Circularity of human fate in Jerzy Pietrkiewicz’s novel Inner Circle

Katarzyna Cieplińska

Abstract

In Jerzy Pietrkiewicz’s novel Inner Circle (1966) [Wewnętrzne koło] the author presents the problem of human loneliness. The book consists of three separate parts that refer respectively to the past, the present and potential future of mankind. In any location, the space bears the burden of the labyrinth evoking the characters’ strong feeling of alienation and confusion. The perception of the environment is highly subjective; yet, the predominating features of the surrounding world include seclusion and ceaseless feeling of encirclement.
