Abstract
The author of the article reads Days, Eliza Orzeszkowa’s 1898-1904 diary, as an integral whole. The text of Days is an unaffected record of the writer’s everyday life: the meditative, philosophical and emotional side of this diary is dominated by the fuss and bother of the quotidian; the private “I”, in turn, is dominated by the public “I” of the literary celebrity who is dedicated to social problems. However, the author of the article highlights the fragments of Days devoted to Orzeszkowa’s major emotional concerns at the time: her old age and passing of time, the despair over her husband’s, Stanisław Nahorski’s, death, as well as her quandaries and passions generated by her last love, Franciszek Godlewski (and it is because of the latter that Days is called an “autobiography with a secret”). It turns out that the diary treats first and foremost of acute solitude and different ways of coping with it: from love to focusing on absolute values to contact with nature.
