Summary/Abstract: Paweł Goźlinski’s historical novel Jul was published in 2010. It centres around the life and works of Juliusz Słowacki, the Polish emigre community in Paris in 1845, unusual events, crime and detective work to find the truth. Literary fiction and truth are interwoven, thus creating a space for so-called alternative memory. The significance of the work as a whole is a way of paying homage to Słowacki, expressed in the language of a contemporary novel.
