The stay of Jan Potocki in Karlsbad in 1785 was unknown. Potocki's biographers F. Rosset and D. Triaire ignored it. The author of the article based for his research mainly on Stanis\u142aw Kostka Potocki's correspondence with his wife, on Goethe's and Herder's correspondence, last but not least he found in Cracow a letter of Jan Potocki to Herder from this year. Other witnesses from the entourage of the Polish and German company help to have an almost complete account of this less known chapter of the first stay of Goethe in Karlsbad

Since then, this new historical and literary category determining phenomena present in literature since the dawn of time has become firmly established in both critical and scientific discourse. From the perspective of decades, one can attempt its first summary. Referring to the seemingly marginal trends in literary tradition, and at the same time boasting such names as Sterne, Blake, Mallarm\ue9 and Joyce, liberature is strongly opposed to the postmodernist opinions about the death of literature in postmodern civilisation and compels the reader to work hard on and with the text, which is the opposite of the exploration of the world by surfin on its surface, which, according to many critics, seems to be the key to contemporary civilisation. Finally the emancipation of ideological and physical values of the book destroys of one of the most ingrained beliefs in Western culture, namely, that a work of fiction is a whole ...

Both research areas have in common the study of the vision devices which have determined and conditioned the perception of images. Unlike them however, the issue of this paper is not an image (as in the case of ekphrasis), but the perception itself and the structures of narrative derived from it. Indeed, following Harro Segeberg\u2019s perspective, aerostatic balloons are in my issue considered as media-like vision devices they are compared with, as they had significant implications with perception (I intentionally do not refer to the idea of influence) at the turn of the XIX century. This change of perception from a static and artificial one, in the German prose of the Enlightenment based mainly on the medium of optical devices, to an open and non linear one is here analysed through the key of the first balloon flights and on the sample of two writers: Jean Paul w...
