Abstract

This article is devoted to the process of transforming a personal narrative into a literary record. The analysis covers the attitudes of Jerzy Stempowski contained in the autobiographical journal entitled Notes for the ghost. It describes the relationship between the writer and the eponymous Zjawa, as well as the mourning process that followed her death. The main goal is to try to determine which of the attitudes is dominant. The problem of the recipient of the work as well as the intention with which it was written, is also raised.
