Stories for a Time of Relocation
nakład wyczerpany
A collection of short stories which elevate the events from the narrator’s childhood and youth to a mythical plane, thus lending to perfectly ordinary things extraordinary meanings.

As the stories unfold, they form a family saga which takes place mostly in Gdańsk and Żuławy and Kaszuby, the surrounding countryside of varied and complex history. It is as much the history of these places that is told, as the lives of the people who used to inhabit them and then moved, and those who succeeded them and settled for good, whether out of their own free will or out of necessity.
