Summary/Abstract: The review of the book by Dorota Korwin-Piotrowska gives praise to the hitherto presented concept of scrutinising various types of silence in the context of poetics, rhetoric and cognitive science. Attention is also paid to the fact that, so far, research on modern prose has lacked any studies in that matter. In the first chapters, the reader is offered an opportunity to learn more about contemporary theories, which – for Korwin-Piotrowska – constitute a source of inspiration and undergo a creative transformation. The next chapters, on the other hand, contain research instruments, which are followed by various interpretations of the literary output of such authors as Miron Białoszewski, Hanna Krall, Zbigniew Kruszyński, Marek Kędzierski and Jacek Dukaj. Not only are these analyses evidence of Korwin-Piotrowska’s excellent skills in terms of literary science, but also they prove her exceptional analytical sensitivity.
