Summary/Abstract: The subject of the sketch is a reflection on Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz's first meeting with Łódź (in 1911). The writer's essays serve as a source of knowledge about this meeting. From their confrontation with appropriately selected historical documents, a much more general issue emerges - the specific relationship between the veristic and phantasmatic vision/description of the city. At the same time, the sketch is an attempt to answer the question of what significance this first sight of Łódź - that is, the 20th century and modernity - had for Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz's spiritual formation.
