The article analyses the image of the Carpathians in Józef Symeon Bogucki’s novel Rodin, czyli duch na drodze pokuty [Rodin or the Penitent Spirit] (1846). The first of the eight volumes of the work presents the story of the protagonists travelling from Kraków to the Tatra peaks and to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. The novel was part of a trend, increasingly popular at the time, of writing about the mountains, although the author himself probably did not manage to visit the areas he described, having spent most of his life in Warsaw. In addition to analysing the descriptions of the mountain areas, the author of the present article tries to trace the sources of Józef Symeon Bogucki’s inspiration. It is highly likely that Bogucki may have got his information from Wspomnienia z Wenecyi, kolei żelaznej lipnicko-wiedeńskiej, Wiednia, Karpat Wadowickich, Frankfurtu nad Menem i przelotu z Krakowa do Tatr spiskich by Ludwik Pietrusiński, memoirs published a year before the premiere of Rodin.

In various legends and literary works the mountains often served as a place where time travel was possible, as they provided security for protagonists falling into deep sleep for years. It is no coincidence that legends of sleeping knights often place them in the mountains. In 1826 a rumour spread that Roger Dodsworth, who had been buried in an avalanche over 100 years earlier, came to life. The news was circulated by the press across Europe and attracted the interest of Mary Shelley, who devoted a short story to it. The present article is an analysis of press stories concerning the famous hibernatus and the story by the English writer, who saw the popular rumours as a background for reflections on a man from a different period transferred into the future, as well as an attempt to define the role of the mountains in the writings on Dodsworth.
