Abstract
This essay discusses an important theme in Jacek Dukaj’s writings, namely the difficult relationship between father and son. It examines Dukaj’s works, such as The Plunderer's Daughter and Ice, in which the figure of the absent father who must be found by his child is presented. The son’s journey in search of his lost parent (and his own identity) reflects the pattern of the mythical hero’s journey described by Joseph Campbell and thus ends with a symbolic reconciliation with his father.
