Summary/Abstract: The text concerns the creative ways of tuberculosis in three late texts by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz: Sława i chwała, Opowiadanie szwajacarskie and Kochankowie z Marony. The considerations are focused around Opowiadanie szwajcarskie, one of the novel, which is rarely interpreted. The authoress argues that it is possible to find in Opowiadanie szwajcarskie the various and contradictory elements. On the one hand this story uses romantic metaphor of tuberculosis, which returns us to earlier books by Iwaszkiewicz, even pre‑war Brzezina. On the second hand there are transgressions of romantic metaphor as the prefiguration of Kochankowie z Marony.
