Catalogue Note
Rare first edition. Schulz (1892-1942), a drawing teacher from Drohobych in Galicia (then in the Austrian part of Poland, now in western Ukraine), is considered the finest Polish writer of the twentieth century, though only a few of his works were published. The year after the publication of this work, considered his masterpiece, he received a literary award from the Polish Academy of Literature. He was killed in 1942 by a Gestapo officer during the occupation of Galicia by the Nazis.
Worldcat records just three copies of this edition outside Poland, all of which are in North America.
