The stories in these pages comprise all the surviving fiction of a man described by John Updike in the introduction as ‘one of the great transmogrifiers of the world into words’. They portray the doom-ridden yet comic world of a small Polish town in the years before the war, a world brought vividly to life in prose as memorable and as unique as are the brushstrokes of Marc Chagall.

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.

"Complicite not only open our eyes to Bruno Schulz but turn his densely impressionistic stories into a piece of vividly imaginative theatre" (Michael Billington, Guardian) The Street of Crocodiles is inspired by the life and stories of Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892-1942). Originally co-produced by Theatre de Complicite and the Royal National Theatre it opened at the Cottesloe in 1992 and toured all over the world until 1994. The original production was remounted in 1998 and played in New York, Toronto, Minneapolis and Tokyo before opening at the Queen's Theatre London in January 1999."This astounding production creates a vision of provincial Poland in the early part of the century as a restless ocean of unending flux...the miracle of Complicite's interpretation of Schulz's stories...is its ability to give specific theatrical life to this perceptual anarchy...when you leave the theatre you expect the ground beneath your feet to give way." (New York Times)

Collected Stories is an authoritative new translation of the complete fiction of Bruno Schulz, whose work has influenced writers as various as Salman Rushdie, Cynthia Ozick, Jonathan Safran Foer, Philip Roth, Danilo Kiš, and Roberto Bolaño.Schulz’s prose is renowned for its originality. Set largely in a fictional counterpart of his hometown of Drohobycz, his stories merge the real and the surreal. The most ordinary objects—the wind, an article of clothing, a plate of fish—can suddenly appear unfathomably mysterious and capable of illuminating profound truths. As “Father,” one of his most intriguing characters, declaims: “Matter has been granted infinite fecundity, an inexhaustible vital force, and at the same time, a seductive power of temptation that entices us to create forms.”This comprehensive volume includes all of The Cinnamon Shops, restoring the original Polish title to Schulz’s most famous collection (sometimes titled The Street of Crocodiles in English), and Sanatorium under the Hourglass. Also included are four previously uncollected short stories that pay tribute to Schulz’s enduring genius. Madeline G. Levine’s masterful new translation shows contemporary readers how Schulz, often compared to Proust and Kafka, reveals the workings of memory and consciousness.

Bruno Schulz (ur. 12 lipca 1892 w Drohobyczu, zm. 19 listopada 1942 tamze) - polski prozaik zydowskiego pochodzenia, grafik, malarz, rysownik i krytyk literacki.

Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass is the English title of Sanatorium Pod Klepsydra, a novel by the Polish writer and painter Bruno Schulz, published in 1937. The novel takes the form of a collection of dreamlike, poetic short stories that reflect on the death of the narrator's father, as well as life in the modest Jewish quarter of Drohobycz, the provincial town in the Austro-Hungarian Empire where Schulz was born. The hourglass of the title refers to the use of this object as a symbol in obituaries and death notices among the Poles. "Father's Last Escape," the concluding story of the novel, Schulz makes an explicit reference to Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis (Schulz helped his one-time fiancee translate Kafka's The Trial into Polish, a translation for which Schulz provided an introduction). The old man's business has been liquidated and all his functions and authorities taken over by wife or relatives. Even the pretty, young Polish maid Adela has gone and been replaced by Genya, "anemic, pale, and boneless, ...and so absent-minded that she sometimes made a white sauce from old letters and invoices." Father's response is to turn himself first into wallpaper, then a piece of clothing, and finally into a big crablike insect who - unlike Kafka's passive victim - runs around the house, searching endlessly for something. His wife can catch the creature in her handkerchief sometimes, but cannot hold him. One day, however, she must have managed because Father appears at lunch, as the main course, after which he escapes the table, never to be seen again.

The stories in this collection are rich, tangled, and suffused with mystery and wonder. In the narrowing, winding city streets, strange figures roam. Great flocks of birds soar over rooftops, obscuring the sun. Cockroaches appear through cracks and scuttle across floorboards. Individuals careen from university buildings to dimly lit parlour rooms, through strange shops and endless storms. Crowded with moments of stunning beauty, the stories in this collection showcase Schulz's darkly modern sensibility, and his status as one of the great transformers of the ordinary into the fantastical.

Eine der großen Kindheitsgeschichten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Zimtläden erzählt von der versunkenen Welt des Schtetls in Galizien: der verschrobene Vater und seine böse Gegenspielerin Adela, verwunschene Gärten und modrige Hauseingänge, überraschend entdeckte Zimmer hinter vernagelten Türen, wo die Tapeten zu leben anfangen, das flirrende Paradies des Sommers, ein Sturm, der das Gerümpel auf dem Speicher in Wallung bringt, Nächte, in denen Schneiderpuppen zum Leben erwachen. Doreen Daume hat eine neue Sprache gefunden für das an Wortschöpfungen und atmosphärischen Bildern reiche polnische Original; mit der Verbindung von Werktreue und Erfindungsgabe hat sie einen Text von hoher Eindringlichkeit geschaffen. Sie wurde dafür mit dem renommierten Zuger Übersetzerstipendium ausgezeichnet.

Reproduktion des Originals: Das Grabmal des Theoderich zu Ravenna und seine Stellung in der Architekturgeschichte von Bruno Schulz

Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) blir rekna som ein av dei fremste polske forfattarane i det tjuande hundreåret. Forutan nokre enkeltståande noveller, brev og kritikkar, gav han berre ut to verk medan han levde. Den særeigne stilen og forteljemåten til Schulz har blitt samanlikna med Franz Kafka og Marcel Proust og har påverka polske forfattarar heilt fram til i dag. «Kanelbutikkane og andre forteljingar» skildrar det jødiske miljøet i den no ukrainske byen Drohobytsj, sett frå barndommen til forfattaren og med faren Jakub som midtpunkt. Utvalet i boka består av 15 noveller frå den originale samlinga «Kanelbutikkane» (1934) i tillegg til «Undula», ei tidleg novelle gitt ut under pseudonym. Denne teksten blei først oppdaga i 2019. Schulz skreiv i eit landskap mellom røynd og draum og frå eit område som har høyrt heime både i aust og vest, ein kulturell smeltedigel, ein plass for store politiske omveltingar og stadig skiftande grenser. Han stod med eitt bein i den vestlege modernismen og det andre i den jødiske kulturarven.Skalds klassikarar er ein serie av vellagra, handplukka verk i ny, frisk og nynorsk språkdrakt som skal gi leseglede til folket.
