Conrad, Balzac, and Potocki – Ukrainian Paths of European Writers
OKO Open Lectures
Join Katarzyna Węglicka on a journey through the lives of three remarkable writers who traveled from Ukrainian lands to Western Europe and gained international fame.
We will visit their hometowns around Berdychiv and the vast Podolia region, exploring the places and home paths of these renowned authors. Discover the childhood surroundings of young Conrad, explore the family roots of Jan Potocki, and see how far the famous Frenchman Monsieur de Balzac went in his pursuit of his beloved. Who else might we encounter along the way? We warmly invite you to follow the paths of these literary figures.
