Bruno Schulz Books Overview
The Street of Crocodiles
The Street of Crocodiles in the Polish city of Drogobych is a street of memories and dreams where recollections of Bruno Schulz’s uncommon boyhood and of the eerie side of his merchant family’s life are evoked in a startling blend of the real and the fantastic. Most memorable and most chilling is the portrait of the author’s father, a maddened shopkeeper who imports rare birds’ eggs to hatch in his attic, who believes tailors’ dummies should be treated like people, and whose obsessive fear of cockroaches causes him to resemble one. Bruno Schulz, a Polish Jew killed by the Na*zis in 1942, is considered by many to have been the leading Polish writer between the two world wars.
Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass
This is the second and final work of Bruno Schulz, the acclaimed Polish writer killed by the Na*zis during World War II. In the words of Isaac Bashevis Singer, ‘What he did in his short life was enough to make him one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived.’ Weaving myth, fantasy, and reality, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass, is, to quote Schulz, ‘an attempt at eliciting the history of a certain family…
by a search for the mythical sense, the essential core of that history.’
The Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories
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 Na*zi 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.
