This thread serves as a starting point to reflect on the meanings offered by the theme of the river in abundant works of the writer: from the first poetic (Dumanie nad Horyniem, Szatan i kobieta) and prosaic attempts (Życie sieroty and other), through novels from the periods of Vilnius and Zhytomyr and theoretical works (on the landscape), and travel writings, to the notes created at the end of life. The core of reviewing some of the problems related to the forms of the writer’s literary imagination as well as world perception and feeling is the theme of metamorphoses and passing directly combined with the element of the river.
