Koncepcja ludzkiego domu w pismach Stanisława Vincenza

Summary/Abstract: The author addresses the idea of home, as it is expressed in the writings of Stanisław Vincenz, in particular in the fi rst volume of his tetralogy Na wysokiej połoninie [On the High Uplands: Sagas, Songs, Tales and Legends of the Carpathians]. The aim of the article is to show how the image of the house (and, at the same time, of home) is part of the idea of the world conceived of as a family, where the human being is not alienated but rather deeply connected to the whole universe. The refl ection on home provides the basis for a discussion of the place of the human being in the world. The protagonists of Vincenz’s prose never consider themselves as independent and unconditioned subjects but realize that their lives are part of the history of the world and of humankind; they are also aware that the natural order belongs to the supernatural order of the Cosmos, which is seen as the work of the Creator. The images of ‘house’ and ‘home’ created by Vincenz may be considered also as a mirror for the contemporary technological society.
