The main aim of the article is to examine the representation of Bohemia in contemporary Polish literature. The first part of the text focuses on the early stage of its mythologization, in which Czech lands became a point of reference for Polish writers in the times of the emergence of the term “Central Europe” in Polish discourse. The author presents the concepts taken from Milan Kundera’s and Josef Kroutvor’s essays as critical in shaping the perception of Bohemia as a land where, unlike in Polish historical discourse, history does not serve a source of trauma. This Arcadian vision of Czech history is strongly present in Mariusz Szczygieł’s texts, which can be seen as playing the key role in the mythologization of Czech lands in Polish imagination. The second part of the text concentrates on the historical narrative in Andrzej Sapkowski’s Hussite Trilogy and its references to the history of Central Europe. In the trilogy Bohemia and Silesia are consistently presented as bloodlands and a source of trauma, not only in contemporary times but in medieval history as well.

In this paper I focus on Jakub Niemojewski’s book Odpowiedź na książki… które pisał przeciwko Conffesiej bracie naszej krześciańskiej… Przy tym odpowiedź na historią kacerzstwa Hussowego, którego ten pobożny człowiek nigdy nie by winien in which Niemojewski tries to present Jan Hus biography in context of early modern confessional discusses between Catholics and Protestants. Niemojewski’s book is one of the first attempts to construct Protestant historiography in Polish language, yet it remains a typical example of humanistic historic writing at same time typical. It leads to conclusion that Niemojewski is interesting but almost completely forgotten author, who played important role in Polish Reformation.

W artykule niniejszym staram się przedstawić niemal zapomnianą postać Jakuba Niemojewskiego, ważnego przedstawiciela polskich ruchów reformacyjnych z połowy XVI wieku. Skupiam się na polemice religijnej zatytułowanej Odpowiedź na książki… które pisał przeciwko Conffesiej bracie naszej krześciańskiej… Przy tym odpowiedź na historią kacerzstwa Hussowego, którego ten pobożny człowiek nigdy nie by winien, w której Niemojewski przedstawia biografię Jana Husa. W efekcie Niemojewski tworzy podstawy protestanckiej pamięci historycznej, przy równoczesnym odwoływaniu się do humanistycznych wartości.
