Neognoza Jakuba Böhmego a III część „Dziadów” Adama Mickiewicza. Wola, upadek człowieka i naśladowanie Chrystusa
Jakub Böhme’s Neognosis and Adam Mickiewicz’s Forefathers’ Eve. Part III. Will, Human Fall and Christ’s Imitation

Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to briefly outline the problem of the incompatibility of Polish and Ukrainian national myths that influenced reception of the novel With Fire and Sword (Ogniem i mieczem) in Ukraine. While for Henryk Sienkiewicz the Cossacks were just one of the social groups and Ruthenians were an ethnicity, for Ukrainians the Cossacks became the core of their national identity. Furthermore, several concrete Ukrainian responses to the novel that appeared during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are analysed in the paper.
