Jeden miesiąc życia: utwory prozą

In this intimate prose collection, a young Polish writer pens a series of letters from a cramped Parisian flat in winter 1900. He describes his sudden bout of illness, the cramped quarters shared with his old friend Turski, and the chaotic rhythm of the city outside his window. Through candid observations of cafés, students, and a new acquaintance from Lublin, he captures the mix of excitement and alienation that comes with being a foreigner in the cultural heart of Europe.

The narrative stays close to the everyday, revealing the writer’s longing for connection with his sister back home while he navigates the social whirl of Montmartre, the Sorbonne, and the bustling streets. His tone swings between humor and melancholy, offering a snapshot of a month’s worth of experiences that feel both personal and universal. Listeners will be drawn into the modest yet vivid portrait of a life paused at the edge of a new year.
