"Wspomnienie z Cejlonu" (A Memory of Ceylon) is a travel memoir by the Polish writer, painter, philosopher, and playwright Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, commonly known as Witkacy. Written after his visit to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1914, the work is a reflection of Witkacy's experiences and observations during his journey. The memoir is notable for its vivid descriptions, philosophical musings, and the author's characteristic blend of reality and fiction, which often blurs the line between an authentic travel account and a surreal literary creation.

Witkacy's journey to Ceylon was a significant event in his life, influencing his artistic and philosophical outlook. The memoir captures the cultural shock and fascination he experienced upon encountering the island's landscapes, customs, and people, which stood in stark contrast to his European background. "Wspomnienie z Cejlonu" is also an important document of the author's evolving artistic vision, showcasing his early attempts to grapple with the concepts of time, existence, and the nature of reality—themes that would later become central to his more mature works.

The text is interspersed with Witkacy's reflections on the nature of art and the role of the artist, as well as his critical observations on the impact of Western civilization and colonialism. The memoir is a testament to Witkacy's multifaceted talent, combining his skills as a writer with his keen eye as a visual artist, which is evident in the detailed and evocative imagery he employs.

"Wspomnienie z Cejlonu" is not only a significant work within Witkacy's own oeuvre but also contributes to the broader genre of travel literature. It offers readers a unique glimpse into the early 20th-century Ceylonese culture through the lens of one of Poland's most eccentric and original thinkers. The memoir remains an intriguing piece for scholars interested in European perceptions of the East during the era of high colonialism, as well as for those studying the interplay between travel and the development of modernist aesthetics.
