Summary/Abstract: Dylewska examines two novels: Niewinne miasto [The Innocent Town, 2003] by Czesław Markiewicz and Katzenberge (2010) by Sabrina Janesch. The narratives about memoryin these two novels create a particular sphere in which two cultures – memory culture and folk culture – intertwine and complement each other. The key question concerns the function of the elements inspired by and drawn from folk stories, fairy tales, legends and myths. Dylewska explores the ways in which folk motifs can determine the literary creations of summoning and passing on memories.
