About us

Appearing since 1982, "Nowa Fantastyka" is both an ambitious literary monthly and a colourful magazine of art, film, science and cyberculture. In our view, science-fiction is a genre of modern literature that should deal with the past, the present and the future; it should concern itself with science, civilisation, politics, religion.

Andrzej Sapkowski, Rafal A. Ziemkiewicz and Konrad T. Lewandowski are only few of the authors who debuted in "Nowa Fantastyka".

We published stories by Philip K. Dick, J. R. R. Tolkien, Anthony Burgess, Orson Scott Card, Kir Bulyczow, Robert Silverberg, Mike Resnick and many, many others.

Essays on popular science for "NF" wrote - among others - Maciej Ilowiecki, Karol Sabath, Marek Holynski and Zbigniew T. Dworak.

Among our illustrators were famous foreigners (Giger, Moebius, Bilal) and known Polish artists (Beksinski, Siudmak, Skarzynski, Yerka).
