This essay is the study of a single voyage as it unfolds in three texts. Each of them contains descriptions of the sea, which takes the poets, Juan Ramón Jiménez and Federico García Lorca to the shore of a confrontational transformation. Jiménez’s Diario of 1916 recounts the young, love-smitten poet’s journey from Spain to New York, where he was to be married. In Poeta en Nueva York of 1929, Lorca, travelling outside of Spain for the first time, experiences a profound emotional crisis while at sea. In “Espacio,” the third of the texts discussed, Jiménez, too, faces an emotional challenge, as he finds himself face to face with a sea in which present and past have merged into a single shore. The crisis thus is a shared one, the texts marvelously overlap, and allow an intertextual reading as one, combined narrative.

The idea for this issue of Neerlandica Wratislaviensia arose from an interest in the Low Countries – their culture, literature, and language. This interest has translated into a number of various approaches to the concept of Nederlandsheid, seen not only through the eyes of the authorities on the Dutch language and literature from the University of Wroclaw, but also representatives of other scientific disciplines within the philology department of this university. Their focus, supplemented with a look at Low Countries from the perspective of Dutch and Flemish ‘insiders’, created an interesting mosaic presenting Low Countries in an exciting and accessible way. The articles of the 32nd issue of Neerlandica Wratislaviensia mention both the former Dutch colonies and the modern Low Countries seen through the eyes of Polish travelers; they describe authors’ auto-images and tools to make a literary work more attractive. Here we find fairy tales, non-fiction, and linguistic considerations. This number shows how small countries can strongly influence scientists’ knowledge.
