Edition 1. One of the most famous books by Zbigniew Herbert!
The wrapper was designed by Andrzej Heidrich
A collection of sketches from a trip to France and Italy written by Zbigniew Herbert (1924-1998) - poet, playwright, essayist, one of the most outstanding Polish writers of the 20th century.
"What is this book as I understand it? A collection of sketches. A travel report. The first a real journey through cities, museums and ruins. The second - through books on the places seen. These two visions or two methods are intertwined" (from the author's annotation on the wing of the wrapper).
