Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the book Donikąd (To Nowhere. Journey to the Edge of Russia, 2019) by Polish philosopher, philologist, and traveler Michał Milczarek. The author of the article pays attention to the narrator’s image, the motif of a road, and the term “nowhere”. The author argues that the writer’s perception is rooted in the child’s phantasmatization (phantasm) and philosophical concepts of existentialism, most importantly Martin Heidegger’s ideas of “the hiddenness of being” and nothingness.
