In all literary traditions travel is one of the most common ways of describing the world (the real and the quasi-real) and is used by novelists both as a motif and as a structural device - also in cases when it disrupts the structure of a novel, which can be, nevertheless, refreshing in an artistic sense (through, for example, the continuous renewal of relationships with the world beyond literature).
The academic goal of this conference is such a description of travel literature which underlines and explores the relationships existing between fictional and non-fictional genres within different literary (national) traditions.
