Summary/Abstract: The review praises Andrzej Kotliński and Aleksander Nawarecki’s book “Dialog troisty. Colloquia o Juliuszu Słowackim” (“Colloquia on Juliusz Słowacki: A Trilogue”, 2019), divided into seven parts, each of which consists of two separate studies joined by a common topic. In spite of the various writing individualities of the authors, both of them display the poet’s world of imagination and anthropology in their accurate analyses, model philological reading of the text, revealing treatment of, inter alia, diminutives, acoustic instrumentation, and ornithological motifs, while often dealing with the pieces that are neglected in research tradition. The authors also give Słowacki’s reading an intimate perspective, clearly setting this reading into their own experience.
