Would Wokulski Sell on Temu? Between Poverty and Ambition in 19th-Century Warsaw.
A walk through modern and historical Warsaw inspired by Lalka (The Doll), one of the most famous Polish novels by Bolesław Prus. The story follows Stanisław Wokulski, a businessman who becomes rich but struggles to enter the world of the upper class. It is a story about ambition, love, inequality, and a city going through rapid change.
Krakowskie Przedmieście and the Royal Route were the area of aristocrats and elites — the world of Izabela Łęcka, the woman Wokulski falls in love with. During the walk, we will explore places connected with the novel and discover how the themes of money, status, and social divisions from Lalka (The Doll) are still visible in Warsaw today.
In addition to ticketed walks, we also organize walks for groups. Write to us to learn more.
