Summary/Abstract: This article provides an interpretation of the novel of Jerzy Limon Koncert Wielkiej Niedźwiedzicy. Kantata na jedną ulicę, siedem gwiazd i dwa głosy, which is an example of the literature of the topographical turn. This novel tells stories of one street in Sopot (Haffner street), where the author-narrator lives. This novel implements not only the assumptions of geo-poetics but may also be called geohistoriographic, since the author presents a geographic concrete, the space of a city as a conveyor of historic knowledge, for the geographic space is for Limon the text in which one may read the past. The subject matter of the novel is a street fulfilling just the function of a text, or actually text-palimpsest, which is composed with layers of meanings recorded by particular historic eras.
