Summary/Abstract: The review presents the methodological assumptions and the scope of problems of Konrad Niciński’s work “W poszukiwaniu nowego człowieka. Trzy projekty formacyjne w kulturze polskiej lat 1905–1930 (In Search of a New Man. Three Formative Projects of Polish Culture 1905–1930).” The subject is not a frequently recalled research context for Polish literature of the turn of the 19th and 20th c. which, as Niciński convincingly proves, is unjustified. The value of the book also lies in the description of the problem in question as based on the examples of eminent and charismatic authors of the beginning of the 20th century, namely Witkacy, Tadeusz Miciński, and Mieczysław Limanowski.
