Zmierzch cyrku w "Zwierzyńcu" Antoniego Ferdynanda Ossendowskiego na tle rozkwitu kultury cyrkowej w XIX wieku

Despite the fact that Ossendowski’s writings do not belong to the most prominent critical voices of the nineteenth century model of a circus they are original for the Polish history of non-anthropocentric literature. This approach to the circus becomes a kind of dominant in one of Ossendowski’s texts and allows to extract "Zwierzyniec", written in 1931, from unflattering reviews by directing the text into a more significant and zoocentric forms of narration endowed in the text.
