{"product_id":"ferdydurke-9780300181678","title":"Ferdydurke","description":"In this bitterly funny novel by the renowned Polish author Witold Gombrowicz, a writer finds himself tossed into a chaotic world of schoolboys by a diabolical professor who wishes to reduce him to childishness. Originally published in Poland in 1937, \u003ci\u003eFerdydurke \u003c\/i\u003ebecame an instant literary sensation and catapulted the young author to fame. Deemed scandalous and subversive by Nazis, Stalinists, and the Polish Communist regime in turn, the novel (as well as all of Gombrowicz's other works) was officially banned in Poland for decades. It has nonetheless remained one of the most influential works of twentieth-century European literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFerdydurke \u003c\/i\u003eis\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003etranslated here directly from the Polish for the first time. Danuta Borchardt deftly captures Gombrowicz's playful and idiosyncratic style, and she allows English speakers to experience fully the masterpiece of a writer whom Milan Kundera describes as \"one of the great novelists of our century.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-128925\"\u003eWitold Gombrowicz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 5.06w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300181678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300181671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC118000\"\u003eWorld Literature | Poland\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWitold Gombrowicz\u003c\/b\u003e (1904-1969) wrote three other novels, \u003ci\u003eTrans-Atlantyk, Pornografia, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCosmos, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich together with his plays and his three-volume \u003ci\u003eDiary \u003c\/i\u003ehave\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ebeen translated into more than thirty languages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42695461175533,"sku":"9780300181678","price":21.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_a481b0be-79a0-4e24-860f-3dd25bc2448a.jpg?v=1649871420","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/ferdydurke-9780300181678","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
