The article concerns Marian Pankowski, a special case in the history of 20th-century Polish literature. His uniqueness was due to the fact that the writer published books both in Poland and during his emigration, which he chose, but which he did not belong to. This was the reason why he stopped collaborating with the Polish centres in Paris and London. Pankowski settled down in Brussels and became an “artist apart,” suspended between the exile and the homeland. This allowed him to maintain a healthy distance to important national themes, to challenge Polish stereotypes and use provocative language.

The article concerns with still not well-known part of the artistic work of Zdzisław Beksiński (a famous photographer, painter and graphic designer). In the 1960s the artist was occupied with literature as well. He wrote short prose which reflected many modern literary fashions and trends, and even anticipated some of them. In his literary works Beksiński was especially influenced by the suggestive aesthetics of the onirism, geometric architecture, and anti-Utopian novels. Sometimes, his narration refers to modern pop culture: the technique of film or the convention of comic strips; what is more, he applies the style of commercials and propaganda slogans. The artist from Sanok also adored writing different variations of the same story which let him play with various genres and plots. But, whatever he did, it was all about the construction, the form. His literary texts record their narrator’s consciousness in a minimalist way, without any traditional literary frills. Therefore Beksiński unconsciously realized the idea postulated at the same time by Cortazar: each prose work should not be a “sum”, but rather a kind of “difference”. This prose substantially complements our knowledge of the whole art of Beksiński, a natural genius, and remains another alternative part of his creative activities.

The article is concerned with quite forgotten character and work of PierreJean Georges Cabanis, a physician and philosopher, but also a strongsupporter of the French Revolution from the turn of the 18th and 19thcenturies. His main scientific opus was the dissertation On the relationsbetween the physical and moral aspects of man (Rapports du physique et dumoral de l’homme) first published in 1802 and then repeatedly resumedin the 19th century, but virtually unknown in Poland. His medical pointsof view originally corresponded with materialistic philosophy; however,they also took into account the role of the spiritual and mental aspectsof a human – this “biological, thinking mechanism”, as Cabanis thought.An important role in his book was played by theories related to sensualism.Using modern terms, Cabanis created something like physiological psychology. According to him, the body, or more precisely its organs, take part in the creation of human thoughts which seem to be only the physiologicalresult of brain perception. This classic work was often invoked by successive generations of doctors and thinkers; it even appeared in artistic prose. Cabanis himself has had a fixed position in research and scientific studies for over two centuries.
