Summary/Abstract: The text undertakes an analysis of representation of Nowa Huta in contemporary ction, in attempt to discover whether a new ways of description have been invented (in the context of strong and in uential myths dating back do 1950’s). It focuses on three texts: Hanna Sokołowska’s thriller Kosa, Jewgienij T. Olejniczak’s fantasy novella Tajemna historia Nowej Huty and Adam Miklasz’s Ostatni mecz, a story of Nowa Huta football team and its fans. A couple of common problems in the discussed texts are observed and examined, such as: rep- resentation of feminity (attribution of creative force to women), romantic paradigm, relation between private and public and rewriting of Nowa Huta genesis.What seems to be a major problem is crisis of community, distrust of common values and shift towards indi- vidualism (in Miklasz’s book the case is more complicated).
