Rodziewiczówna Maria

Miron Białoszewski was delighted with the porn-shop in New York, now he could also write this about Warsaw:

„„

…I ran to nearby porn shops to watch porn-magazines and there I spent an interesting afternoon in New York. In any porn-shop there is on the one side female-male love, and on the other – male-male, very abundant. …Yesterday I was here too, I bought a lot of beautiful nudes. …I bought myself today a very sought by me cymes, only 6$. A Great Negro with a giant “package” blows himself good. As gigantic package as his I had twice. …With this porn I live with the nuns. And all is well.

Rodziewiczówna Maria writer, 1863-1944

If you are planning to visit Mi´dzy Nami cafe or Fantom club, then you are going to end up in Bracka Street. We should not forget that Maria Rodziewiczówna (1863-1944) lived here. She was the author of popular youth novels Lato leśnych ludzi [The summer of Forest People] and romances Między ustami a brzegiem pucharu [Between the lips and the edge of a goblet]. The only book of hers in English was Anima vilis: a tale of the great Siberian steppe which was published in 1900. Because of her “masculine” clothes and appearance, she looked more like beaus than heroines from her novels. She owned an estate in Hruszowa in Polesia region (nowadays northern Ukraine) where she lived together with Jadwiga Skirmunttówna. She usually spent winters in Warsaw at her ex-partner, Helena Weychert’s spacious apartment in Bracka Street. It was also at Weychert’s place that Rodziewiczówna found shelter during the war, when she and Skirmunttówna ended up in Warsaw in February 1940. The ex and current partners did not like each  100,  101. Tombstone other very much. of Maria Rodziewiczówna
