What made the citizens of the Second Polish Republic laugh? Why were the worm scandals going on in elegant Warsaw premises? Who was the stupidest criminal in interwar Poland? How much did it cost to arrange a marriage with a housewife at the bone? You will find answers to these and many other questions in the book "Absurdies and Curiosities of Pre-War Poland"
Full of humor, an anecdotal story about the most absurd stories from the life of pre-war Poland. Remigiusz Piotrowski tells extremely colorful, erudition and fantasy about absurd situations, which were abundant in everyday life of a citizen of the Second Polish Republic. And there were lots of originals and eccentrics in that Poland! In countless examples, the author shows the complexity and richness of the customs of that time, all against the background of social realities, political and economic situation of the country.
The stories told make you laugh and surprise, but also make you reflect - especially when the author confronts them with the present. The text is colored with illustrations and excerpts of lesser-known memories, as well as newspapers and press from the 20s and 30s.
