Dear Colloquia,
we invite you to contribute to the 2/2020 thematic issue of "Colloquia Litteraria" entitled:

Ulysses of Literature

The leading editors are: Dominika Budzanowska-Weglenda, PhD and Joanna Zajkowska, PhD.
Deadline for the submission of texts: June 30, 2022.

Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, which opened European literature, have had, and continue to have, a huge impact on culture, including literature. Unique among the many characters in these two epics is Odysseus, who has become a figure of the traveler for the literature of later times, and whose peregrinations pose an existential challenge. The richness of Odysseus' personality and the variety of themes that accompanied his struggles became an inspiration for many authors in antiquity and in the centuries that followed. In this perspective, we would like to offer you a reflection on the theme of the voyage across the centuries and eras.
We suggest considering the following issues present in literature:
1. The wanderings of Odysseus in Homer's epic;
2. The reception of the Odysseus theme in the literature of different epochs;
Human life as a wandering, wandering, pilgrimage. 4;
The artist on a journey - notes and reminiscences of travelling artists and writers of old and modern times; 5;
Travellers in literature;
Travel and travel writing in ancient and contemporary literature: itinerary, journey, diary, travel journal, letter, reportage;
The man who travels, the man on a journey. 8;
Peregrinations and pilgrimages, journeys, journeys for knowledge, journeys for pleasure;
Travel as an encounter with the Other: exoticism, cultural and moral differences. 10;
Literary works based on the motif of a journey. 11;
A journey in time and space - fantastic realizations of the motif; 11.
