Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of how Wałbrzych’s landscape and social life are presented in reportages published in the Polish weeklies “Odra” and “Nowe Sygnały” in the years 1945–1960. On the basis of selected texts author shows the stereotypes and literary images specific for afterwar journalistic representation of this post-German industrial city e.g., “puzzle”, “waiting-room”, “cultural desert”, and “French disease”. The article analyzes the non-fiction works by Jerzy Bajdor, Henryk Cierniak, Zdzisław Hierowski, Halina Lipowicz, Irena Osińska, Eugeniusz Paukszta, Stefan Pogoda-Kalicki, Marian Trzaskalski, Lech Turawa, and Tadeusz Zelenay.
