  • Ferdydurke. It’s a really brilliant book, masterfully dealing with anstraction, humour and extreme absurdity, also filled with a specific kind of philisophy. Problem is, it’s the kind of book you really need someone to teach you about to fully appreciate. Explain what the whole idea and philosophy is in the first place, give context to the author and the time it was written, all rhat sorta stuff. And unless you know a decent bit about polish history, especially art/poetry, you’ll be missing out on a lot too.

    Even back home, fully depending on your teacher, it’s either a book everyone despises with all their hear because it doesn’t make sense or (almost) everyone loves it
