Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the analysis of metaphors of a person as a wanderer and the world as a place for wandering. The starting-point is the comparison of the two figures of a pilgrim: the one in traditional society (Abraham) and the other in modernity (a Puritan). At this background the main issue of the transformation of “wandering” in the postmodern times is tackled. The figures of “a tourist” and “a vagabond” described by Zygmunt Bauman are the subject of analysis.
