Bruno Schulz(1892-1942)
- Writer
Schulz is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable writers in Polish
literature of the first half of the 20h Century. He was born in
Drohobycz, a small village near Lvov, where he would live until he was
shot by the Nazis on the street on November 19th, 1942. By then, Schulz
had published two books. They were collections of stories and prose
texts of extremely original style and contents. The first collection
was published as The Cinnamon Shops in 1933; the second, published as
Sanatorium Pod Klepsydra, was published in 1937. Schulz's work has
often been compared to Franz Kafka's.
