Summary/Abstract: The study is devoted to the circumstances under which the pilgrimage of Jan Neruda was realised and the reality described in his Pictures from Abroad. The author analyzes the system of the narratological aspects of Neruda’s travel causeries and the semantic components of his short stories Various People, directly related to his travel causeries. The analysis of the poetics of Neruda’s travel sketches allows us to include them in the genealogy of this genre from H. Heine to Karel Čapek.
