Wycieczka w góry/podróż do wnętrza ziemi. Przestrzeń tatrzańska w Kosmosie Witolda Gombrowicza
Trip to the Mountains: Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Space of the Tatras in Witold Gombrowicz’s Cosmos

Summary/Abstract: The article indicates how the mountainous space is articulated in Cosmos in its “logical-underground” manner. The gradual occurrence of random improbabilities permeates the novel. In addition, the book reveals marked differences in how tangible matter is represented in its first part (the guest house events) and in its description of the Tatras. Eventually, the journey of the living protagonists ends under the mass of inanimate matter, thus obliterating the cohesion of human and animal world, and even of corporeality as such. This is how the human polarity – the improbable – demonstrates itself and how it multiplies indefinitely.
