Piłki są dwie, bramka jest jedna. Futbol, ciało i historia w Eine kleine. Quasi una Allemanda Artura Daniela Liskowackiego

Abstract

In the article the Author focusses on the theme of soccer in Artur Daniel Liskowacki’s novel Eine kleine. Quasi una Allemanda. He points out the importance of this particular narrative thread for this now widely recognized classical representative of regional literature, which, albeit confirmed as such by critics – both journalistic and academic – in fact rarely receives much (interpretative) attention. Apart from filling in this evident lacuna in the already two-decades long debate over this outstanding and internationally appreciated novel, the Author offers some considerations on the problem of athletic experience as represented in literature in general, however paying particular attention to its role works such as ADL’s magnificent urban tale.
