Siedem zegarków kopidoła Joachima Rybki - pisarski rachunek sumienia na lekcjach języka polskiego w liceum

Abstract

Gustaw Morcinek’s novel Siedem zegarków kopidoła Joachima Rybki is for him a sort of literary examination of conscience. In school practice, it can also be viewed as a road to a better cognition and understanding by a student of his/her surrounding reality. Reflection on the Silesian writer’s text may become a perfect means to make students aware of the universal nature of some issues and values. In Joachim Rybka’s closet, the clocks measure time giving a pretext for taking a trip down memory lane and recollecting adventures and characters possessing wordly wisdom. A S ilesian ditch‑digger is a distanced man and very candid. His long and well‑lived life gives him the right and privilege to have this attitude. He sees things that others do not want to notice.
