This long out of print autobiographical work by this Polish author is reproduced here in full. I have transcribed the work and present it here for all to read. Copyright remains the property of the owners whoever and wherever they are. If anyone who is reading this has any historical facts, documents, maps or photographs about Narocz I would be very grateful if you would contact me, Alan at Landschaft I hope readers enjoy, as I have, the tales from this forgotten corner of the world.
Lake Narocz, Staryniki, Nieslucz, Nanosy, Lake Miastro, Lake Mlynek, Hatowicze, Old Miadziol, Forest of Uzla
The photographs are nearly all landscapes and are in black and white. Of them two: of the tourist hut near Lake Narocz and of Miadziol give best context to the text. The rest are of poor quality and are presented here to complete the record of the book. I am researching better contemporary images and will post them in due course.
