The collected fiction of "one of the most original imaginations in
modern Europe" (Cynthia Ozick)
Bruno Schulz's untimely death at the hands of a Nazi stands as one of
the great losses to modern literature. During his lifetime, his work
found little critical regard, but word of his remarkable talents
gradually won him an international readership. This volume brings
together his complete fiction, including three short stories and his
final surviving work, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass.
Illustrated with Schulz's original drawings, this edition beautifully
showcases the distinctive surrealist vision of one of the twentieth
century's most gifted and influential writers.
