"Cogito" marzyciela. O Zygmunta Glogera "Marzeniach samotnika"

Abstract

The text is a proposal of interpretation of “the landowner’s poem” by Zygmunt Gloger (1845-1910), written under the title Marzenia samotnika (Dreams of a Loner), published in Warsaw in 1883. The key to understanding the message, discovering the meaning of the text by the writer from Jeżewo, is searched for in the phenomenology of a “night dream” by Gaston Bachelard and the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud. Taking such a methodology allows one to argue that the poem, considered by the nineteenth-century critics and twentieth-century scholars to be the work of small artistic value, conceptual imitativeness and of idealist-Utopian nature, proves to be a narrative carrying a profound poetic-philosophical message, a voice playing an important role in the whole work of Zygmunt Gloger.
