Pamięć rozpisana na problem. O Sienkiewiczowskiej parafrazie fragmentu Mickiewiczowskich „Dziadów"
Memory written out in the problem. About Sienkiewicz’s paraphrase of the fragment of Mickiewicz’s ”Dziady”

Summary/Abstract: The memory among descendants, mostly combined with fame and greatness, pride or humility, egocentric or civic attitude as a main attribute of person who seeks ”long memory” is sometimes inscribed into an awkward and global dilemma. Such problem is the issue of my article based on Sienkiewicz’s memory perceived in his texts, literary genres and the style of language expression. Carefully looking at the careers of well known people of his era and also waiting for his long lasting success, Sienkiewicz tried to discuss and solve an uneasy question in Ogniem i mieczem, referred to Mickiewicz’s Dziady. The issue can be defined as a difficult process of forming self-definition in the process of choice between human and civic attitude placed between polar opposites: egocentric — looking for fame and publicity or ”blessed quiet” truly loving homeland and common interests.
