I would like to invite you to a walk in the footsteps of "The Doll" by Bolesław Prus. During the walk, we will move back in time to 19th-century Warsaw by looking at photographs from that time.
Spotykamy się w niedzielę 13 lipca 2025 r. o godz. 13.00 przy pomniku Jana Kilińskiego (Podwale). Spacer przewidziany jest na 1,5h.
During the walk we will find out, among other things:
- Where did Wokulski first see Isabella?
- Where did Rzecki meet those praying for the success of the auction of the Łęcki tenement house?
- Where was the old Mincla shop located?
- Where did Wokulski spend the banquet?
- What did Prus leave out of the novel?
- How did Boleslaw Prus propose to honour Mickiewicz?
- Why does the statue of Boleslaw Prus stand on a low plinth?
- Where was the Gebethner and Wolff publishing house located?
- Where did Wokulski meet the two women he soon helped through life's difficulties?
– W którym gmachu studiował Wokulski?
- Where was Wokulski's shop located?
- In which church did the Baroness order 3 masses?
- Where was Wokulski's flat located and what did he see from the window?
There is no charge for taking part in the walk, however, if you feel that the guide deserves a tip (...)
The walk will be led by a Warsaw Notebook city guide.
