Reseña del libro "The Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories (en Inglés)"

The thirty-nine superb stories of The Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories run the length of the literal and imaginative creation of Poland, from 1918 (when Poland regained its independence after 123 years of colonization by neighbouring empires) to the present. The stories include ‘Miss Winczewska’, by the acclaimed twentieth-century writer Maria Dabrowska, based on her experience of helping to establish a library for soldiers at the Citadel military base in Warsaw in the interwar period; and 'In the Shadow of Brooklyn' by Stanislaw Dygat (1914—1978), the comical tale of a young man's envy of what he imagines to be his father's success with women. At the contemporary end, it includes a story by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk (1962), 'The Green Children', a historical story set in 1656, narrated by a Scottish doctor who, as the Polish king's physician, travels about the wilds of Poland and encounters two feral children. Curated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones, with an introduction by Olga Tokarczuk, this anthology is a refreshing and sparkling collection of the best in Polish literature.
