Popis: This chapter explains the advent of the railways in line with the rapid rise of Eastern Carpathians. New railway lines would provide fast access to this remote region, in the process helping to transform the traditional landscape. Tourism is regarded as one of the main conduits in bringing modernity to the Alpine regions. The Stanisławów-Woronienka railway revolutionized the settlement pattern. The chapter discusses the establishment of a Hutsul theatre wherein the Polish play Carpathian Highlanders took a direct translation of Hutsul. The Hutsul theatre also broadened the horizons of the Hutsuls and the world.
