Summary/Abstract: The article is concerned with the function of the experience of exile that is a modeling one for literary epiphanies. The starting point is showing the significance of this experience in James Joyce’s presentation of epiphany that is a formative one for Moderrn literature. Examples from Czesław Miłosz’s and Zbigniew Herbert’s works are material for interpreting two important reinterpretations of epiphany grounded in the experience of exile.
