Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to Pinpoint the possible linguistic expressions of animals and human-animal relations. The analysis is based on two publications documenting the growing interest of literature in environmental issues: Michał Książek’s Droga 816 [Road 816] (2015) and Północny wschód [North-East] (2017). They represent the so-called ‘nature writing’: a well-established literary tradition in Anglo-American literature, little-known in the Polish literary landscape.
