directed by Jerzy Antczak, he is one of the most outstanding productions in the history of native cinematography (available at vod.tvp.pl). She came to large screens in September 1975 and stole the hearts of both viewers and critics. The proof of her success are numerous awards and nominations, including. Stories about the two -generation family of Niechciców was based on a novel by Maria Dąbrowska with the same title, which in The creative process was inspired by the memories of her own mother Ludomira Szumska. It was she who was the prototype of the character of Barbara Niechcic, which she played.
Barbara from “Night and Days” really existed. It was based on her memories that Dąbrowska wrote a novel
She was 36 years old when she came up with the idea of creating a novel set in the time after the January Uprising. She depended primarily on authenticity and faithful reflection of the realities, which is why she asked her mother for help. Szumska had nothing against memories of her youth with her daughter. In the 32-pages of the notebook, she wrote everything that stuck in her memory and happened in 1968-1988.
This is the source of ‘Nights and days’, written for me in 1925
– Dąbrowska wrote on his last card. In Ludomir’s notes, she presented the careless years of her youth and superficially cited the content of correspondence, which she mentioned with her sister and niece. She also described the time when she was forced to go to work through her father’s financial problems. This did not prevent her from continuing education, cut and sewing in Warsaw, while drawing handfuls of the city’s cultural offer.
Bogumiła Niechcica from “Night and Days” also really existed. Who was the hero of the iconic novel and screening?
In addition to Barbara Niechcic, the important character in the film and the series “Nights and Dnie” is also Bogumił, whom he played. It turns out that his prototype was Dąbrowska’s father Józef Szumski, a participant in the January Uprising. He met Ludomira 12 years younger during the holidays in Kluczbork. There they also lived after the wedding, which took place in 1884. At first, however, they were not an idyll. The writer’s mother earned herself for her maintenance, working, among others as a teacher. In the meantime, she also gave birth to a son, who, like the first descendant of Niechciców, died in infancy.
Their lives and relationship have improved only when after 2 years they moved to Russów. At that time, Józef started working as a property manager, thanks to which Ludomir could fully focus on running a house. It was then that Maria and four siblings were born. Today, a notebook in which the author of the author of “Night and Days” wrote her memories is in the Maria Dąbrowska Museum in Warsaw.
