| dc.description.abstract | The draft is a linguistic and interdisciplinary reflection on one of the Polish northern
borderland manor houses “saved from falling into oblivion” by verbalisation of: a) its
architectonic elements: kolumnowy ganek (portico), podwójne drzwi (double door), gzyms
kominka (fireplace mantel), kominek (fireplace); b) rooms: biblioteka (library), jadalnia
(dining-room), kącik prasowy (press reading corner), pokoje (rooms), gabinet entomologiczny
(entomological study), spiżarnia (larder); c) furniture: fotele (armchairs), kanapa (sofa),
sekretarzyk (escritoire), rozkładany stół (gate-leg table), as well as family and patriotic
atmosphere of the place, celebrated holidays and festivities. Verbal nostalgic-retrospective
impressions of Zofia Brzozowska preserved in Impresje czombrowskie make it possible to
recreate a unique aura of the house of the Karpowiczes. The house was probably a literary-
-cultural prototype of Soplicowo from Sir Thaddeus as in the past the house had been an
estate of the family of Adam Mickiewicz’s godmother – Aniela Uzłowska. | en_EN |
