Bolesław Prus’s friendship with Julian Ochorowicz began in a lyceum in Lublin attended by both of them. The school friends shared common interests, passions and reading. Their classmate was also Aleksander Świętochowski, yet the young men did not get to like each other, and the mutual antagonisms would become even more intense in their adult life, in journalist polemics. Further studies at the Main School had linked Prus and Ochorowicz for two years, after which Głowacki interrupted his study in Warsaw and left for Puławy. All that time he maintained contacts with Ochorowicz, reviewed his articles, visited him; they made plans of joint undertakings, such as lectures and articles as well as larger scholarly works. When Ochorowicz, after a period of travels across Europe, had settled in Wisła, where he built several villas, Prus visited him, but agoraphobia he suffered made him leave Wisła quite quickly. He detested not only wide spaces but also boredom, since Wisła of those days (in early 20th century) was not a spa town as popular as Prus’s beloved Nałęczów. Their friendship had matured through many decades, regardless of different tempers and differences in their perception of reality, which is evidenced by records in Ochorowicz’s Journal and the preserved correspondence.
