Ignacy Domeyko i jego związki z Wileńszczyzną

Abstract

In the remaining memoirs and correspondence of Ignacy Domeyko the references to his family home have an important place. In his memoirs, describing the times of the Philomaths, he presents the image of Vilnius and its University, the organizational activity among students and common wandering around in Vilnius. Reporting the outbreak of the November Uprising he describes the atmosphere prevailed in Lithuania at that time. The subject of home land can be found in letters to friends and relatives – they often contain comparisons with the life in Chile. This proves how deeply inside him were the images of places of his childhood and youth.
