Trauma wojenna jako inspiracja powieści Aleksandra Kamińskiego

The author of this article interprets the "Kamienie na szaniec" by Aleksander Kamiński, using the methodology of new historicism and psychotraumatology. In particular, the attempt is put into answering the question whether the narrative of "Kamienie..." is the story of historiographical, ideological, and mythologising, or rather therapeutic and pedagogical aim. The analysis will also address other selected texts (like "Zośka and Parasol"), containing reports of experiencing traumatic events and overcoming the trauma caused by the September defeat and the Warsaw Uprising.
