Abstract

The article aims to examine the modifications of the travel and adventure novel genre in Polish children’s and young adult literature from the 19th to the 21st century. At the centre of consideration are the 21st-century realisations, and their analysis was made on the example of a series about Nela the Young Reporter (2014–Present), published under the license of the National Geographic Society. In the paper, the author uses the tools of postcolonial studies and elements of sociological research on the phenomenon of mass tourism in the context of both adults and children. Several aspects of the analysed series are criticised and framed within the scope of popular culture in its mass variant.
