Stanisław Maykowski (1880-1961) a poet, theatre critic, teacher, co-author (with Juliusz Balicki) of popular textbooks for learning Polish, is hardly ever associated with Przemyśl. It was first of all Lvov, though also Poznań and Cracow, that were the major stops on his way and to those cities he was most attached. And though Maykowski was most famous as an author, one should not forget he was a gimnazjum teacher by profession. This fragment of his Pamiętnik (Memoir) describes his memories of the year-long stay in Przemyśl (January 1917 – January 1918). In them he refers to the realities of everyday life in the town (the legions, Gimnazjum no. 1 where he worked, artistic life).
