Abstract

The author of the article proposes the way of reading and interpreting Olga Tokarczuk’s novel at high school. The choice of the novel results not only from the changes in curriculum, but also from a chance of enriching the lists of obligatory reading with the texts undertaking interesting problems such as relation between man and animals. The scholar sees here a counterweight for problems connected with liberation of the nation or social topics that seem to dominate in Polonistic discourse at high­school. The very presence of Olga Tokarczuk’s novel at Polish language classes would question an anthropocentric way of interpreting the world around.
