THE BIRCH GROVE AND OTHER STORIES, translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones

"The stories in this selection were written in the 1930s, and evoke Poland's first brief era of independence between the wars. They are also timeless sonatas of love and loss." There are four novellas: "A New Love" (Nowa milosc), "The Wilko Girls" (Panny z Wilka), "The Birch Grove" (Brzezina), and "The Mill on the River Utrata" (Mlyn nad Utrata). Introduction to the book was written by Leszek Kolakowski.
