The article discusses the book by Wojciech Browarny Historie odzyskane. Literackie dziedzictwo Wrocławia i Dolnego Śląska [Rescued Stories: Literary Heritage of Wrocław and Upper Silesia]. The author of the article presents the concept of “rescuing” the forgotten local history by the writers and scholars based inWrocław and Upper Silesia. The region regains its cultural importance, and the literature becomes a tool in building regional identity. The article demonstrates that the book is not confined to performing a regional function but is also important in a number of ways. It concerns the heritage of Upper Silesia, which is part of the region and Central Europe. It also belongs to contemporary literary criticism and the recent socially engaged humanities.
