ENThe book being presented to the reader was planned to be a collection of articles of literary criticism. However, time and circumstances changed the nature of the book, but not the essence. With a scientific approach to the analysis of literature, culture, and educational phenomena in mind, there is an attempt to look more freely and widely at the topics being examined - also evident in the title "Looking for a Metaphor of Life," perhaps a poetic summation of the text. The material included in this collection is diverse and openly collected; the cultural and artistic topics are quite different; however, they are inevitably linked together at the same time. Mostly attention is paid to Lithuanian literature with a special emphasis on the peculiarity of artistic language in the Klaipėda region, Lithuania Minor, and Žemaitija. Relevant issues on science and education, usually directly related to Klaipėda University, are analyzed; the famous people of Lithuanian culture, science, and art are discussed.
