Summary/Abstract: The author of the article discusses new poetics of the novel by Mariusz Sieniewicz to be found in such works as "Rebelia", "Miasto Szklanych Słoni" and "Spowiedź Śpiącej Królewny". What plays a decisive role in these works is imagination principles which, according to the author of the article, allows for calling the last novels by Sieniewicz spectroanalyses of contemporaneity. The characters of the works create themselves ghostly versions of reality, thanks to which they maintain the rest of the subjective activity. The very practice, in turn, leads to a gradual regaining of what is closest to an extremely individual experience, that is an every-day life. The consequence of these efforts is a personal metamorphosis (metanoia), a total change in the relationships between the world, and overcoming depressive moods. What the characters take part in is a unique experience of happiness, almost unknown in contemporary culture extorting and regulating happiness.
