A. Slonimski THE RAGE ON MELPOMENA

Circulation before destruction 3250 copies.

The binding and wrapper were designed by Jerzy Jaworowski.

A selection of theater reviews published before the war in Wiadomosci Literackie. The entire print run was confiscated shortly after publication, as it was only then that the censors found inconvenient content and the book was not allowed to be distributed. Most of the print run was destroyed, but fortunately, after 36 years, a portion of the print run was found in storage, which went on sale at Hala Koszyki in 1995.
