Here you can nominate a book you would like to represent Poland in the classics category. In order to push contemporary reads closer to our time, we will consider classic all books published before 1950.

This looks great! I have added it to my TBR and ordered it from the library... :)

Great! It has been sitting on my TBR shelf for quite a while now and as Polish contemporary writers often claim Bruno Schulz to be one of their sources of inspiration I thought it would be a good pick :)

Helen Hagon | 26 comments Also by Henryk Sienkiewicz is Quo Vadis. My grandma wasn't a great reader but she loved this book. I still have her old copy and would never want to part with it.
