Summary/Abstract: The article presents an interpretation of two different adaptations, Jerzy Zarzycki’s (1966) and Izabella Cywińska’s (2006), of Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s novella "Lovers of Marona". The author, taking into the account historical change in how literature is adapted for the screen, contrasts these two very different readings of Iwaszkiewicz’s work. By extracting autobiographical influences of Iwaszkiewicz from the narrative, she deconstructs the ways in which sexuality, embodiment and transformation of the identity of the main characters is portrayed.
