Abstract

The author of the paper examines two novels by Olga Tokarczuk – Final Stories and Anna In in the Tombs of the World in terms of self-psychotherapeutic functions of these texts in the process of overcoming the thanatic fear in the contemporary civilisation, characterised by the lack of effective rites of passage. It analyses the link between artistic devices and specific self-psychotherapeutic processes (desensitization, mythodrama) which they serve.
