In its first part of this essay analyzes the historical myth of the Polish house, highlighting the different characteristics it assumes in relation to Warsaw and Krakow: two symbol cities of Polish history and culture. The central part of this study examines the representation of life in the contemporary city based on a corpus of selected urban novels published after 1989. The analysis shows how the traditional negative myth of the city is partially balanced – in texts based on historical and family memory – with the positive myth of the Polish house, now extended to those people who, in the past, had no right to share it.

Abstract
In its first part of this essay analyzes the historical myth of the Polish house, highlighting the different characteristics it assumes in relation to Warsaw and Krakow: two symbol cities of Polish history and culture. The central part of this study examines the representation of life in the contemporary city based on a corpus of selected urban novels published after 1989. The analysis shows how the traditional negative myth of the city is partially balanced – in texts based on historical and family memory – with the positive myth of the Polish house, now extended to those people who, in the past, had no right to share it.
