Abstract
The article outlines the longue durée of Poland as imagined in France and France as imagined in Poland in literary representations and political discourse over 500 years of mutual relations. The most important topoi resulting from the first “clash of cultures” (on the occasion of the Polish election of future Henry III of France in 1573), present to this day in impossible farewells and returns and in the scheme of binary oppositions (Enlightenment – Romanticism, modernity – non-modernity, rationality – irrationality, civilization – barbarism, entire Europe – another Europe), are analyzed.
