Abstract

The authors of the article follow Jarosław Mikołajewski and Paweł Smoleński who faced the Sicilian challenge in their book Red snow on Etna. They perceive this Italian island as a special part of the world where all social, cultural and political processes take place in a unique and endemic way. The text is divided into three parts. The first, initial one, constitutes an attempt to discover motivation and inspiration of the duo in question. The second, proper, part deals with multilevel considerations regarding a Sicilian sense of freedom. The last, final, one shows the escapist intentions of Mikołajewski and Smoleński to rebuild lost passions and will to live on the sidelines of their creative interests. A separate interpretative thread is reflection on the duality of the act of reading and writing, both in the alternating shuffle of their own fragments by the authors of the book and in the self-referential reflection of the authors of the article.
