Cinnamon Shops
< font face="Verdana">When Polish writer Bruno Schulz took the risk of entering the "Aryan" part of the town of Drohobycz where he was born, in 1942, when he was only fifty years old, he was attacked by the Gestapo - because he was Jewish. He was shot on the street by his officer and died.
A surrealist , distilling the universal story of humanity from Polish town life by tracing its origins, the ability to transform inanimate objects into living beings and the extraordinary Schulz's stories, which mythologize reality with a world untainted by history, can be considered the pinnacle of magical realism. Bruno Schulz, one of the brightest artists of the twentieth century, has been a source of inspiration for many writers with his fascinating drawings that complement the cosmos he creates with his stories.
“Reality is a k< b>âit is as thin as paper and betrays its imitation quality with all the cracks on its surface.”
If Schulz had been allowed to live his life, he could have gifted us untold treasures, but what he did in his short life, enough to make him one of the most remarkable writers of all time -Isaac Bashevis Singer
Those who see in Schulz's stories only the portrait of his family, acquaintances and the real town of Drohobycz are mistaken: the stories of his heroes are mythical. are stories, that is, the story of the path that all people walk throughout their lives -Jerzy Jarzębski
Schulz's two slim books are the sharpest axes I have ever encountered, and I encourage you to split the log with them. -Jonathan Safran Foer
Schulz's imagination is one of the most original in Modern Europe. -Cynthia Ozick
Cinnamon Shops (1934) and Hourglass Sanatorium in the Zodiac (1937) is written in a lively language while creating a fantastic universe, the personal mythology of a family, and this is the only dimension in which stories can exist. language always plays the role of the main character.
