Summary/Abstract: Julian Wołoszynowski in the collection entitled „The Podolian Stories” signals the tragic final of the Podolian world which he got to know as his natural environment during his childhood and the youth period. The romantic and neoromantic tradition, which was earlier indicated by the critics and researchers, is indeed present in these writings, however one should notice numerous and various signals of distancing from traditional patterns. Besides romantic and neoromantic patterns the realism poetry or even grotesque should be noticed. The author of the article definitely pronounces for the position of those who perceive Julian Wołoszynowski as a first class, yet underestimated writer.
