Summary/Abstract: This article shows a literary portrait of Warsaw as a place for multicultural space for life in 19th century. The essence of the consideration is the place as an experimental space which creates the identity of the individual and social identity of the group. Selected narratives of Warsaw writers (Obywatel warszawski and Solec. Przedmieście Warszawy) describe and explain individual experiences and social activity in culturally differentiated social space. Prose works picture contradictive models of people: communitarists and liberals. Dialogue between them was shallow and social development of Warsaw was inharmonious and incapable.
