The book "The Last Ball" is not only a collection of letters, but above all a fascinating story about the relationship of two extraordinary women. Agnieszka Osiecka, a well-known songwriter, and Hanna Bakuła, a talented painter, met at a vernissage and immediately formed a bond. Despite the age difference, they were united by a passion for art and life, which was reflected in their rich correspondence. The letters, written on paper and sent by post, became a chronicle of their daily adventures, artistic searches and mutual inspiration.

The correspondence mainly concerns art and funny adventures of the artists together, but also separately. Agnieszka visited her friend in New York. Hanna dropped into Krzyże in Masuria, where the poet spent her holidays with colleagues from STS. Agnieszka Osiecka wrote many texts about Hanna Bakuła's painting, which are included in the book. In turn, Hanna illustrated Agnieszka's songs and drew posters for her plays, as well as theater programs related to them.

The originals of the letters are in the National Library, which guarantees the authenticity and unique character of this publication.
