Summary/Abstract: After the failure of the November Insurrection (1830–1831), Adam Mickiewicz wrote the Księgi narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego [Books of the Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage], in which he included the messianic vision of Polish history and some moral guidelines. The reason for writing the booklet were disgraceful disputes that divided the participants of the November Insurrection in exile. According to some scholars, one can see the similarity between Mickiewicz’s Księgi narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego [Books of the Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage] and Novalis’s essay Christendom or Europe.
