ABSTRACT
The lengthy trip Boruwłaski’s story takes us on, across the Europe of the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, is undoubtedly a curious journey. That is because the little count himself was a very unusual traveller. To put it harshly, he roamed country after country not with the ordinary traveller’s aim of seeing and experiencing things but to himself be seen and admired there, to find new audiences to exhibit himself before.
