Summary/Abstract: The journalistic output of Bolesław Prus is so vast that it requires a detailed analysis. Therefore, the present article is not a comprehensive study of the writing technique of the Warsaw chronicler, and neither is it a full presentation of his journalistic idiostyle; instead, it is supposed to depict the most typical features of his style. Two indicators of his journalistic internal style – the genre fluency and stylistic easiness – have been discussed at length; both features indicate an exceptional character of the style of Aleksander Głowacki. The characteristic elements of his idiostyle have been taken from 16 texts of different lengths, which are joined by the common topic, the Ogród Saski, a public garden in central Warsaw.
