• Abstract:
  
  
  Gabriela Zapolska (1859–1921) was one of the most widely read and at the same time most controversial Polish women writers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. She began publishing her first literary works in the 1880s, quickly becoming known as the “Polish Zola”. She also wanted to make a name for herself as an actress. In 1889, she decided to go to Paris, where she honed her skills at, among others, Andre Antoine’s Theatre Libre. During her stay in the French capital, she sent correspondence to Polish magazines in which she introduced readers to the life of the city and its inhabitants, French customs, literature, art and fashion. In our paper, we want to show how Paris of the late 19th century was perceived from the point of view of a Polish writer and journalist, but also a woman sensitive to the aesthetic perception of her surroundings. In turn, we will zoom in on three areas of exploring the city that particularly interested Zapolska. These were the General Exhibition of 1889, images of Parisian streets and cabarets, the Fine Arts Salons. An analysis of Zapolska’s early articles, written in Paris, leads to the conclusion that her detailed observations of urban life became the first stage in the shaping of her characteristic writing style, based not only on impressionistic sensibility, realistic detail and naturalistic exaggeration, but also on grasping reality from an aesthetic perspective, describing the situations she observed in terms of works of art – through the sharpness of the drawing, the harmony of the colour patches, the painterly composition
