[Rzeka miejska u Dickensa, Dostojewskiego i Prusa]



Abstrakt

The article offers a comparative analysis of the literary presentations of three rivers (the Thames in London, the Neva in Petersburg, and the Wisła in Warsaw) in the following novels: Charles Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, and Bolesław Prus’s The Doll. The author discusses the presentations of these rivers and the ways the writers engaged river imagery with the cities. The rivers played crucial roles in shaping the plot and in the characterisation of the protagonists. The Thames serves a crucial part in Our Mutual Friend: it offers safety to some characters, but it is also a deadly power to others. The Neva and the Wisła are related to self-exploration of the main characters who find it necessary to wander around the river banks; it is near the river bank when they undergo an internal transformation (Raskolnikov) or reflect upon humanity (Wokulski).
