The First Novel from the University of Wroc\u0142aw Press \u2014 Maurice z kur\u0105 <\/em>in Polish Translation!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 13 May, the Polish premiere of Matthias Zschokke\u2019s Maurice z kur\u0105 <\/em>will take place. This is the very first novel to be published by the University of Wroc\u0142aw Press \u2013 and also the first of Zschokke\u2019s novels to appear in Polish. The Press now has a remarkable opportunity to introduce one of the most intriguing contemporary German-language authors \u2013 a recipient of prestigious literary awards \u2013 to the Polish literary scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a story full of irony, humour, and melancholy \u2013 a reflection on solitude and the absurdities of existence, where the everyday mingles with the fantastical \u2013 all beautifully rendered in Ewa Szymani\u2019s outstanding translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maurice z kur\u0105 <\/em>is a record of impressions from the life of Maurice, a character who defies definition. In his daily wanderings around Berlin \u2013 where Zschokke himself has lived for over thirty years \u2013 Maurice seeks warm, human connection, much like that seen in the painting of the same name by Albert Anker. In Anker\u2019s painting, the artist\u2019s ten-year-old son, Maurice, holds a hen with a calm that radiates from both the child and the animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is published under the patronage of Lubimyczytac.pl.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The novel is already available for pre-order!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
