Stone Upon Stone

Stone Upon Stone

A masterpiece of postwar Polish literature, Stone Upon Stone is Wies?aw My?liwskiÂ¢s grand epic in The rural tradition â€” a profound and irreverent stream of memory cutting through the rich and varied terrain of one manâ€™s connection to the land, to his family and community, to women, to tradition, to God, to death, and to what it means to be alive. Wise and impetuous, plainspoken and compassionate Szymek, recalls his youth in their village, his time as a guerrilla soldier, as a wedding official, barber, policeman, lover, drinker, and caretaker for his invalid brother. Filled with interwoven stories and voices, by turns hilarious and moving, Szymekâ€™s narrative exudes the profound wisdom of one who has suffered, yet who loves life to the very core.
