Summary/Abstract: This paper traces the evolution of the notion of Europe in Czesław Miłosz’s Native Realm. The author points to the antinomy in the image of East and West noticeable at the start of the work and argues that this dichotomy is gradually surpassed by the speaking subject. In the final pages of Native Realm Miłosz gives a definition of the Old Continent as a cultural whole. According to the author, the Polish Nobel Laurate is inspired by the work and ideas of Stanisław Vincenz (expressed, for example, in the essay Krajobraz jako tło dziejów [Lanscape as historical background]).
