„(…) cudownie skryte, pulsujące jakimś odmiennym sensem życie” Melchior Wańkowicz i ptaki
„[…] a Wonderfully Secretive Life, Pulsating with some Otherworldly Meaning.” Melchior Wańkowicz and Birds

Summary/Abstract: The article is interdisciplinary and cross-cutting in nature. Birds in the works of Melchior Wańkowicz have been interpreted as messengers of universal values linked to childhood memories. They signal the mystery of existence and initiate delight in the world. Specific species such as the willow grouse symbolise the uniqueness of the Borderlands. Crows, jays, bee-eaters, hawks, cuckoos, woodpeckers, grouse, black grouse and partridges hidden in Wańkowicz’s stories are signs of the Borderlands past and of the close relationship with man.
