Set largely in a fictional counterpart of his hometown of Drohobych, his stories merge the real and the surreal. The most ordinary objects-the wind, an article of clothing, a plate of fish-can suddenly appear unfathomably mysterious and capable of illuminating profound truths. As Father, one of his most intriguing characters, declaims: \"Matter has been granted infinite fecundity, an inexhaustible vital force, and at the same time, a seductive power of temptation that entices us to create forms.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This comprehensive volum\u003ci\u003ee\u003c\/i\u003e brings together all of Schulz's published stories-\u003ci\u003eCinnamon Shops\u003c\/i\u003e, his most famous collection (sometimes titled \u003ci\u003eThe Street of Crocodiles\u003c\/i\u003e in English), \u003ci\u003eThe Sanatorium under the Hourglass\u003c\/i\u003e, and an additional four stories that he did not include in either of his collections. Madeline G. Levine's masterful new translation shows contemporary readers how Schulz, often compared to Proust and Kafka, reveals the workings of memory and consciousness.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Collected Stories | Bruno Schulz | Paperback | 9780810136601 | New | Fiction 1564761","offer_id":48163458711704,"sku":"1564761","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71zM3j9pyVL.jpg?v=1771883795","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/collected-stories-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
