In the thirteenth volume of "Post-War Stories", Stefan Wiechecki decides to share his memories. As he himself writes, every writer eventually faces the necessity of writing a diary. Wiech resisted this for a long time, explaining it with the transience of memories and the blurring of images of the past in the gray cells of the brain.

Wiech's memoirs contain numerous anecdotes and observations about Warsaw's social life. The author recalls with envy older diners who showered names and dates in the "Europejska" café. He himself admits that sometimes he misses a simple word, let alone remembering when he was supposed to come home.

Despite concerns about the inaccuracy and incompleteness of the memoirs, Wiech decides to publish them, applying the well-known commercial rule that no complaints will be considered after leaving the cash register. M. Choromański wrote about Wiech: "I consider Wiech one of the best contemporary Polish writers. And besides, the slogan is still valid: Who reads Wiech, smiles!". The vis-a-vis Etiuda publishing house puts this unique volume of memories into the hands of readers, which allows you to travel back in time and feel the atmosphere of post-war Warsaw. This book is not only a read, but a journey into the history and culture of the Polish capital. Piąte przez dziesiąte.
