„Pan Tadeusz” by Adam Mickiewicz: „old” – „new” reading

Abstract

In the article „Pan Tadeusz” by Adam Mickiewicz: „old” - „new” reading, the author presented the contextual reading of the epic at school through the prism of the works of Czesław Miłosz (metaphysical and epaphysical reading) and Tomasz Różycki (postmodern epic). The adopted perspective allows us to show the timelessness of the works of Czesław Miłosz (metaphysical and epaphysical reading) and Tomasz Różycki (postmodern epic). The adopted perspective allows us to show the timelessness of the work of a romantic artist, the value of narration as a story about Poland and Poles, as well a story about an individual’s fate and its search for a universal meaning of one’s own existenc.
