| Description: |
In November 1942, Bruno Schulz, teacher of drawing and handicrafts at a boys' college in Drohobycz, was shot dead by a Gestapo officer as he brought home a loaf of bread. |
| Synopsis: |
The stories in these pages comprise all the surviving fiction of a man described by John Updike in the introduction as 'one of the great transmogrifiers of the world into words'. They portray the doom-ridden yet comic world of a small Polish town in the years before the war, a world brought vividly to life in prose as memorable and as unique as are the brushstrokes of Marc Chagall. 'Bruno Schulz was a writer of real, imaginative vision. Like Kafka. Like William Blake. Like all those dreams we have not yet dreamed, but will' Robert Nye 'Schulz's pages are crowded with verbal art which strikes the reader -- stuns him, even -- with its overload of beauty' Sunday Times |
