Abstract
This article explores the topic of returns of Stanisław Vincenz to his lost geographies. It highlights the problem through lens of psychological notions depicting processes of remembering and forgetting formulated by psychologists Bluma Zeigarnik and Maria Owsiankina. According to the article, the behaviour of the writer bears many symptoms which are specific to mentioned psychological concepts. From the considered habits of the writer the most striking are his constant voluntary returns to the interrupted act and the strong determination to finish it. The analysis of selected writer’s letters, scripts of conversations, diaries fragments etc., shows that observations made by cited Russian researchers can be used in literature studies.
