Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Extravagant, brilliant, disturbing, brave, funny... wonderful... --Susan Sontag

One of the great novelists of our century --Milan Kundera

If history hadn't got in the way, Witold Gombrowicz's madcap Bildungsroman might have become the must-read for pubescent existentialists across Europe... Ferdydurke is a fantastically imagined set-piece of modernism --The Guardian

Reseña del editor:

In this bitterly funny novel, the hero narrates the story of his absurd transformation from confident 30-year-old man into paranoid teenage boy. Awakening one morning in the grip of fear he receives two unwelcome visitors: a ghost of himself standing in the corner of his room, then Pimko, the diabolic doctor of philosophy. As Pimko talks, the narrator finds himself shrinking and Pimko, in turn, growing larger and larger. So begins a hellish nightmare: Ferdydurke is dragged back to the school playground and forced to experience the cruel outrages which the boys perpetuate on one another all over again. Immaturity and the tensions generated by the warped relationship between the self and the surrounding world are the main themes running through Gombrowicz s work, but it is the superb combination of comedy and seriousness that earns Ferdydurke its place as a masterpiece of European modernism.
