Tatrzańskie pisma Bronisława Rajchmana na tle koncepcji „wycieczki bez programu” Tytusa Chałubińskiego
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The article focuses on Bronisław Rajchman’s little known accounts of trips across the Tatra Mountains, which originated in the second half of the 19th century and which are part of strictly defined Tatra tourism literature. Rajchman’s accounts are an important record of the phenomenon of “itinerary-less trips” organised by Tytus Chałubiński. Rajchman was their active witness and participant. In the second half of the 19th century Rajchman’s literary oeuvre, in the form of travelogues, made a significant contribution to the popularisation of Tatra tourism and, at the same time, enriched the Polish writings relating to the Tatra Mountains. In the article the author analyses Rajchman’s two most interesting pieces: “Wycieczka do Morskiego Oka przez przełęcz Mięguszowiecką” [A trip to Morskie Oko through the Mięguszowiecka Pass] (Ateneum, 1877) and “Wycieczka na Łomnicę odbyta pod wodzą dra T. Chałubińskiego” [A trip to Łomnica under the guidance of Dr T. Chałubiński] (1879) in the context of Chałubiński’s activity in Zakopane. The author pays particular attention to the exploratory and guiding aspects of Rajchman’s Tatra prose.
