The author of the article focuses on the biography and prose of Włodzimierz Odojewski – one of the most important contemporary Polish writers. Since 2008, his literary archive has been collected at the Faculty of Polish and Classical Philology at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The aim of the work is to indicate how archival collection can be used in the didactic work at various stages of education. The text is, as well, a kind of proposal for teachers how to familiarize students with Odojewski’s work. First part of the article shows the documents (manuscripts, typescripts, correspondence related to stages of writer’s life cycle) as a source of knowledge about the author’s life and history of his literary output, and also describes some of the archivist’s tasks. The second outlines the places in Greater Poland significant for the writer – Poznań and Kłecko, described in his short stories. These stories are examples of individual memory saved in literary texts.

Autorka artykułu skupia się na biografii i prozie Włodzimierza Odojewskiego – jednego z najważniejszych współczesnych polskich pisarzy. Od 2008 jego spuścizna literacka jest gromadzona na Wydziale Filologii Polskiej i Klasycznej Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu. Celem pracy jest wskazanie, jak zbiór archiwalny może być wykorzystany w dydaktyce na różnych etapach kształcenia. Tekst stanowi również swego rodzaju propozycję dla nauczycieli, jak zaznajomić uczniów i studentów z twórczością Odojewskiego. Część pierwsza pokazuje dokumenty archiwalne (rękopisy, maszynopisy, korespondencję powstałe w różnych etapach życia pisarza) jako źródło wiedzy o biografii autora i dziejach jego twórczości, jak również przybliża pracę archiwisty. Druga część przedstawia znaczące dla Odojewskiego miejsca w Wielkopolsce, opisane w jego opowiadaniach, które stanowią indywidualne zapisy pamięci zachowane w tekstach literackich.

The article tries to indicate the traces of Norwid's interest in the culture of India. From the writings left by the poet it appears that India was not the main subject of his research. A chapter of the unfinished treatise Sztuka w obliczu dziejów (Art in the Face of History) (1850) is an exception here; Norwid devoted a fragment of the work to Indian art. From the fragment it appears that the author of Quidam had sufficient knowledge about India to formulate critical opinions concerning old caste laws interpreted in terms of Norwid's conceptions of art-work and of the dogma. Also, in Notatki z mitologii (Notes on Mythology) there are sporadic, laconic remarks containing information about Indian art. The notes that are apparently out of context form a certain logical whole polarizing Norwid's views and systematizing his knowledge about the country on the Ganges, or about Orient in general. Certainly one may not speak about complete knowledge here, but the remarks noted by the poet are the essence of a particular problem Norwid knew more or less about. They are: Indian art and architecture, the crisis of art in the face of the schism, the caste system, old-Indian authoritative literature, the Hindu tradition and the Buddhist movement. Norwid's knowledge of particular works of architecture is proven by Skorowidz (Index), where the most important architectural features of ancient India are mentioned: Ellora, Vishvakarma, Nashik, Jayanti in the province of Aurangabad, Elephanta and Salsette islands, Karla in Khandala, Dhumar and Panch Pandu Shrine in the province of Malwa, the famous “Seven Pagodas” of Mahabalipuram, Siringam and Bhagwati in Tanjore in Ceylon. The author's footnotes reveal a wealth of sources used by Norwid. We find here, among others, references to ancient authors, to the 18th century explorer of India – John Zephanian Holwell, or to the lectures by Max Müller. The notes suggest that he also might have known original fragments of Rigveda. The poet also refers several times to Aranyakas – “Forest Books”, that preceded Upanishads, and his knowledge of the Vedic Hymn to Speech could have influenced the Norwidian theory of free speech. Norwid's Indian episodes, succinctly marked in the notes, reveal another, still not very well known, image of the author of Vade-mecum.

The article is a collection of thoughts that transpired during the work at the Archive of Włodzimierz Odojewski. The aim of the authors was to identify and indicate the potential ways to study the life and works of the writer, and the expected result of the research is a biography of Odojewski. The research was based on the exploration of the writer’s private collection: unpublished documents, manuscripts, typescripts, personal papers, correspondence, family and estate papers and photographs. The authors focused on a number of issues. One, the biographical facts that influenced Odojewski’s output – World War II, frequent relocations, censorship and a ban on publishing in Poland, emigration, the relation with the Polish Institute in Maisons-Laffitte and working at Radio Free Europe’s editorial office. Two, the analysis of literary works including hundreds of typescripts in many variants (related to the phases of the genetic history of a literary work through the stages of Odojewski’s life) which allowed for describing Odojewski’s writing techniques. Three, ‘The writer’s map’ which points out places important for the author – Poznań, Gniezno, Kłecko, Podole,Szczecin, Warsaw, Paris, Berlin, Munich. Four, the correspondence (personal and cultural) which can be used as an important source of knowledge of the history of Polish post-war emigration. One of the most interesting parts of the collection is a collection of letters from Jerzy Giedroyć that show Polish culture outside the Iron Curtain.
