ZEGADŁOWICZ - MOTORS volume 1 FIRST EDITION

Confiscated by a ruling of the District Court in Krakow in 1937, about 200 pieces survived, hidden by the author in Gorzeń Górny and distributed to friends. The book, considered the most scandalous work of the time and rejected by several publishing houses (including J. Przeworski and F. Hoesick), was published only thanks to the financial support of the painter Marian Ruzamski (1889-1945), in the ephemeral publishing house "Sirinks" founded by him (after "Motors" two more works were published in the publishing house, including one confi rmed). Contents, 558 E. Zegadłowicz. Motors. 1938. 1st ed.

Book decorated with sensual drawings by Stefan Zechowski (an artist from the "Szukalszczyk" circle), which contribute to the atmosphere of the novel. "Motory" remains one of the most daring and avant-garde creative experiments in Polish literature of the interwar period. Undated ownership signatures. Few soiling marks. Good condition; RARE.
