A Man Facing the Rubicon. About Drama of Maturity in the Ostatnie rozdanie by Wiesław Myśliwski

Magdalena Dziugieł-Łaguna

Abstract

Ostatnie rozdanie by W. Myśliwski is a novel that bears a multi-level definition of maturity. The narrator - as in author's many former novels - is not a young person and notices the first symptoms of ageing in himself. It is much more revealed by permanent experiencing of chaos, void of life and death by the man. Therefore making orders in the address book - undertaken from time to time - and constituting an attempt of controlling the chaos ofreality, becomes an act of discovering oneself, an attempt to face the ghosts of remembrance, to enter the furthest recesses of consciousness in order to draw a picture of a rootless man, who in fact is homeless.

Keywords:

chaos, maturity, axiological void, ghosts of remembrance
