Summary/Abstract: The article aims at presenting an outline of the Ukrainian literature that has been popularisedon the Polish publishing market after 1989. The transformation taking place in Ukraine encouragedPoles’ interest in their south-eastern neighbour. This popularity is not yet reflected in theiracquaintance with Ukrainian literature published in Poland. This shows that Ukraine is still perceivedthrough a political rather than literary or cultural perspective. The undertaken analysis revealed thatthe range of Ukrainian literature in translation offered by Polish publishing houses is not, however,as modest as it might be expected judging by its little popularity.
