Summary/Abstract: The article is a critical review of the book Conrad a Polska comprising analyses devoted to Conrad's Polish heritage by academics of various nationalities. The author emphasises the fact that a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives and research points of view from which the writer's biography and work are shown allows the refreshing of Conrad's portrayal as a man torn between various identities and worlds. In her opinion, the Polish reader can also be interested in using the Conradian prism for showing the particular characteristics of the external reception of our culture, emphasising those of its features and elements which form the image of Polishness abroad.
