W pracy opisane są niektóre zbiory będące wynikiem pomysłowości polskich matematyków XX wieku. Duża część konstrukcji pochodzi od Wacława Sierpińskiego, pozostałe są dziełem Kazimierza Kuratowskiego, Bronisława Knastera, Stefana Mazurkiewicza, Stanisława Ruziewicza, Ottona Nikodyma, Zenona Waraszkiewicza i Hermana Auerbacha.

This paper describes several examples of sets having interesting and sometimes unexpected properties which arose thanks to the ingenuity of Polish mathematicians. A considerable number of these constructions are due to Wacªaw Sierpi«ski, the remaining ones come from Kazimierz Kuratowski, Bronisªaw Knaster, Stefan Mazurkiewicz, Stanisław Ruziewicz, Otto Nikodym, Zenon Waraszkiewicz and Herman Auerbach.
