Summary/Abstract: Apart from an extraordinary diversity of literary matter, with which Kąpiele w Lucca, the novel by Leopold Buczkowski, abounds, its author frequently offered the reader conspicuous references to classical rhetoric, and especially its part known as inventio. The article follows this particular rhetorical trope by showing individual cases of rhetorical references and rhetorical theory as a whole, to which Buczkowski referred in Kąpiele… Classical rhetoric in the form of inventio, conceived as a theory of building statements and speaking about the world in general, proves to be an important interpretation context of the novel in which classical theory becomes contrasted with the collage-like manner in which the novel communicates.
