Summary/Abstract: The following article analyses literary strategies applied by Antoni Edward Odyniec in his Listy z podróży [Letters from a Journey] and Wspomnienia z przeszłości [Recollections from the Past] in reference to Adam Mickiewicz. The author takes a closer look at the tricks Odyniec delivered in his poetry in order to establish a remarkable friendship with Mickiewicz, referring to the poem Mój płaszcz [My Coat] included in Wspomnienia z przeszłości [Recollections from the Past]. The aim of this analysis is to unveil Odyniec’s literary mystification he committed by giving the early 1830s as the time of writing the poem. The author of this article explains why Odyniec camouflaged traces of his literary mystifications and shows that for a conscientious and perceptive reader they were obviously comprehensible tokes of a literary convention.
