<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>EXPERIENCES IN THE MOUNTAINS AS BLURRING OF THE BORDERS IN VICTOR SAUNDERS' <em>ELUSIVE SUMMITS</em> AND ADAM SKOCZYLAS' <em>CZTERY DNI SŁOŃCA</em></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The article is an analysis of Adam Skoczylas&rsquo; Cztery dni słońca Four Days of Sunshine and Victor Saunders&rsquo; Elusive Summits, works that are part of mountain literature, the boundaries of which are set, on the one hand, by the unique context of writing involving a close relation between life and work; and on the other by unique reception involving a relation between the author and the reader based on shared experiences, on which this reception depends. The factor that became a condition for the emergence of such literature was a unique way of looking at the mountains, characteristic of mountaineers exploring the Tatras, the Alps and then also the Himalayas. It becomes a starting point for narrative as well as a condition for forming a reader group. A characteristic feature of the works discussed in the article is their narrative emphasising the intensity of sensations accompanying experiences in the mountains.</p>
