TY - GEN A1 - Sikora, Ireneusz (1952-2016) A2 - Sztyber, Radosław - red. nacz. PB - Zielona Góra: Uniwersytet Zielonogórski, Instytut Filologii Polskiej N2 - The synthetic study brings effects of thorough analysis of Eliza Orzeszkowa's letters (gathered and published by Edward Jankowski in nine volumes) containing information on her reading experiences. As it appears, she read a lot and of course she was familiar with many outstanding literary or philosophical masterpieces. N2 - Her correspondences become a durable proof of reading passion. Orzeszkowa had in her hands texts written in the middle of the first millenium. Her own words document she knew Augustine's of Hippo "Coneffesiones" and scholastic philosopher's fameous "Letters of Abelard to Heloise". She studied Francis' of Assisi "Fioretti" and Thomas a Kempis's "The imitation of Christ". N2 - Her didactic activities reveal she wanted to enrich the educational programme with "Poetic Edda or The Nibelungenlied" ("The song of Nibelungs"). "La Divina Commedia" by Dante Alighieri was highly valued by the authoress of "On The Niemen". Orzeszkowa remembered biography and works of Torquato Tasso. What is more, she even translated into Polish Hyppolyte Taine's "Histoire de la littérature anglaise" ("History of English literature"), therefore the presence of William Shakespeare in her epistolography cannot be surprising. N2 - Commonly known "to be or not to be" or "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" may be found in some of her texts. She was also interested in French literature and acquainted with i.a. Moliere's plays and Francois Rabelais' "Gargantua and Pantagruel" or "Fables" by Jean de La Fontaine. The article seems to be an important contribution to our knowledge on Orzeszkowa readings and her erudition.
