Summary/Abstract: The topic of the article is Krzysztof P. Czyżewski’s book – Izabela. Świat w płomieniach [Izabela. The World in Flames]. The author tries to show how the writer used the figures of memory (protagonist’s name and fictional breastpin) to create a historical novel with literary regionalism themes. The object of reflection is the main character’s creation and its influence on the perception of an Enlightenment Era and regionalist motives. Considerations are summed up by referring to cultural memory theory.
