In 1953, during the reign of Stalinism in Poland, Mrożek was one of several signatories of an open letter to Polish authorities participating in defamation of Catholic priests from Kraków, three of whom were condemned to death (but never executed) by the communist government after being groundlessly accused of treason.

Uwielbiam.
Przeczytałem na raz, prawie nie odrywając się od lektury przez kilkanaście godzin.
A potem ponownie, delektując się tym pisaniem, dziennikowaniem. Chłonę po dziś dzień.
