Zawód: żona pisarza. Oktawia Głowacka (Prusowa)
Occupation: the Writer’s Wife. Oktawia Głowacka (Prusowa)

Summary/Abstract: Letters of Oktawia Głowacka, the writer’s wife, and those of other people, both printed and unpublished, as well as interviews and memoirs, provide many small, yet important insights into the everyday life of this couple and into the contribution of the writer’s wife to the creation of many of his novels. They picture an image of a woman-protector of her husband’s good name, a faithful guardian of his legacy and memorabilia, and finally a continuator of the work of awarding the Bolesław Prus scholarship for the education of children from peasant families.
