Summary/Abstract: Henryk Sienkiewicz’s trip to America (between 1876 and 1878) highlighted two aspects of his work then and his later oeuvre: “travomancy” and nostalgia. They were present in American reportages and novellas published after his return home (Za chlebem, Latarnik, Wspomnienie z Maripozy), which expressed various forms of these experiences (especially the longing for the lost country in exile).
