The latest, completed edition of the bestseller from years ago. Roman Kaleta's book is an unusual in its nature collection of riddles and historical and customary curiosities, extracted from centuries-old manuscript codes, magazines and calendars. Given in the shape of silva rerum, in a manner appropriate to their genre, devoid of thematic and chronological order, they draw a picture of reality from the end of the 16th century to the first years of the 20th century. The "sensations" of everyday life in the title, as if surreptitiously observed, show the world of those years in a hitherto unknown dimension. This is the world of people with all the richness of their feelings, thoughts, fears and fascinations.
