Cosmos, Paperback by Gombrowicz, Witold; Borchardt, Danuta (TRN), ISBN 0802145620, ISBN-13 9780802145628, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Milan Kundera called Witold Gombrowicz “one of the great novelists of our century.” His most famous novel, Cosmos , the recipient of the 1967 International Prize for Literature, is now available in a critically acclaimed translation, for the first time directly from the Polish, by the award-winning translator Danuta Borchardt. Cosmos is a metaphysical noir thriller narrated by Witold, a seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling by turns. On his way to a relaxing vacation he meets the despondent Fuks. As they set off together for a family-run pension in the Carpathian Mountains they discover a dead bird hanging from a string. Is this a strange but meaningless occurrence or is it the beginning of a string of bizarre events? As the young men become embroiled in the Chekhovian travails of the family running the pension, Grombrowicz creates a gripping narrative where the reader questions who is sane and who is safe?
