Nostalgiczny językowy obraz międzywojennego czombrowskiego dworu utrwalony w retrospektywnych impresjach Zofii Brzozowskiej
Nostalgic Linguistic Image of the Interwar Manor House in Czombrów Preserved in the Retrospective Impressions of Zofia Brzozowska

Summary/Abstract: The draft is a linguistic and interdisciplinary reflection on one of the Polish northern borderland manor houses “saved from falling into oblivion” by verbalisation of: a) its architectonic elements: kolumnowy ganek (portico), podwójne drzwi (double door), gzyms kominka (fireplace mantel), kominek (fireplace); b) rooms: biblioteka (library), jadalnia (dining-room), kącik prasowy (press reading corner), pokoje (rooms), gabinet entomologiczny (entomological study), spiżarnia (larder); c) furniture: fotele (armchairs), kanapa (sofa), sekretarzyk (escritoire), rozkładany stół (gate-leg table), as well as family and patriotic atmosphere of the place, celebrated holidays and festivities. Verbal nostalgic-retrospective impressions of Zofia Brzozowska preserved in Impresje czombrowskie make it possible to recreate a unique aura of the house of the Karpowiczes. The house was probably a literary- -cultural prototype of Soplicowo from Sir Thaddeus as in the past the house had been an estate of the family of Adam Mickiewicz’s godmother - Aniela Uzłowska.
