Abstract

Numerous scientific studies have been devoted to the Polish community abroad. However, they reach a small group of scientists. Literature is an opportunity to present this issue to a wider audience. When it comes to Poles in Vienna, Radek Knapp, born in 1964 in Warsaw, stands out. At the age of 12, he left for the Austrian capital, where his mother lived. He presents the city and its inhabitants by reaching for a specific sense of humour, using abundantly from personal professional experience. Vienna is commonly perceived as one of the most wonderful places in the world. Everyday life shows that things are more complicated. Knapp emphasizes that despite the shortcomings of this city, he likes it and feels good there. Poles and other immigrants also feel comfortable there.
