Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski, the most famous Polish traveler of the interwar period, devoted a separate publication to the Hutsul region, in which he showed both its history and rich ethnography. The mountain massifs of Czarnohora and Gorgan, belonging to this region, were already regarded as one of the most attractive holiday destinations in Poland before the war. In his work, Ossendowski not only described these majestic mountains, known for their inaccessibility and wildness, but also presented the living faces of the Hutsuls - their culture, traditions and daily life, paying tribute to this unusual corner of Europe.

The sightseeing series entitled. , "Wonders of Poland", presented the tourist values of individual cities and regions of Poland. Each volume, in addition to carefully prepared text, contains numerous illustrations, including nicely incorporated black-and-white photos.
