The Home (Not)Lost: Wacław „Kilometr” Korabiewicz’s Life on Land and Sea in 1903–1940

Summary/Abstract: Wacław „Kilometr” Korabiewicz was a person who viewed life as a never ending journey, therefore his approach to the concept of home was flexible and symbolic. For Korabiewicz, home was not limited to a single building or location, instead it was a symbol of freedom, adven¬ture, and inner peace, which he found in travel and closeness to nature. Frequent changes of residence from an early age had a significant impact on the development of his personality and passions. Despite this, the family estate in Gierżdele held a special place in his heart. This article attempts to recreate all the places that Korabiewicz considered his home between 1903 and 1940, as well as a reflection on what this „home” truly meant to him.Wacław „Kilometr” Korabiewicz was a person who viewed life as a never ending journey, therefore his approach to the concept of home was flexible and symbolic.
