Summary/Abstract: In The Chronicles [Kroniki], published in the most widely read Warsaw newspapers between 1874 and 1912, Bolesław Prus penetrated all nooks and crannies of Warsaw life — also the hidden parts that reflected the second life of the city, which were the object of legal regulations. He left behind the Chronicles [Kroniki], which are a valuable source of information about legal life in Warsaw during this period. This picture, not always in accordance with the rule of law, was portrayed masterfully.
