Keywords: Mickiewicz; Ballads and Romances; uncanny; romantic metaphysics

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the theme of experiencing the world in Mickiewicz’s 'Ballads and Romances'. It unfolds within a fantastical aesthetic (as defined by R. Caillois, in opposition to the miraculous); it is marked by the experience of the uncanny – in Freud’s understanding, fear and threat. What appears bright and joyful reveals its own ambiguity and eeriness.
