Piotr Siemion’s novel Niskie łąki (2000) has been acknowledged by the critics as one of the most interesting texts depicting the experience of the generation of young Poles during the political breakthrough in the 1980s and 1990s. The author focuses on the Polish path to capitalism and deconstructs the key myths of that period, namely the experience of martial law, emigration for work and the birth of the free market. The paper discusses the multidimensional structure of the novel and stresses the role of the main character as the Other (the Other One). Employing this figure allows the author to maintain a distance from the described reality and to impartially look at it from the outside. The eye of the Other seems to function as a camera recording only facts and confronting them with the ‘norm’ that is in his consciousness. From this viewpoint, no character of the novel is an unblemished man, because the reality is changing all the time and old myths are being replaced by new ones. As a result, the novel seems to be an acute image of Poland in times of change.

The aim of this article, entitled „The attitude of young Poles towards values after political transformation”, is to describe the attitude of a part of young generation towards moral categories after the political transformation of 1989. The author discusses selected stories printed in „Gazeta Wyborcza” describing individual heroes who create an image of a collective protagonist and focuses on ethics and the analysis of some specific aspects of their lives. Three types of contexts (psychological, social and cultural) were used to find universal mean-ings that result from the interpretation of individual experiences. The genre of analysed text is a story with a social meaning that presents a part of the young, post-transformation generation. These stories fit the metacultural discourse of the article, especially that related to existential and axiological crisis in the post-transformation period.

Celem artykułu jest próba scharakteryzowania stosunku do kate-gorii moralnych części młodego pokolenia Polaków po przełomie ustrojowym 1989 r. Autorka omawia wybrane reportaże „Gazety Wyborczej”, portretując bo-haterów indywidualnych, tworzących obraz bohatera zbiorowego, pod kątem ety-ki, i analizując określone aspekty ich życia osobniczego. W znalezieniu uniwersal-nych sensów, na które przekłada opisy jednostkowych doświadczeń, pomaga jej uwzględnienie trzech kontekstów: psychologicznego, społecznego i kulturowego.
