Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the representations of Siberian landscape in Juliusz Słowacki’s Anhelli (1838). In Słowacki’s poetic imaginary, Siberia transformsin to the desert. This poetic vision invites a consideration of several themes that are crucial for Słowacki’s mystical philosophy: the poet’s religious breakthrough, his multiple artistic creations, and the experience of the body. In the article, Anhelli is analyzed in the context of Christology andthe experiences of Christian mystics. In this approach, the poem becomes an announcement of the religious turn in Słowacki’s spiritual and creative biography.
