Summary/Abstract: The article discusses literary representations of Łódź, challenging the popular notion about the lack of portrayals of this city in the literature. It offers a selection of walking tours of Łódź tracing literary characters (including Piotrowska Street, the Bałuty district, Łódź cemeteries, hotels, and tenement houses), and the argument presented in the papers aims to show that literary space and urban space are interlinked.
