W „Drohobyczach” – wokół zbioru poetyckiego Serhija Żadana
In the “Cities” of Drohobych: On Serhiy Zhadan’s Volume of Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is to analyse the cultural phenomenon of Drohobych (now part of Ukraine), a small city where Bruno Schulz – a great European/Jewish/Polish writer – lived and died during the Second World War. The first part of this text contains reflections on literary visions of Drohobych (written by e.g. Andrzej Chciuk, Yurii Andrukhovych, Henryk Grynberg). In the second part of the article, the author proposes an interpretation of the volume of selected poems written in 2014–2016 by a Ukrainian poet Serhiy Zhadan and titled Drohobych (Drohobycz, translated into Polish by Jacek Podsiadło). All those writers treat Drohobych as “Bruno Schulz’s place,” full of his traces and created by his prose.
