Summary/Abstract: The article offers a proposal of using essay, within high school Polish studies, as a genre which is diverse formally and substantially, hybrid and cerebral, still, useful in a teaching practice. The wide range of essayistic forms is limited to the so-called "Polish essay" – the notion introduced and defined by Czesław Miłosz. An example of genre implementation and a subject of analysis is his own essay entitled Dostojewski – discussing the selected aspects of life and writings of the Russian writer and, most of all, presenting his image from the subjective perspective of the Polish Nobel prize winner.
