In Mitologia współczesna (Contemporary Mythology), Marcin Napiórkowski argues that myths are not relics of the past but living narratives that continue to shape modern Polish society.

He examines how myths influence cultural values and collective identity by exploring everyday phenomena, from the popularity of kebabs to the iconic status of ski jumper Adam Małysz. Napiórkowski also delves into national practices such as charitable events and urban legends, demonstrating how contemporary myths reflect societal concerns and provide a framework for understanding reality. Using a structuralist approach, he invites readers to critically engage with these pervasive myths and their role in shaping perceptions.
