MROŻEK Slawomir - Elephant. Kraków 1957, Wyd. Literackie. 8, pp. 200, [8]. broch.
Very good condition. Cover and illustrations by Daniel Mroz. First edition of Mrożek's most popular volume of short stories. Superb prose, wonderful illustrations. "As it seems - Mrozek has an absolute ear for the ridiculous [...]. Mrożek likes to write with a silly frant, very seriously: his words dwell a few floors of seriousness above his subjects. 'Elephant' is one (of the few) most outstanding positions of satire of the twentieth century" (J. Kwiatkowski in "Życie Literackie", quoted in M. Fik "Polish Culture after Yalta", London 1989, pp. 284-285).
