About this Item
Quarto 24x17 cm., original wrappers in cloth, 656pp. Skamander was one of the most important literary journals of interwar Poland. It appeared from 1920-28 and 1935-39. Five leading poets composed the core of the editorial team: Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz, Jan Lechon, Julian Twim, Antoni Slonimski, Kazimiersz Wierzynski. In the initial period, the magazine's profile was closely related to the activities of the Skamandrites - it was their tribune, opposing other literary groups of that period. The situation changed after 1935, when the scope broadened to include visual arts, theater and drama and new writers, including Gombrowicz and Bruno Schulz. Sanitorium Under the Hourglass primiered over time in its pages. We offer here the complete year of this premier literary and artistic journal (12 numbers in ten issues) which showcased Polish modernism in all the arts. The present volume features first appearances of works by Gombrowicz (a portion of Ferdydurke), Bruno Schulz (Ksiega), poetry by Czeszlaw Milosz, Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz, JuljanTuwim; Zofia Stryjenska s sketches for Szymanowski's ballet-pantomime Harnasie, experimental photography by Jacek Irzykowski, Badrowski, Bak; artist surveys including Rafal Malczewski, Moise Kisling,et al. Rather scarce, with only OCLC noting individual numbers over its years of this irregular publication; no institutional holdings the year 1935 found outside of Poland. Newly clothbound with original wrappers well preserved; interior very good with one page of wrinkled margins. Seller Inventory # 4298
