In the article, I undertake to interpret Bruno Schulz’s prose using the methodological proposals introduced in the humanities by Gilbert Durand, a French anthropologist of imagination. Based on the implemented research perspective, the aim of the hermeneutics of The Street of Crocodiles and Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass was to unveil and discuss the imagined figures which form the anthropological network of meanings. The purpose of the array of anthropological and myth-criticism research tools used for analysing and interpreting the literary works which constitute the core of Polish literature was to define the author as an imagination phenomenon that seems to fill a research gap visible in Polish Schulz studies.

The biography of Boleslaw Lesmian (1877–1937) shows a maladjustment of artist to reality. The Poet escapes to the world of imagination — an alternative reality where he could be settled. In Boleslaw Lesmian’s imaginary the human way leads to the archetypal forest. The image of the forest, implanted deeply in culture as a place for outlaws (Robin Hood), fugitives (Tristan and Isolde) and knights-errant (Parsifal) is transformed by Lesmian. In the Lesmian’s imaginary the forest takes a new semantic dimension and becomes one of the main symbols as the Epiphany of the Mother Earth (Tellus Mater, Pammetor Ge). The analyses, presented in this article, shows that act of wandering in the forest paths is the symbol of a human way which leads to self-knowledge. For Lesmian, who was lost in everyday life, an archetypal figure of Mother Earth has an important therapeutic value. A methodological framework for the discussion is based on the concepts offered by Gilbert Durand, a French philosopher of culture. Anthropology of imagination as a method of literary studies focuses on mundus imaginalis of the author, understood as a manifestation of symbolic powers of imagination and the artist is perceived as an imaginative phenomenon. In the anthropological and myth-critical studies a canonical definition of myth is adopted after Gilbert Durand, where myth is a dynamic system of symbols (mythical figures), archetypes and imagery constituting narrations permanently incorporated into the culture. In Durand’s perspective, mythical figure (figure mythique) is an archetype imagery (image archétype) capable of being expressed at the language level. Imagination is understood as the Consciousness Breeding Imagery. Imagery provide a structure capable of transformations, enabling decomposition and transformation of imagery in cultural texts and their literary palingenesis.

The article deals with Chamoiseau’s Creole imaginary. The text especially presents and analyzes certain important issues with which Chamoiseau tries to cope all his life: the imaginary of Caribbean memory. In the novels Chronicle of the Seven Sorrows (1986), Slave Old Man (1997), Biblical Tales of the Last Gestures (2002), A Sunday in the Dungeon (2007), the notion of invisible memory is the central topic. The French humanist author presents a similar concept of approach to memory like Édouard Glissant (Caribbean Discourse).
