Between heaven and hell — Bolesław Leśmian’s Karczma

The work is a proposition of reading Bolesław Leśmian’s poem Karczma (Inn) which treats about
a place in the Otherworld, which is different from Heaven and Hell. In the Inn there is a lot of sinners
who try to continue their earth life. Author of the paper tries to show, that the repetition of sins is a
guarantee of staying in the Inn instead of going to Heaven, which is a place of expiration of the will to
live and a place of boredom. The Inn is also a place that imitates home for his inhabitants.
