Summary/Abstract: In this work ‘Karol Wojtyła / Jan Paweł II and religious thoughts of Zygmunt Krasiński in his early epistolography’, the Authoress concentrates her research on the figure of young Karol Wojtyla and on his originated in Wadowice period of his life fascination with Polish romantic literature. Young Karol is not only an actor, but a co-director and co-creator of spectacles presented to the public. Wojtyla’s experiences gained in the Rhapsodic Theater and during his studies of Polish literature at the University convince him that the spoken word has a prophetic, missionary character, leading to a transformation both in spiritual and intellectual spheres. Zygmunt Krasiński in his early epistolography addresses essential aesthetic-religious problems which in future become the idea of national messianism. Jan Paweł II in his papal teaching forcefully explores the ideas of Polish romanticism adding the theological thought to the aesthetic content.
