Abstract
The text reviews Stefan Michał Marcinkiewicz’s The Mythical Capital of Masuria. Between Ełk and Lyck. In his book, Marcinkiewicz – a sociologist and Assistant Professor in Chair of Sociology, the Department of Social Sciences, the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn – asks himself whether Ełk was truly a mythical capital of Masuria, how the myth was born and what contributed to its demise. However, as the reviewer remarks, the book offers much more: it outlines the history of Ełk, a quiet town in the Warmia and Masuria district, whose past illustrates the processes of forming identities, patriotism and local myths.
