Description
Ferdydurke is a biting satire that follows a writer's descent into chaos when a diabolical professor seeks to reduce him to childishness. Originally published in Poland in 1937, this novel has become a landmark of twentieth-century European literature, despite being banned in Poland for decades. Translated directly from the Polish for the first time, this edition offers English speakers a unique opportunity to experience the playful and idiosyncratic style of renowned author Witold Gombrowicz.
