Cold Eye of Heaven pokazuje Dublin przed brexitem, zanurzony w niepokojach po Celtyckim Tygrysie. Powieść opowiada historię przeciętnego człowieka, Charleya Graingera, zwanego Farleyem, od momentu śmierci do jego przyjścia na świat. Sposób prowadzenia narracji odnosi się zarówno do Joyce’owskiego monologu wewnętrznego, pokazując starcze zagubienie bohatera w meandrach (nie)pamięci, jak i do realistycznego opisu zmian, jakie zaszły we dzisiejszym Dublinie. Niniejszy artykuł jest porównawczą analizą powieści poprzez tropy labiryntu i miasta. Nasycone odnośnikami do współczesności, np. do obecności emigrantów, obserwacje Hickey są zgodne z poglądami Joyce’a dotyczącymi antynacjonalizmu, oferując nostalgiczny obraz nieuchronnej ekonomicznej transformacji.

Cold Eye of Heaven (2011) shows pre-Brexit Dublin steeped in the post-Celtic Tiger anxieties. The novel narrates the life of a contemporary Everyman, Charley Grainger, known as Farley, from his final moments back to his childhood. Thus, Farley’s journey envisages both a Joycean interior monologue depicting his old-age bafflement in the meanders of memory and a realistic description of the character’s bewilderment at the changes in the cityscapes of the Dublin of 2010. The present paper is a comparative study of the first two chapters of the novel in reference to the history of the city present in the entire text, through the use of the tropes of the mental and urbane labyrinths. Imbued with the allusions to current reality, i.e., the presence of immigrants, Hickey’s observations are in line with Joycean anti-nationalism, as the story offers a nostalgia-stricken picture of the inevitable economic transformation of the metropolis.

Orhan Pamuk, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006, is one of the most interesting and versatile of contemporary writers whose prose contributes to the understanding of the cultural background of the Orient and the Occident forged out of the juxtaposition of Islam and Christianity. As a might-have-been artist, who is currently an amateur photographer, the author, in an uncommon way, visualizes the continual wonder towards colors in the surrounding reality featuring in his fictional and non-fictional texts. The most important aspects of Pamuk’s works, however, are the journeys near and far and those within oneself, as well as the wanderings through cities, especially those of his native Istanbul. Aside from the returns home and to the motherland, Pamuk contrasts the inspiring voyages out with the voyages into the collective and individual past, in all their historical and political complexity. The present paper is an overview of Orhan Pamuk’s works from the perspective of colors and the aforesaid passages, which remind his readers of travelling as a basic topos of the course of human existence.
