The stories in the anthology are not connected chronologically or thematically, but sometimes they are linked by recurring characters – including Dr. Paweł Skórzewski, historian-antiquarian Robert Storm, and archaeologist Tomasz Olszakowski (partially, an alter ego of the author himself).
In the story Wunderwaffe, an alternative post-war Berlin is depicted where Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring are homeless in a shelter, and Josef Mengele is a morphine dealer supplying them, pursued by a rival Jewish mafia.
[3][7] Sekret Wyspy Niedźwiedziej (The Secret of Bear Island) is another story featuring Dr. Skórzewski, who participates in an expedition to the far North because the Russian tsar's brother has commissioned him to find a unique species of goose.
[2] For the zine Esensja [pl], Agnieszka Szady reviewed the book, observing that the collection lacks much speculative fiction and action, being mostly composed of nostalgic tales and outlines of plots rather than well-developed stories.
She also praised Parowóz for combining a grim mood with good humor, though she viewed it as almost a sketch, and criticized Ludzie, którzy wiedzą for a weak ending and Świątynia for being overwhelmed with details on iron smelting using ancient methods.
[3] For the zine Fahrenheit, Jagna Rolska reviewed the collection, considering the volume worth recommending with a consistent and high level of stories, and identifying Sekret Wyspy Niedźwiedziej as the best (Surprising.
[4] For the Poltergeist portal, a reviewer using the pseudonym Camillo evaluated the collection as containing moderately interesting and quasi-fantastical stories, writing that it is neither a gem nor a masterpiece, but it fulfills the playful and 'time-killing' role of literature.
[7] The reviewer praised Traktat o higienie and Wunderwaffe as short, concise pieces distinguished by unforced situational humor and amusing dialogues, but found the rest of the stories in the collection lacking originality and distinctiveness.
