Summary/Abstract: The article describes some of the circumstances of the formation of creative people, which is also something that Florian Znaniecki and Pierre Bourdieu turned attention to within their sociological theories. The main aim behind this article was to look into both the conditions that create artists and the analysis of Zaniecki’s claims which are related to the social circles of artists. The author of this text has also emphasised the relationship between achieving success and the reflexivity of the subject, which, in turn, is connected with the analysis of the literary field in terms of Bourdieu’s theory. However, the key issue of this article is the very question of achieving success.
