Scenariusze fantazmatyczne Bolesława Leśmiana

The paper discusses the phantasmatic scenarios of love triangle in Bolesław Leśmian’s writing: presentation of relations of one man and two women. The following short stories: “The Witch” and “Mayka” from Polish Fables, and The Adventures of Sindbad the Sailor are analyzed, as well as two dramas: The Demoniac Fiddler and The Savagery of Posthumous Mores. These works are discussed as realization of modern gnosis, as forms of opposition against normative discourses of power and as performative texts, calling the readers to change their lives.
