Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is an analysis of artistic landscape’s creation in Stanisław Lem’s short novel entitled Wypadek (The Accident). In peculiar – special attention is devoted to those aspects of poetics, which are crucial to representation of creative acts of imagination and sensual experiences (other than of visual nature). The way, the scenery of the presented reality is shaped, seems to be an important medium of anthropological concepts, including the relation between experiencing the sublimity of nature and cognition and acting, as well as it appears to function as the space of meanings established by both – the efforts of memory and imagination and the carnal experience.
