Oswajanie przestrzeni Islandii w piśmiennictwie polskim. Rekonesans
The Taming of Space of Iceland in Polish Literature. Reconnaissance

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article discusses in a chronological order the literature on Icelandwritten in Polish starting from the seventeenth-century account of the journey to the islandby Daniel Vetter. Most attention is devoted to the accounts created in the second half ofthe twentieth (reports by Lucjan Wolanowski and Polish sailors) and at the beginning of thetwenty-first century. Recent publications are largely based on blog experiences. In quantitativeas well as qualitative terms, we observe the perspective of changing the geographical andcultural imagination of Polish literature at the beginning of the 21st century: within theNorth-South axis one can notice the recently emerging diagonal axis linking Poland withIceland. It is worth examining this issue in more detail in a while.
