In the content of the analysed work, references to the specific events and historical figures have been pointed out. It has also been emphasized that despite the dominance of ficitious elements, the writer familiarizes the young reader with the realia of the life of the Poles in distant past. The didactic character of the short stories has been ob-served.

Catholic abbeys destroyed during the 16th century reformation, as well as Orthodox abbeys abandoned in the 20th century, have recently become the centre of restoration movement in Estonia. Various institutions and people have contributed to the reviving of catholic-style pilgrimages, which are both organised institutionally and undertaken privately, sometimes differing from a sightseeing tour mainly in name. As the Estonian pilgrimage culture is re-arising, it is characterised by its oecumenical nature. In Estonia, the tradition of pilgrimages has been historically continuous only to the Orthodox abbeys of Kuremäe and Petseri (Pechory). Everything else is religion tourism. Both private and organised treks involve a geographically wide scope outside Estonia. The following pilgrimage destinations are compared: a) the Svete Gore sacral complex in Slovenia – a reanimated religious Catholic centre, b) key Orthodox centres in Bulgaria: the abbey and chapel of Rila Ivan, carrier of national identity, symbolic of religious continuity throughout the Middle Ages and modern times, and ancient cultural and religious sites of Momchilovtsi village chapels. The latter with its sacral architecture represent an expression of personal perception of religion, used as a building ground for tourism, specifically a village environment living off on religion tourism. The newest layer, the so-called secular pilgrimage sites, in which celebrations include many traits of festivals, is found in Kumrovec, where a monument was erected at the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito, the former president of Yugoslavia. The revival of pilgrimages shares many common traits in post-socialist countries. Of particular interest is the integration of existing and created natural and other sacred sites in the culture of new spiritual and religious movements.

The article aims to analyze the relationship between history and fiction in Amin Maalouf ’s novels. Fascinated by history and literature, the Franco-Lebanese writer, tries, in several of his works, to combine history and romance and to make real and fictitious characters coexist in one universe. However, far from being limited to a simple transcription of history, Amin Maalouf has set himself the audacious goal of shedding light on the other side of history, as it was seen and lived on the “other side”; and at the same time he tries to revive the memory of certain figures forgotten or even denigrated by the official historiography. Thus, by rediscovering and reinterpreting history from a new perspective, Amin Maalouf aspires to understand the present and to build bridges between the two shores of the Mediterranean, between the North and the South, and between the East and the West.

W artykule przeanalizowano ogólne cechy podań ludowych i literackich, w których bohaterowie pełnią główne funkcje formalne, narracyjne i symboliczne. Postacie podzielono na dwie grupy zgodnie z klasyfikacją J. Caro Baroja: z jednej strony rozważono przykłady, gdy w podaniach pojawiają się prawdziwe postacie historyczne (Lady Godiva, Napoleon Bonaparte); z drugiej strony wzięto pod uwagę archetypy bohaterów bez znaczenia historycznego (rozbójnik, czarownica, Żyd). Na podstawie tych przykładów rozpoczęto analizę porównawczą tego rodzaju podań w literaturze hiszpańskiej i białoruskiej, zarówno w prozie ludowej, jak i w literaturze pięknej, odzwierciedlonej w utworach Jana Barszewskiego i Gustava Adolfa Bécquera.

Our article explores the general features of folk and literary legends in which the characters perform the main formal, narrative and symbolic functions. We divided said characters into two groups according to the classification of J. Caro Baroja: on the one hand, we considered examples when real or fictional historical characters appear (Lady Godiva, Napoleon Bonaparte); on the other hand, we took into account some archetypes of characters of no historical significance (bandit, witch, Jew). Based on these examples, we began a comparative study of this type of legends in Spanish and Belarusian literature, both in folk prose and in authorial fiction, which is reflected in the works of Jan Barščeŭski and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer.

У артыкуле даследуюцца агульныя рысы паданняў у народнай і мастацкай літаратурах, у якіх дзейныя героі выконваюць галоўныя фармальныя, наратыўныя і сімвалічныя функцыі. Мы падзялілі герояў на дзве групы паводле класіфікацыі Х. Кара Барохі: з аднаго боку мы разгледзелі прыклады, у якіх рэальныя гістарычныя постаці з’яўляюцца ў паданнях (ледзі Годзіва, Напалеон Банапарт); з іншага ж боку, мы прынялі на ўвагу архетыпы герояў без гістарычнага значэння (бандыт, вядзьмарка, габрэй). На аснове пералічаных прыкладаў мы далі пачатак параўнальнаму аналізу гэтага тыпу паданняў у іспанскай і беларускай літаратурах, як у народнай прозе, так і ў мастацкай, адлюстраванай у творчасці Яна Баршчэўскага і Гус¬тава Адольфа Бэкера.
