Summary/Abstract: In this article I analyse two newest books by Małgorzata Musierowicz from the series Jeżycjada:Wnuczka do orzechów (2014) and Feblik(2015). Action of Jeżycjada takes place in Poznań and its surroundings. Actually in the last two books action takes place mainly in this surroundings – at the countryside. Borejko family (main characters of the series) is spending there definitely more time than in the city. Seniors decided to go out of city. The result od this decision is that the centre of characters’ life has relocated. City is described as human’s enemy and countryside as a friendly space. In my article I interpret fragments which are describing this two areas. I answer the question why characters decided to move out form Poznań and stay at the countryside and how this change affects Borejko family.
