Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the phenomenon of a literary legend, taking as an example the figure of Rafał Wojaczek. The author assumes that the legend, understood broadly, is both a social and a cultural phenomenon, shaped by the rules of the art governing the field of modern literature; as well as a discourse depending on other discourses: literary and critical literary. The Author’s reflection is based on three questions: Why is it possible to create a legend in modern literature? How do the published memories shape the image of Wojaczek? Who creates the legend and why?
