The sketch makes an attempt to build a new typology of female characters in Andrzej Kuśniewicz’s selected novels with a view to the functions they perform. The author lists five main functions which women undertake in selected texts, and they are as follows: woman as an absentee, woman as the one who adopts male symbolism, woman as a projection of male fantasy, femininity as a threat, and woman as an element of biology. Such ordering, according to the author, makes it possible to join the numerous features and cultural meanings usually ascribed to “the second sex,” thus facilitating a broader analysis of the women protagonist’s embroilment in the matters created by males, not limited to one only feature. In the second part of the paper the author proposes some interpretations of selected figures with resort to the described methodology and enriching it with the tools developed by gender and men studies.

Polish prose of the First World War is mostly associated with the Polish Legions. Agnieszka Prószyńska has established that works showing battles of the Polish Legions and other national volunteer formations have similar qualities, so they can be considered a separate genre of literature. Narration specifications, motives and axiological context that demonstrate genological specificity of the Legions-oriented prose, are also visible in works written by Poles who were fighting on the frontlines as soldiers of regular armies. That is why introducing the concept of “Soldier’s Prose of the World War I” is reasonable. Andrzej Kuśniewicz’s novel Lekcja martwego języka (Lesson of a Dead Language) includes many motives from soldier’s literature. The most characteristic are: railway, soldier, child, and landscape destroyed by war. These motives are developed in Kuśniewicz’s prose by the adaptation laws, described by Iwona Puchalska as «re-creation».

The paper is devoted to The King of Two Sicilies – a novel from 1970 by Andrzej Kuśniewicz. The novel is analyzed as an intertextual, historiographic metanovel, depicting the relations between a single subject, its memory, marked by distortions of transgenerational transmissions, and the historical events it is entangled in. Special attention has been given to those aspects of the novel which, as Paul Coates suggests, make its narrative structure similar to a movie’s structure. The concepts of Siegfried Kracauer, alongside those of Nicolas Abraham and Mária Török, have been also used in the interpretation. These are also the authors of two crucial terms: monogram and cryptonym.

Artykuł poświęcony jest powieści Andrzeja Kuśniewicza z 1970 roku zatytułowanej Król Obojga Sycylii. Jest ona analizowana jako intertekstualna metapowieść historiograficzna mówiąca o relacji między pojedynczym podmiotem, jego zniekształconą i naznaczoną przez transgeneracyjne przekazy pamięcią oraz zdarzeniami historycznymi, w które jest uwikłany. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono tym aspektom utworu, które zbliżają jego narracyjną strukturę do narracji filmowej, zgodnie z sugestią Paula Coatesa. W interpretacji wykorzystano również koncepcje Siegfrieda Kracauera oraz Nicolasa Abrahama i Marii Török. Od tych autorów pochodzą ponadto kluczowe dla wywodu pojęcia monogramu i kryptonimu.
