| Key points | Argues that Darda's trilogy constructs Wyręby as an alternative supernatural world protected by nature and set in multi-level opposition to civilized Lublin, where characters come to trust intuition and believe in ghosts, demons, and ghouls. Dreams there are sometimes prophetic or warn of disaster, and the area around Kostrzew is portrayed as a place where 'everything can start from scratch,' forcing protagonists into an extremely open-minded approach to the supernatural. |
Abstract
Stefan Darda’s Dom na Wyrębach [A House in Wyręby] trilogy features the creation of an alternative world full of supernatural beings. Access to it is protected by nature. Wyręby constitutes an opposition (on many levels) to civilised Lublin. The characters arriving at the forest hamlet start to trust their intuition, believing in ghosts, demons and ghouls. In the space created in Wyręby, dreams also play an important role – sometimes they are prophetic, or in other cases they warn of an approaching disaster. The area around Kostrzew is also a place where “everything can start from scratch”, because the world the protagonists collide with forces them to adopt an extremely openminded approach to supernatural phenomena.
