Filomacki związek z miejscem – fragmenty geobiografii Michała Rukiewicza i Adama Mickiewicza

Abstract

The article discusses the relationships with places formed by two writers: Adam Mickiewicz and a forgotten Philomath from the region of Podlasie – Michał Rukiewicz. The author uses the methodologies developed within geopoetics and humanist geography to discover how the biography is related to a specific physical place and to demonstrate how the two writers shaped their geobiographies. Rukiewicz left his mark on the places with activism within local communities; Mickiewicz textualized them in artistic gesture. The Philomath from Podlasie was happy to give himself to his nation but the Lithuanian poet spoke more through emotion and faith.
