DRAGON is not a dragon. Polish legends in the 21st centuryThe subject of the article is the presentation of the project “Legends of Poland”, indicating the reinterpretation strategies used by its creators. The subject of the analysis are the works by Robert M. Wegner and Tomasz Baginski — the story Milczenie owcy The Silence of a Lamb and its film adaptation SMOK DRAGON.
