A Burglar of the Better Sort

A Burglar of the Better Sort offers, in the English translation of Charles S. Kraszewski, the entirety of Czyewski’s surviving literary output, from surrealistic plays like Donkey and Sun in Metamorphosis and his inimitable ‘formistic poems’ through the playful Christmas ‘pastorals’ — which so delighted Czesaw Miosz — to his theoretical writings, which form the basis for his radically individual, shamanistic approach to literary creation. A truly global talent, Czyewski belongs to the world, a world which, beyond Poland, finally has the opportunity to get to know him.
