City as a Visual Impression: Experiences of Polish Emigrants
Bożena Karwowska
University of British ColumbiaAbstract
This article discusses visual experiences of new immigrants as recorded in literary works by Polish writers. Arrival in a new country was often connected with life in a city built according to unfamiliar plans and principles. This, in turn, resulted in confusion, loss, and longing for the home country.Keywords:
