Paris 1986/Institute of Literature/Library of "Culture"/fourth edition/vol.186/13.5x21.5 cm/s.129/soft cover/very good condition.
A one-of-a-kind work-challenge, work-provocation, Gombrowicz's capital treatise on Polishness, on national stereotypes sustained by tradition. Brilliant humor and wonderful language, the writer's astonishing use of the forms of aristocratic storytelling, and the never-silent questions we should be asking ourselves in every generation.
