Synopsis
A masterpiece of postwar Polish literature, Stone Upon Stone is Wieslaw Mysliwski's grand epic in the rural tradition -- a profound and irreverent stream of memory cutting through the rich and varied terrain of one man's connection to the land, to his family and community, to women, to tradition, to God, to death, and to what it means to be alive. Wise and impetuous, plainspoken and compassionate Szymek, recalls his youth in their village, his time as a guerrilla soldier, as a wedding official, barber, policeman, lover, drinker, and caretaker for his invalid brother. Filled with interwoven stories and voices, by turns hilarious and moving, Szymek's narrative exudes the profound wisdom of one who has suffered, yet who loves life to the very core., Winner of the PEN Translation Prize A "sweeping . . . irreverent" masterpiece of postwar Polish literature that "chronicles the modernization of Poland and celebrates the persistence of desire" ( The New Yorker ) Hailed as one of the best ever books in translation, Stone Upon Stone is Wieslaw Mysliwski's grand epic in the rural tradition--a profound and irreverent stream of memory cutting through the rich and varied terrain of one man's connection to the land, to his family and community, to women, to tradition, to God, to death, and to what it means to be alive. Wise and impetuous, plainspoken and compassionate, Szymek recalls his youth in their village, his time as a guerrilla soldier, as a wedding official, barber, policeman, lover, drinker, and caretaker for his invalid brother. Filled with interwoven stories and voices, by turns hilarious and moving, Szymek's narrative exudes the profound wisdom of one who has suffered, yet who loves life to the very core., A lively and playful exploration of human interaction, self-knowledge and humankind's connection to the land, Stone Upon Stone is without doubt one of the most stunning achievements of modern literature and - in the English-speaking world - a hitherto unsung classic. Capturing both the playfulness and the gravitas of the Polish original, Bill Johnston's excellent translation will have readers hooked from the very first page, as they follow Mysliwski's stubborn yet questioning country-bumpkin narrator rebel against his fate.
