Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to compare three literary pictures of the political transformation presented in The impostor (2014) by Javier Cercas, Spis cudzołożnic (1993) by Jerzy Pilch and Sońka (2014) by Ignacy Karpowicz. These novels emphasize their discursive character, thereby revealing that the history is always a narration, not an uninfected series of events. The transformation is shown in conjunction with the theme of historical memory and imposture. The transition to the democracy revealed the new ways of falsifying history, in which the culture got involved on the basis of mass communication.
