    <body><![CDATA[Crazy, brilliant, and frustrating novel from the 1930's by this mad Polish author.  The basic theme/question/idea is: do we possess an identity outside of what people think of us or are we mostly shaped by society's perception of who we are?

    <![CDATA[In this bitterly funny novel by the renowned Polish author Witold  Gombrowicz, a writer finds himself tossed into a chaotic world of schoolboys by a  diabolical professor who wishes to reduce him to childishness. Originally published in  Poland in 1937, Ferdydurke became an instant literary sensation and catapulted the young  author to fame. Deemed scandalous and subversive by Nazis, Stalinists, and the Polish  Communist regime in turn, the novel (as well as all of Gombrowicz's other works) was  officially banned in Poland for decades. It has nonetheless remained one of the most  influential works of twentieth-century European literature.Ferdydurke is translated here  directly from the Polish for the first time. Danuta Borchardt deftly captures  Gombrowicz's playful and idiosyncratic style, and she allows English speakers to  experience fully the masterpiece of a writer whom Milan Kundera describes as &quot;one of  the great novelists of our century.&quot;]]>
