This is a heartrending meditation on fate and chance in life and
history.
A masterpiece of postwar Polish literature, Stone Upon Stone is
Wies?aw My?liwski s grand epic in The rural tradition -- a profound
and irreverent stream of memory cutting through the rich and varied
terrain of one man's connection to the land, to his family and
community, to women, to tradition, to God, to death, and to what it
means to be alive. Wise and impetuous, plainspoken and
compassionate Szymek, recalls his youth in their village, his time
as a guerrilla soldier, as a wedding official, barber, policeman,
lover, drinker, and caretaker for his invalid brother. Filled with
interwoven stories and voices, by turns hilarious and moving,
Szymek's narrative exudes the profound wisdom of one who has
suffered, yet who loves life to the very core.
