Popis:	The article focuses on the construction of the narration about the end of 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in the daily newspaper „Kurier Warszawski”. Its crucial manifestation was the „contest of the century”, a questionnaire addressed to representatives of the world of science and the arts evaluating the most important Polish scientifi c and artistic achievements of 19th century. A key assumption of the narration thus shaped was the recapitulation and appreciation of the past and the idea of a long passing of the history. Such an idea served as an answer to the catastrophic atmosphere and the fear of the unknown.
