Summary/Abstract: The center of attention of the narrative prose by A. Budzisz is the Kashubian territorial space in connection with the existential dimension of human work, which is why Budzisz’s prose is said to be “a living document of the Kashubian culture.” The literary subject (narrator) presenting the reality of Kashubia is strongly associated with it, the text shows that the writer never distances himself from the described topography. What’s more – the descriptive narratives of Bautzen show that on a deep level of meanings, an intense experience of reality points to the original, existing “forever” relationship between a human / literary subject and the homeland. In the literary description of the space of Kashubia, the tendency to focus attention on the Kashubian half and the semi-private landscape and the work of the host / writer of the land dominates.
