Holy Friends of Children (Filip Neri, Urszula Ledóchowska, Jan Bosko) in Eliza Piotrowska's Rhymed Stories from The Smiling Saints Series

Przyjaciele dzieci: Filip Neri, Urszula Ledóchowska, Jan Bosko w wierszowanych opowieściach z serii "Święci uśmiechnięci" Elizy Piotrowskiej

Abstract

When describing the figures of saints, Eliza Piotrowska follows the order set by hagiography. However, it does not mean the reproduction of the cultural stereotype of a saint to which we have been accustomed by religious literature and folklore. We will find many images and motifs transferred from fictionalised biographies of “wondrous children.” Bearing in mind the small audience, she replaces seriousness with humour, which dominates all levels of the text. The author is not afraid to juxtapose book protagonists with contemporary children, which she also illustrates herself. She reaches for anecdotes, jokes, aphorisms, and different points of view. The author’s narrative and graphic skills allow her to interest the reader in the protagonists, to take them off the pedestal while maintaining individuality. Using a humorous way of portraying saints, Piotrowska questions the perfection of saints, formality and seriousness, which does not preclude the theological understanding of sanctity.
