The myth of the founding of the city of Vilnius became particularly important in Lithuanian art in the decade of the restoration of independence. After a long period of occupation, the capital of Lithuania became not only a catalyst for new formulations of national and civic identity, but also a symbol of freedom. The landscape and architecture of the Old Town of Vilnius embody the archaic Baltic imagination, which is not upstaged but, on the contrary, complemented by the Christian world of Vilnius. The restoration of independence activated the archaic Baltic imagination in Lithuanian art and literature as this kind of imagination had nurtured Lithuanians’ national self-awareness over centuries. This article focuses on two modern Lithuanian prose writers, Antanas Ramonas (1947–1993) and Ričardas Gavelis (1950–2002), whose works evoke the two most striking and different images of the same mythical Vilnius – divine and demonic, hopeful and hopeless. These two opposing images of mythical Vilnius reveal two different viewpoints on the world, on history and on the human being in modern Lithuanian literature.

Music is not a very topical theme in contemporary Lithuanian literature. The Lithuanian literature saved its meditative and visual nature during the most difficult epoch of historical and social cataclysms, and only some romanticists and symbolists talked about an exceptional music effect on human organism (prosaist Šatrijos Ragana, poet Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas). Only few auhtors invoke the tune and symbolism of music in contemporary Lithuanian literature. A. A. Jonynas, one of the most popular poets, created verses in the rythm of jazz, swing, hard rock, metal, rock‘n‘roll during the Soviet period. The idea of music lived the freedom of form, the idea of freedom in general in that creation. Postmodernist G. Grajauskas choosed the tune of music in his book Bone pipe (1999) in order to discuss difficult existential questions. Playing, whistling, singing means the rythm of breathing and existence in that creation. The sense of musical harmony is more likely to be associated with the experience of silence in contemporary Lithuanian literature (G. Cieškaitė, D. Kajokas, N. Miliauskaitė).

The purpose of this article is to understand the reason for the popularity of books by the writer Victor Pelevin (b. 1962) in Lithuania. Pelevin’s internationally popular novel, Chapaev and Void (aka The clay machine-gun; Buddha’s little finger) (Russian, 1996; Lithuanian 1998, 2007; English, 2000) focusing on Buddhist issues, was published in Lithuanian twice; both editions were sold out. In this article, it will be compared with the novel Gone with the dreams (2000, 2007) by one of the most popular authors of contemporary Lithuanian literature, Jurga Ivanauskaitė (1961–2007). Both Pelevin and Ivanauskaitė are authors of the same generation who have experienced a similar atmosphere of the late Soviet period and reflected on the sensibilities of their generation in the contemporary world after the collapse of the Soviet Union; they both studied Tibetan Buddhism. The two novels chosen for comparative analysis are marked by the similarly emphasised Buddhist philosophical idea of void. The article reviews the development of the Oriental discourse in contemporary Lithuanian culture and literature before Jurga Ivanauskaitė started writing. The goal of this short analysis of novels by Ivanauskaitė and Pelevin is, first, to underscore the shared and relevant contents of this discourse. Secondly, it is to support the hypothesis that the Lithuanian orientalist discourse, next to other advantages of Pelevin’s work that are beyond the scope of this article, has become particularly relevant to Lithuanian readers precisely because of the most important Buddhist idea formulated especially attractively in the novel.

Birutė Jonuškaitė, a Lithuanian writer born and raised in Sejny/Seinai [Polish/Lithuanian] County, Poland, became one of the most consistent storytellers of genuine cross-national relations in Lithuanian literature. In all her novels, the writer, who settled in Vilnius after her studies at Vilnius University, tells stories about the life of the Lithuanian diaspora in Poland, and in her latest novels, Maranta (2015) and Maestro (2019), she brings to life a literary epic about the historical relations between Lithuanian, Polish, Jewish and French families. These relations burgeon at the beginning of the century in the province of Lithuania where the borders of several countries converge, to unfold over the coming decades across the thoroughfares and capitals of Europe and the world. Separated by the vicissitudes of war and history, whole families and individuals alike find each other because in response to the call of human warmth and love.

Birutė Jonuškaitė, litewska pisarka urodzona i wychowana w powiecie sejneńskim w Polsce, stała się w literaturze litewskiej jedną z najbardziej konsekwentnych autorek opowiadających prawdziwe historie o sąsiedztwie. Po studiach na Uniwersytecie Wileńskim Jonuškaitė pozostała w Wilnie. We wszystkich swoich powieściach opowiada o życiu diaspory litewskiej na ziemiach polskich. W ostatnich utworach, Maranta (2015) i Maestro (2019), tworzy swoisty epos literacki o historycznych związkach między rodzinami litewskimi i polskimi. Związki te rodzą się na litewskiej prowincji, na początku wieku, w miejscu, w którym zbiegają się granice kilku państw, a następnie w ciągu dziesięcioleci rozszerzają się na drogi i stolice Europy i świata. W tych powieściach, dotyczących problemów ogólnoludzkich, granica i pogranicze stają się istotnym problematycznym punktem orientacyjnym.
