The Polish version of the article was published in Roczniki Humanistyczne vol. 65, issue 1 (2017). This article reconstructs the image of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) in the monumental pentalogy by Janusz Krasiński, one of the most important achievements of Polish literature after 1989. In his works Krasiński showed Poland in the years 1945–1989 from the perspective of Szymon Bolesta, who at the age of 18 was falsely accused by the Communists of espionage and sentenced to 15 years in prison. The prison experience and Bolesta’s later literary career makes the reader perceive the PRL as a hostile, alien and dangerous entity, based on violence and lies, arousing fear, destroying human souls and trying to create a new non-human ethics.

Artykuł rekonstruuje obraz PRL w monumentalnym pięcioksięgu powieściowym Janusza Krasińskiego, jednym z najważniejszych osiągnięć literatury polskiej po 1989 roku. Krasiński ukazał w nim Polskę w latach 1945-1989 z perspektywy Szymona Bolesty, który jako 18-latek zostaje fałszywie oskarżony przez komunistów o szpiegostwo i skazany na 15 lat więzienia. Doświadczenie więzienne i późniejsza kariera literacka Bolesty każą zobaczyć w PRL twór wrogi, obcy i niebezpieczny, oparty na przemocy i kłamstwie, budzący lęk, niszczący przede wszystkim ludzkie dusze i próbujący stworzyć nową, nieludzką etykę.

The article reconstructs and analyses the image of Poznań 1956 protests in the well known novel cycle by Janusz Krasiński. For the protagonist, Szymon Bolesta, the death of Romek Strzałkowski is particularly painful, an event extensively reconstructed in the conclusion of Niemoc , one of the novels. The execution of Romek and the propaganda lies about it, are for Bolesta the key examples of the criminal nature of the communist regime, and the Black Thursday he interprets as an unsuccessful national uprising.
