Bruno Schulz



Polish writer, drawer, illustartor to his own books,(1892-1942)




The writings output of Schulz contains only two collections of short stories.

the description of the life of Polish Jews and the autobiography of the writer is held in the poetics of the dream. Here a border is fading away between reality and the myth. The author is travelling all over the childhood which he can see as the most important period in the life.Extremely language of prose is characteristic of Schulz: remarkably rich, poetic, full of archaisms,as if Schulz discovered original meaning of words again.
