Powroty niemożliwe, powroty nieuniknione – konwencjonalność i topiczność w prozie Miriam Akavii
Impossible Returns, Unavoidable Returns – Conventionality and Topicality in Miriam Akavia’s Prose

Summary/Abstract: The article contains reflections on Miriam Akavia’s prose, with a special emphasis on her last book, written in 2005 and entitled Moje powroty [My Returns]. The main theme of Akavia’s oeuvre was her biography: her childhood in Cracow before the Second World War, experiences during the occupation, the Holocaust, and her life in Israel after the war. Her method of writing was traditional; she used conventional and topical forms of expression as vehicles for expressing her attachment to such values as home, family, native land (along with her home town Cracow), and new adoptive country.
