The novel The Dreamer by Polish Nobel laureate Władysław Stanisław Reymont, published in Croatian in 1944, is an introspective and philosophically tinged work that differs from his more famous realistic novels such as The Peasant.
In this work, Reymont moves away from social chronicles and turns to the inner world of the individual, exploring the boundaries of reality, dreams, and spirituality.
The main character, whose name is not explicitly stated, is depicted as a dreamer – a man who withdraws from everyday life and immerses himself in a world of imagination, dreams, and inner visions. Through a series of symbolic and often surreal scenes, the novel explores themes such as escape from reality, the search for meaning, and spiritual enlightenment.
Reymont uses rich and poetic language, imbued with symbolism and mystical elements, to portray the protagonist’s inner state. The work is characterized by introspective monologues and philosophical reflections on human existence, reality, and transcendence.
The Dreamer can be interpreted as the author’s reflection on man’s spiritual aspirations and his need to escape the limitations of the material world. The novel invites the reader to reflect on his own dreams, inner struggles, and search for a deeper meaning in life.
