Potocki „Intertekstualny”
Journal Title: Prace Polonistyczne - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The life of Enlightenment celebrities from the spheres of aristocracy, politics and science — which were swarming with original, eccentric and brilliant figures — almost provokes to be included in the framework of the fictional story. Also many literary works from this era, amazingly modern in form and content and well written, still tempts to literary „dialogue” with them. Contemporary authors readily use these „goods” searching new themes and artistic solutions. For these reasons Jan Potocki has earned the great interest of the creators. His astonishingly original and eccentric life has inspired both Polish (e.g. M. Choromański, J. Lechoń, T. Jurasz) and foreign authors (e.g. Rüdiger Kremer). His works have aroused equally strong interest, especially The Manuscript Found in Saragossa, a masterpiece of world literature, inspiring many important and talented writers, Polish and foreign ones (e.g. M. Gretkowska, K. Rudowski, L. Rosendorfer, J. Fowles). Undoubtedly, Potocki’s work and biography can provide a lot of creative satisfaction and they are a mine of literary ideas, starting from biographical facts, by borrowing motifs and ending with stylization „games”.
