Presentation of Slavic stereotypes in the publication "Painted Birds"

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the paper is to present the representation of Slavic stereotypes in the publication The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosiński. Slavic stereotypes, which are part of the mentioned artistic narrative, are divided into six areas: 1) Diseases and their treatment, 2) How many years do I have left?, 3) Evil spirits, 4) Elements, 5) The cycle of nature, 6) Chris tians versus Jews. Each area of stereotypes is documented by quotations from the Kosiński´s narrative. Although the novel is classified primarily as a literary text with the Second World War theme, the war conflict does not form the main storyline, but forms a basis through which to develop general human themes, multiculturalism, multiethnicity or different perceptions of axiological, moral and ethical values and their position on the hierarchical ladder of individuals, through the presentation of selected Slavic stereotypes.
