Marek Hlasko's literary autobiography is a vivid, first-hand account of the life of a young writer in 1950s Poland and a fascinating portrait of the ultimately short-lived rebel generation. Told in a voice suffused with grit and morbid humor, Hlasko's memoir was a classic of its time. In it he recounts his adventures and misadventures, moving swiftly from one tale to the next. Like many writers of his time, Hlasko also worked in screen writing, and his memoir provides a glimpse into just how markedly the medium of film affected him from his very earliest writing days.

The memoir details his relationships with such giants of Polish culture as the filmmaker Roman Polanski and the novelist Jerzy Andrzejewski. Hlasko is the most prominent example of a writer who broke free from the Socialist-Realist formulae that dominated the literary scene in Poland since it fell under the influence of the Soviets. He made his literary debut in 1956 and immediately became a poster boy for Polish Literature. He subsequently worked at some of the most important newspapers and magazines for intellectual life in Warsaw. Hlasko was sent to Paris on an official mission in 1958, but when he published in an \u00e9migr\u00e9 Parisian press his novel of life in post-War Poland, he was denied a renewal of his passport. In effect, he was called back to Poland, and when he refused to return he was stripped of his Polish citizenship. He spent the rest of his life working in exile.

Marek Hlasko was a rebel whose writing and iconoclastic way of life became an inspiration to those of his generation and after. Here, in the first English translation of his literary memoir, Ross Ufberg deftly renders Hlasko's wry and passionate voice.

Perfect travel pack
Perfect for travel. I have always used the Thayer toner but the milky toner is amazing. It great for the summer. It moisturizes without being to heavy. Theyre small and compact for travel. They last a long time, little goes a long way. I put mine in the fridge, it's so refreshing to use when cool on your skin

Skin feels fresh, soft, and super hydrated!
I love this set! The rose toner is perfect after cleansing — it tightens my pores without drying me out. The milky toner is my favorite at night — so hydrating and calming, especially with the mushroom + hyaluronic acid. My skin feels soft, smooth, and refreshed all day. Great size for travel too!

I was curious about this product since I saw it very viral on tiktok recommended by an influencer (Nina Pool) so I bought it, since it is small, I said: if I don't like it at least I didn't spend a lot. The truth is my skin is dry and I didn't think it would really work, and I can say that for being the first time that I let myself be carried away by those tiktok recommendations I loved it, mainly the milky toner I use it after washing my face and it leaves it very soft and when I go to put on foundation I combine it and it is incredible. I recommend it 100%
