One of the most important problems tackled in Conrad’s prose is the process of decision-making, its contextuality and dramatism determined by the cognitive crisis. A presentation of this process, its embodiment requires an implementation of means characterised by a wide interpretative margin, and yet distinctive enough to establish clear limits of such a margin. The article indicates the form and aesthetics of opera to be an interesting tool capable of capturing an ever-present in Conrad’s work, its multi-layered dialogue, or perhaps sometimes conflict, about philosophical topics. In such an instrument, music, disentangled from its merely ornamental function, becomes a separate and equal voice.
Artykuł podejmuje próbę zidentyfikowania cech dystynktywnych dla nurtu pisarstwa III pokolenia po Holokauście na podstawie powieści Jonatana Safrana Foera Wszystko jest iluminacją, otwierającej i ustanawiającej zasadnicze cechy jego poetyki. Doświadczenie utraty, bezradności, panplagiatowości i poszukiwania sensu manifestuje się w różnego rodzaju zabiegach prozatorskich, prowadząc ostatecznie przez abdukcyjne meandry rozumowania do afirmacji życia.

The article tries to identify distinctive features for the current of writing of the 3rd generation after the Holocaust on the basis of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Everything Is Illuminated that opens and establishes the basic features of his poetics. The experience of a loss, helplessness, panplagiarism and of searching for the meaning is manifested in various prose devices, ultimately leading through abductive meanders of reasoning to the affirmation of life.
