deal with his gastric problems. This is then complemented by the peculiar arrogance, moral motivation for action, sense of mission and escapism. The author of the paper assumes that the character of an Englishman developed in such a way and placed in Venice on the threshold of historical changes might be a literary self-portrait of Norwid.

W artykule poddano analizie postać głównego bohatera Tajemnicy Lorda Singelworth z perspektywy XIX-wiecznej imagologii. Z tej analizy wynika, że postać została skonstruowana z rozpowszechnionych w ówczesnej Europie stereotypów na temat Brytyjczyków. Tłumaczą one dziwactwa Singelwortha: latanie balonem, obsesję czystości. Wyjaśniają również, dlaczego większość obserwatorów balonowej pasji lorda zgodnie przyjmowała zaskakujące jej wyjaśnienie – pragnienie uregulowania kłopotów gastrycznych. Uzupełnia ten zestaw charakterystyczna wyniosłość, moralna motywacja działań, poczucie misji i eskapizm. Autor tekstu stawia tezę, że tak skonstruowana figura Anglika, umiejscowiona w Wenecji u progu historycznych zmian mogła być literackim autoportretem Norwida.
