Mickiewicz poetą mściwym czy nauczającym przebaczenia? W poszukiwaniu „trzeciej drogi” przekładu interkulturowego na przykładzie "Zdań i uwag" Adama Mickiewicza
Mickiewicz, a Poet of Vengeance or a Preacher of Forgiveness? In Search of a “Third Way” of Intercultural Translation on the Example of Adam Mickiewicz’s "Sentences and Remarks"

Summary/Abstract: The literature of Polish Romanticism, which Marta Piwińska called “a Renaissance of Christianity”, from the beginning of its presence in China has had a contrastingly different reception from that of Polish readers. This article offers a reading of Adam Mickiewicz’s "Zdania i uwagi. Z dzieł Jakuba Bema, Anioła Ślązaka (Angelus Silesus) i Sę-Martena" ["Sentences and Remarks. From the Works of Jakob Böhme, Angelus Silesius and Saint-Martin"], conducted so as to open up a space for reflection on a set of questions that are crucial to cross-cultural studies: Will cultural differences always impede intercultural translations and, by the same token, the reception of works originating from one tradition by readers from another? Is it possible to find a platform that would allow for a dialogue between an author rooted – often in a dialogical way – in the Christian Romantic tradition on the one hand and a reader brought up in the Confucian culture on the other? The aim of this article is to propose an answer to these questions.
