Summary/Abstract: The writer tells the story of a protagonist named Pokotynka, who, from being a despised prostitute, becomes a woman worthy of (also social) trust. This process has a very unexpected course because it is accompanied by an extraordinary duel of moments of rebellion and joy with depression and conformism. The main protagonist’s evolution is related to the transformations of other characters – her father and her lover, who also has a dark past. It is worth emphasizing the importance of nature in Rodziewiczówna’s text; her approach to nature is amazingly empathetic and close to us.
