O rolach pisarza postmodernisty Czubała, Henryk The author presents advertising and marketing strategies used by Polish writers, as well as persuasion techniques as manifestations of a new role of the writer in the post-modernist culture, which is being formed nowadays. The subject matter of the analysis and interpretation is the role of the writer as seducer and persuasion means of appealing to the reader. The author considers these new phenomena as factors enriching literature, which possess also nihilistic, destructive aspects with reference to traditional functions of art, and especially its ability to appeal to metaphysical sensitivity.

According to the author himself ‘saga’ is not so much a genologic name as it is the publisher’s marketing device to define this as fantasy. The sylvic nature of the Saga of the Wizard is clearly reflected in its multi-genre character. Characters’ actions are the motivating force in the presentation of the richness of depicted reality, in which the Saga... resembles an epic. The fantastic vein in the novel excludes references to real historic facts; almost all events, languages, literary and scientific works (including historic ones) alluded to in the text belong to the created world and their status is pseudo- authentic. Magic present in the Saga... is set in the fantasy context, which contributes to the parabolic readings of Sapkowski’s book. Stories of a wizard are related to fairy tales, however they violate ethical determinism of the latter. Fairy tales aim at an axiological target in the plot whereas Sapkowski”s novel can be classified, according to Stanisław Lem’s typology, a game with a non-zero total. A characteristic feature of the Saga is an excessive and ostentatious use of literature by other authors and of different epochs. Sapkowski uses ready prefabricated products delivered equally by high and mast- culture. The compilative nature of the novel and unusual multi-level, meandering narrative determine epistemological incapability, cognitive chaos and ironic tones in Sapkowski’s book.

W poszukiwaniu utraconej tożsamości Sosin, Beata Klaudia The article participates in the ‘post-modernist debate’ and attempts to look into the issue of post-modernism in the Polish native environment. The problems emerge as a result of the analysis of the novel by Olga Tokarczuk entitled Dom dzienny, dom nocny. Intertextuality, which is the author’s intentional devise, is the main issue here together with the function of discourse. Dialogues, quotations and literary allusions designate a multi- level reception of the work. The problem that comes into play is the boundary between originality and intertextual connotations introduced by the author. The important part comes with the analysis of the motif of home and the categories of time and space that are especially important and characteristic of the novel. Home perceived as the ‘universe’ makes us consider the longing for the lost identity and condition of the man at the end of the 20th century. The sense of roots and uprooting, mythological interpretation of the home, and finally the world conceived as a puzzle call for the discussion about conflicting global and identity tendencies. The article attempts to answer the question of what this ‘true home’ is and what it is like.

O prozie Andrzeja Stasiuka Małek, Bogumiła The prose of Andrzej Stasiuk does not undergo easy interpretation and description. Stasiuk’s subsequent works seem to follow different aesthetic formulas and different narrative rules. Dukla adds a new principle of anti- featureness and fragmentarism to prior searches within the genre of small narrative forms and novels. The narrative focuses on the description of a small provincial town, things and places that the narrator can see, record and juxtapose accidentally, apparently with no plan. However, the details of the presentation, narrative returns to place and things already described, their emotional colouring transform the provincial everyday reality into the world full of hidden magic meanings that are not named.
