Sławomir Mrożek - Dzieła Zebrane #1
Opowiadania 1990-1993
Sto krótkich opowiadań składających się na pierwszy z kilkunastu tomów to utwory powstałe na początku lat dziewięćdziesiątych. W tych niewielkich formach narracyjnych czy miniscenkach czytelnik może podziwiać mistrzowskie, zaskakujące puenty, dzięki którym autor demaskuje prymitywizm, bezmyślność, zadufanie i inne wady postaci oraz kompromituje stereotypowość zachowań społecznych.

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.

Vă plac bancurile seci? Bancurile dureros de adevărate? Bancurile care te fac să râzi în hohote, iar apoi să cazi serios pe gânduri? Dacă da, atunci recomand Mrozek. Din toată inima.
Redau pe scurt povestirea mea preferată din acest volum (care conţine numeroase bijuterii ale umorului absurd). În "Insula comorilor", povestitorul, împreună cu tovarăşul său Gucio, găsesc în sfârşit cufărul care conţinea comoara căpitanului Morgan, după 15 ani de căutări. Dar...
"La fundul cufărului era o foaie pe care scria:
"Să mă pupaţi în fund. Morgan."
- Scopul nu e important niciodată, grăi Gucio. Numai efortul pentru atingerea scopului contează, şi nu realizarea acestuia.
L-am omorât pe Gucio şi m-am întors acasă. Îmi plac maximele instructive, dar să nu exagerăm."
Need I say more? :)
