Summary/Abstract: A book review of Łukasz A. Plesnar’s "The Faces of Western" ("Twarze westernu", 2009). This impressive book deals with western as a genre and comes with a vast bibliography and filmography. According to Helman, Plesnar’s long in the making book is a competent and complete work on the subject of western. The book is somewhat encyclopaedic in style, but this is typical for Plesnar, as his other books also have a very high informative value. The reviewer notes however that this completeness might make reading more difficult, as the book is overfilled with lists of items.
