ENIn this text I attempt to explore the intertextual relations between The World. A Naive Poem by Czesław Miłosz and Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz. The text is a psychoanalytic reading of those elements which Miłosz takes from Pan Tadeusz and re-writes in his own work by correcting them or putting them in a different order. The main thesis of the text is that when Miłosz speaks of the similarities between his work and Mickiewicz's epic, he speaks about his own fantasia.
