Summary/Abstract: The article discusses links between Tomasz Różycki’s „Bestiarium” [Bestiary] and Bruno Schulz’s texts. Special attention is paid to the motif of wandering (both physical and mental) that can be traced in those works. Another important issue is onirism, inter-textual references and ways of creating the depicted world (mythology of reality, particular motifs, props, schemes). Różycki presents himself as an artist aware of his own work and cultural achievements. He creates an original novel which, at the same time, is strongly rooted in tradition.
