Article is an interpretation of Bolesław Prus’s short story "Ogród Saski". It’s spine consists in motive of visibility, and it’s background – sensuality in general, or sensual feelings considered by author as vitally important in the urban space of the second half of the nineteenth century. Gaze has its stigmatizing character and can be used as an instrument of oppression, while other senses widen the range of Prus’s heroes experiences and allow for seeking in text an antidote for “sight-concentrated” nature of urban space (here – the space of Warsaw).
