Date and length ok. Article nominated by Piotrus, created by Oliwiasocz. QPQ done. File:Od Warszawy do Ojcowa.png is available free on Commons. The hook conflates decade and century, presumably it refers to Wycieczka do Sandomierza from 1953. Some sentences like "In 1983, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz wrote positively about..." and the sentence about Gruszecka's criticism would need some editing (I don't how Gruszecka thinks a 1897 novel would have covered WWI?). I would also suggest perhaps thinking of ALT hook highlighting that the book is inspired by Verne but adapted to Polish context. --Soman (talk) 17:30, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
@Soman: Gruszecka sentence was c/e-ed, I guess the translator did not understand the Polish text as intended. Not sure what is unclear about Iwaszkiewicz? Here is ALTOa and ALT1 for your consideration. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:43, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
  • ALT0a: ... that the 1897 Polish adventure and travel novel for the youth, From Warsaw to Ojców, was "highly regarded novel in its time", and inspired another novel by another writer half a decade later?
  • ALT1: ... that the 1897 Polish adventure and travel novel for the youth, From Warsaw to Ojców, was inspired by works of Jules Verne, but reflects Polish patriotic and educational values?
      • ok for ALT1. Still though, I'd advise some additional checks on grammar and flow of some of sentences if possible. --Soman (talk) 12:52, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
