The books about... Poznań:)

The topic of our new assignment didn't seem to be very demanding to me. However, it turned outthat there are so many things which have influenced my life and so many people who had an impact on who I am now that choosing only one topic will be really problematic. Finally, I' ve decided to write about a series of books which bewitched me when I was about 10 years old.

The first book from the series was 'Ida sierpniowa'. The ones who know some of the books written by Małgorzata Musierowicz have probably already guessed the name of  the series I'm writing about. It's 'Jeżycjada', of course. The books describe the life of a family from Poznań living in the block of flats on the Roosevelt Street. The problems mentioned in Musierowicz's works concern mostly our everyday life and love- teenagers' first loves, adults' mature relationships, parental devotion to children, etc.

What have fascinated me the most is a kind of the 'open-house' that the Borejko family has established. People loved to visit their flat and the family was also happy to welcome their friends, acqaintances or even unknown persons.

Definitely, 'Jeżycjada' is not the only factor that had an influence on my coming to Poznań;) Yet, these books brought me closer to this city and to the conccept of an ideal family- the one in which everybody is supported by the rest.
