Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the polemic between two Polish writers Jerzy Andrzejewski and Jerzy Zawieyski, whose outlook was significantly affected by the war experience. When in 1945 Andrzejewski was influenced by Marxist ideology, Zawieyski turned to religion and gained recognition as a Catholic writer. The author of the article asserts that Andrzejewski’s Propozycje teraźniejszości (published after 1945) and Zawieyski’s Kantata anielska (1948) represent a literary polemic determined by its biographical and socio-political contexts.
