The book "Decoded Proximity" is a Polish-language, comparative interpretation of selected novels published after 1989 in Spain and Poland. It is based on a problem-oriented and structural cross-section of the texts of five prose writers from two different cultural circles, and not - as is most often the case in bipolar literary analyses - on translational or receptive issues. The interpretative-comparative considerations are preceded by a reflection on the status of comparative literature as a field of contemporary literary and cultural studies, with particular emphasis on American, Spanish, Polish and German theories.

The selection of works for novel confrontations - although subjective - allows the reader to see developmental trends in Spanish and Polish prose. The book is addressed to literary scholars, cultural scholars, students of philology and all those interested in the latest Spanish and Polish literature, as well as comparative literature - both in theoretical and interpretative-comparative terms.
